Less Mess, Less Pain, Better Results

Investing in the latest technology has a lot of benefits. We can create a highly accurate model of your teeth without having to take a messy mould of your teeth.

Intra-oral scanning is used to create these models and CAD/CAM technology to design crowns, veneers, bridges, implants and dentures that fit perfectly. Intra-oral scanners are also the most precise way to place an implant into the jawbone resulting in faster healing times.

Keeping You Safe

As well as staying on top of emerging trends and techniques, we take your comfort and safety very seriously. Any technology used in our practices is wiped down before and after each patient. We also keep you safe through:

Cross Infection Control

To exceed the standards set by the New Zealand Dental Association and the New Zealand Dental Council every instrument in the practice is sterilised in one of our autoclaves, both of which undergo a range of daily tests such as helix testing, B&D testing, class B steam and pressure tests. All test results are also recorded. 

Our Sterilisation Room

Our clinics have sterilisation rooms that follow industry-leading infection control processes. With daily compliance testing, instrument tracking, advanced class B sterilisers and high trained staff, we ensure that all instruments and equipment are sterilised before and after use and to the highest standards. 

Our Experienced Staff

Our staff are thoroughly trained in all aspects of decontamination and infection control. To stay up to date with the latest technology and techniques, staff also take refresher courses once a year. We also discuss improvements to our current protocols at our regular in-practice meetings.
