Let's face it, going to the dentist is not something most people look forward to. But that shouldn't be the case. And at Dentalcare West, we work hard to make sure every visit is as pleasant and painless as possible.

So what do we do differently? First up, we only use the very best technology, materials and techniques. That means you can trust you're getting premium quality dental care.

Secondly, we believe quality dental care should be affordable. Because of our practice size and buying power, we're able to negotiate excellent rates on the materials we use. And that means more affordable dental care for you.

And finally, every one of our of staff members loves what they do. We're not just passionate about dental care, we care about the people we treat. We enjoy getting to know our patients and their families – and it's important to us that you enjoy getting to know us too.

We started in Glen Eden in 1965. Our practice was the first in New Zealand to offer nitrous oxide sedation, one of the first to do dental implants and also broke a gentlemen's agreement that restricted opening hours of 9am to 5pm by offering patients appointments before or after work, something we are proud to continue to this day!

In 2016 we needed more space to accommodate our expanding patient following and team. We had a brand new, state-of-the-art clinic built across the road from where we had been. This meant that we could offer better care to more of our patients and their growing whanau. Most of our original 1965 patients, their children, grandchildren and even great grandchildren continue to be regular patients.

And we keep making history each day! Over the last 10 years we have introduced free dental days which has been taken up by lots of other clinics around New Zealand. We never stop thinking how we can improve the oral health of kiwis.
