During your first visit with us, the dentist will discuss your treatment options with you and will also give you a comprehensive treatment plan to take home with you, which will give you details about your next few appointments and associated costs. The treatment plan will ensure that all your concerns will be addressed first. Advantages of having a comprehensive dental plan done are many. All problems and potential problems are identified. Your wants and goals for your mouth and smile are taken into account. Treatment plans paid in advance always progress to completion more rapidly. You will not let other things get in the way if you have made the commitment to care for your oral health.

We request at least 24 hours’ notice for cancellation of appointments and we ask that you respect our time as much as we respect yours. A cancelled appointment that we cannot fill is always a waste of professional time and could have been utilised to help another patient who may have been able to come in if provided with adequate notice. We reserve the right to levy a cancellation charge that is based on the duration of our appointment. This will apply to patients who are receiving treatment supported by Work and Income New Zealand and ACC as well.
