How much does a dental check-up cost?
We believe that preventative dental care should be accessible and affordable. That is why we offer a comprehensive new patient package:
Full Checkup, X-Rays, and Polish for only $100.
This comprehensive appointment gives our dentists the opportunity to thoroughly assess your oral health, take necessary digital X-rays to check between the teeth and under the gumline, and provide a professional polish to leave your teeth feeling fresh and clean. If any further treatment is required, we will provide you with a clear, transparent treatment plan and quote before proceeding.
For other treatments, we offer a range of flexible payment options, including Q Card, Afterpay, and WINZ payment cards.

FAQs
Frequently asked questions
How often should I see the dentist for a check-up?
For most patients, we recommend a routine check-up and professional cleaning every six months. However, if you have a history of gum disease, frequent cavities, or other oral health issues, we may recommend visiting us every three to four months.
Do you offer free dental care for children?
Yes. In New Zealand, basic dental care is free for eligible children and teenagers up to their 18th birthday. Please contact our reception team to confirm eligibility and book an appointment for your child.
What happens if you find a cavity during my check-up?
If we identify a cavity during your examination, we will show you the X-ray, explain the issue, and provide a quote for a tooth-coloured filling. Depending on our schedule, we may be able to treat the cavity on the same day, or we will book a convenient follow-up appointment for you.
