CHAPTER ONE — THE PRACTICE
Locally owned. No rushed appointments, no treatment plans you didn't ask for — just straight answers about your teeth.
CHAPTER TWO — WHAT WE DO
Two crafts, one roof.
Orthodontics is our specialty — braces and aligners for teens and adults. Around it sits a full general practice for check-ups, cleans, fillings and the rest of life's dental maintenance, plus same-day emergency slots.
Orthodontics
- Metal braces — the reliable workhorse for teens and complex bites
- Ceramic braces — tooth-coloured brackets, less visible
- Full assessment with photos & X-rays before any quote
- Reviews at Papanui, Ashburton, West Melton or Greymouth
Clear aligners
- Removable trays for mild to moderate crowding
- Honest screening — not every case suits aligners
- Remote photo check-ins between visits
- Refinement trays planned in from the start
General dentistry
- Comprehensive exams with oral cancer screen

Emergency care

FAQ
Do I need a referral?
No — book directly, no GP or dentist referral required. Bring recent X-rays if you have them.
How much do braces cost?
It depends on case complexity. You get an itemised written quote after assessment, with payment plans available. Prices on this concept page are samples.
Am I too old for braces?
No — many of our orthodontic patients are adults. We check gum and bone health first and give you a straight answer.
Do you treat emergencies?
Yes. Same-day emergency slots every working day — call 03 358 5079 as early as you can.
