SPECIALIST ORTHODONTICS & FAMILY DENTISTRY
We're a locally owned Christchurch practice with one specialty — orthodontics — and a full general practice around it. Braces and aligners for teens and adults, check-ups and cleans for everyone, and same-day slots when something hurts.
Our home clinic is in Papanui, and we run visiting orthodontic days in Ashburton, West Melton and Greymouth, so much of Canterbury and the West Coast never has to drive into the city for an adjustment.
"Nobody likes going to the dentist. We just try to be the reason you don't mind."
