COVID-19 Information
We would like to take this opportunity to say a big thank you to all of our patients for your support and understanding over the lockdown!
As we are now at alert level 1, we are able to resume non-urgent and routine dental care again. It’s been a tough couple of months for everyone, but we are very excited to be able to be back open and providing dental care for all of our patients again. Both our practices are now fully back up and running providing a full range of dental care including our hygienists and orthodontist (braces).
Here at the Gentle Dental Centre the safety of our staff, patients and community is of paramount importance to us so we’ll still be taking all necessary precautions as mandated by the NZ Dental Council and Ministry of Health against Covid-19.
To maintain social distancing and contact tracing requirements, we kindly ask that only patients with pre-made appointments enter the practice. We are now taking all new bookings over the phone or via our online booking page.
Please note it is very important that if you have any flu-like symptoms or have been in contact with anyone diagnosed with Covid-19, please avoid coming directly into the clinic. Phone us for advice and to discuss your options first.
Check out our social media! We will continue to post updates on this platform also.
Stay safe and be kind everyone!
