Great Dentist have been going to Alastair for 12years. Staff always very friendly and when I had a small problem the other week, they sorted me straight
As a refered client, I found the team at The Dentists throughly professional and friendly with great services at reasonable prices. In the comfortable waiting room, I watched videos about the many dentistry methods available very informative and well presented. Overall I'm very happy with the service I recieved.
Staff a super lovely and welcoming! They encourage you to just raise your hand or let them know if you want to sit up for a bit or need a break. I had a filling recently done at 33 weeks pregnant and the staff were super gentle and kind. I have been coming to this dentist for years now! Have also had my wisdom teeth removed 1 by 1 here which was a smooth process. Highly recommend :)
Always so lovely :)
IT WAS OKAY BUT MY TOP GUMS STILL A LITTLE SORE AFTER THE ANITHETHIC.S.DENTIST AND OTHER STAFF FRIENDLY ENOUGH
I've been with the dentist ever since I moved to Tauranga and they have been amazing throughout the whole time. Great service from both the dentist, receptionist, and everyone!
I been a patient of The Dentists for a long time (10+) years and found their services to be excellent. On occasions I have required some work with little notice and they have always been available. Happy to recommend.
Alistair has been my dentist for 11 years. He has a calm manner and keeps you well informed. I am very glad that a friend referred me to The Dentist Group.
Best dental practise around. Highly recommended
The Dentists Otumoetai is a very professional,trustworthy and efficient operation.The staff are very friendly and a pleasure to deal with.That's why I go there.
Dr Alastair Miller is great, along with the rest of the staff. Great view of the Kaimi rangers from the dental chair... Until your looking at the ceiling haha. 100% recommend for dental work.
I would definitely drive out of my way and see Graeme. He is the only Dentist I will see and I trust him implicitly!
I highly recommend The Dentists on Otumoetai Road Always been treated on time with kindness and respect and dental work been Excellent with no problems afterwards
Wonderful friendly people and excellent care.
Friendly, fun staff. Good atmosphere and helpful.
I have to say the hygienists and dental team are outstanding! So knowledgeable and I always feel looked after and comfortable having treatments there. 5 stars all the way!
Professional, Caring, Friendly what more could you want from a Dentist, would highly recommend
A good professional job done. I fully recommend getting your dental treatment here. Everyone is friendly and I like the atmosphere of the place. I will certainly come again. Top marks.
Kailey and the rest of the team are amazing! Kailey is hands down one of the best dental hygienist I’ve ever had!!! She’s so gentle with cleaning my teeth, and they sparkle when she is done with them.
The whole team at the Dentists are professional, friendly and welcoming. They provide a wonderful service and make a visit to the dentist easy
This dental practice is very friendly and the dentists and staff highly competent. Highly recommend.
Always helpful and thorough.
I love going in here to get my dental work done, all the staff are fantastic. They're friendly and genuine people, and I get to laugh before, after and even during my appointment. I pay a little bit more than some other places but I'm willing to pay that because I receive a premium, top tier level of care and I can get an appointment at short notice.
I look forward to my visit, it was so nice and friendly, And Alastair was great I got in early, and I had a clean bill on my teeth, Thankyou See you in December
Great staff! Very honest and good prices! Would definitely recommend a visit if you are looking for an affordable and reliable dentist!
Alistair has been our dentist since we arrived in Tauranga in 2013. From reception to the dental chair is always a reassuring journey it takes me 40 minutes to drive but it is a journey I am happy to make.
100% recommend the Team at The Dentist Tauranga. Whether it's a routine clean or something more serious, From the moment I've walked in their door, till the time I leave. I have always been treated with professional care and kindness, My dental issues have improved with regular visits.
Everyone here is always smiling and happy. I always feel welcomed. Great service too.
Always receive excellent treatment and all staff really nice!
To The Dentist Tauranga, Well, I've been a client of this practice for over ten years now. And while it's not my most happiest of places to be they have always made me feel at ease..Making the experience as comfortable as it can be. Regards Lynette Whitehead 😀
All staff are friendly and respectful. Premises are clean and bright. Highly recommended.
I have found Alistair Miller to be just the best dentist My teeth are not that easy but he has treated me with skill and success for over 10 years The staff are very pleasant and efficient . I cannot recommend the Dentists highly enough. I am very lucky to be treated by Alistair Miller who has the highest standards of skill and professionalism Josephine Richards Omokoroa
A visit to the dentist was made into a pleasant experience, from the warm and friendly welcome to the caring, efficient and professional work I had done today. I have been to this dentist several times before and I’m always pleased at the high standard of their work and attention to detail. Highly recommend The Dentist.
Very welcoming, always on time, great service. My teeth have never been better since using The Dentists.
Always excellent service from the friendly team 😊
Graeme is easily the best dentist I've ever had work done by, The whole team have been nothing short of amazing to deal with over the last decade! Thankyou
Alistair and the staff at The Dentists are a great team. Thank you for the awesome service you provide 😀
The team at The Dentist are supper friendly and helpful! And I have been extremely impressed with the dental care I and my extended family have received.
Good dentist great work done here, A Little bit pricey but definitely recommended to get it done properly been to others and had a filling fall out 3 times… no problem since being here and fast work, great friendly staff and Bodon lets u know the full plan and what’s happening
Great to communicate with, easy parking, on time appointment, pain free exam and clean.
I have always had good experiences at The Dentists. The welcome from the receptionists is always kind, the communication regarding appts etc, both timely and efficient, and the skill, warmth and professionalism from Alistair is consistent and a pleasure. Excellent service.
Very friendly and helpful, staff are nice and polite .

I’m really glad I went to Dr. Danny. He saved my front teeth and even recommended a great endodontist to redo my failed root canal that I had done overseas. He took care of the crown and everything else after that. During the whole process, he explained things well and patiently answered all my questions. When he said it would turn out fine, trust him because it definitely will! I never really trusted a dentist until I met him. It’s been over a year since he worked on my teeth, and everything’s still fine (It’s been proven). Honestly, if I hadn’t met him, I probably would have lost my front teeth. He’s trustworthy and really knows what he’s doing. Thanks, Dr. Danny, for saving me from all that stress!
Ive been avoiding any dentist for about 20+ years and finally went in cause the pain was unbearable, i was shit scared anxiety was through the roof almost canceled my appointment but when i walked in that room char made it so easy she was gentle talked me through it all told me to let her know when to stop if anything aswel as another girl i forgot to get her name. Best experience ive ever had at any dentist definitely will be back for the rest of my teeth😅from someone who has phobia of dentist these guys will look after you 10/10☺️no pain or nothing
Highly recommended, professional service and very helpful
Excellent Hygienist, Excellent dentist Excellent staff.
Sharleen is a perfectionist in what she does👌she absolutely surpassed my expectations, feeling very thankful 🙏 🥰
Excellent work. Dr Sharlene is the best!
I had work done at the dentist’s with both Mia and Danny and they were both fabulous. Kind people and good at what they do, would recommend 10/10!
Wow,just been to see the fantastic people at the Dentist,my time there was so pleasant and free from stress,l would 100% recommend Dr Sharleen and awesome assistant, they are so amazing ,lve changed to them permanently, feel the need to see the dentist and feel a little fragile, no problem, go see this amazing team.
very friendly and polite team, the two girls at the desk where very welcoming
Best Dentist in Rotorua, no doubt. I hadn’t been to the dentist in over 10 years so I was quite nervous. Sharleen (Dentist) and Tammy (Nurse) took great care of me making me feel comfortable throughout the process of having two wisdom teeth removed. I was shown an overview of my teeth and what teeth may need attention in the future. Tara at Reception done an amazing job communicating effectively when my appointments were and that if I had any queries to just call and ask. I will be making regular checks to the dentist on Pukaki from now on :) Thanks Team
Incredible from start to finish. First time patient here. Booked in for an urgent check; arrived at 3pm, seen straight away, xrays completed, quick chat with the Danny and Tammy and wisdom tooth was out within minutes. Fairly painless without any concerns and was back on the road at 3.25pm. Everyone was incredibly friendly and super efficient. Thank you all!
Always courteous, friendly & thoroughly professional
Highly recommend Gauis , he is a very clever man with dentistry, he did alot of work on and fixed my front teeth, and other teeth. I am happy to smile again. Jayde is fabulous. Their calm ways and reassurance was great, I felt well looked after. Staff on reception friendly.
I had such a great experience here! The team made me feel really comfortable from the moment I walked in. They were quick, professional, and incredibly reassuring throughout the whole process. I really appreciated how calm and confident they were — it made everything feel way less stressful. Highly recommend!
Had such a positive experience here! After going to Lakes Care Dental and not having a positive experience, I was a bit hesitant to go anywhere in Rotorua but this was a totally different experience. Really nice wahine on the front desk who pronounced my name correctly woooo. Super informative hygienist who talked me through everything, super gentle and kind with me. Then the dentist (DANNY I think his name) talked me through my X-rays and different scenarios for my wisdom teeth. I’ve never experience so much service and knowledge shared. I would recommend everyone go here. Thanks !!!
Sameera is amazing. My teeth have never felt soooo clean. 10000% recommend
Highly recommend Bonnie, she’s lovely and professional. She not only provides good service also gives me good advices for looking after my tooth
Amazing service friendly lovely staff especially Mia and her team that looked after me made me feel comfortable and talked to me about everything so I knew what was going on very professionally nice relaxing atmosphere was also nice to know no questions is a silly one definitely recommend them here especially if your a bit nervous they will definitely take care of you Highly recommend!
The staff were incredibly friendly and made me feel welcome right away. I’ve had my teeth cleaned by dentists before, so I wasn’t sure what to expect from a hygienist — but Sameera was fantastic. She was gentle, thorough, and left my teeth feeling super clean. A great experience from start to finish!
I had a really great experience here! Bonnie is amazing—she’s so gentle during my cleaning appointments and always makes sure I’m comfortable throughout. I really appreciate how she takes the time to show me the before and after results; it’s great to actually see the difference. Highly recommend!
Very good at her job with professional and good care of the customer
(Translated by Google) A very good teeth cleaning experience. The technician was skilled, efficient, and knowledgeable in their field. They spoke both English and Chinese, which was very convenient for us Chinese. (Original) 非常好的洗牙体验,技术娴熟,干活利索,精通业务,会讲英语汉语,对我们华人太方便了
Was a very good experience, the ladys that did my filling were really nice, i think it was tammy and this nice chinese lady that just got her wisdom teeth removed, give those love ladys a raise
Bonnie lu is the best oral health therapist!!! She is so kind, professional, and patient. After my appointment with her it felt like I was given a new set of teeth- outstanding and so clean. I actually got compliments on my smile afterwards. 10/10 will definitely come back🫶🏻.
Had an excellent wisdom teeth removal including surgical, dentist Danny is calming, knowledgeable, reassuring and very efficient- actually had a super experience, wasn’t scary at all! Would recommend him to everyone honestly, and the team at the practice are so polite and lovely including at reception :)
Maia and chey were excellent in treating my granddaughter. We are so relieved to receive their expertise and care. Thank you so much. A++
I just had braces treatment. Now my teeth look amazing and miles better than they looked before. The team at The Dentists were absolutely amazing and assisted me through my 4 years journey (2 years palatal expander, 2 years braces). My self confidence has been totally restored. They were all friendly and cheeful without fail, often having to deal with staff shortages, however remaining patient and gracious throughout. Superstar service all round. Highly recommended.
Had one good appointment with them when I needed a filling, but then subsequently tried to get me back to redo multiple fillings without explaining why I needed it done. Felt like they were just trying to milk more money out of me rather than actually provide the service I needed.
The team at The Dentist on Pukaki St were amazing! I had an extraction done and both the reception staff (Tara and Sarah) alongside the dentist himself (Danny) and his assistant (Chey) all made such an easy and literally pain-free process. Not to mention they were able to accomodate my needs on short notice - 10/10 recommendation.
Went in for my annual clean and check and Gaius was super quick to find teeth that needed attention! He was very helpful and broke down why it was important to do fillings, to further prevent damage and to help minimise pain. The treatment session went smoothly, all three fillings done in 30 minutes - also was kind enough to help me find a Dentist that could help with my wisdom teeth situation. Overall, a very promising Dentist and would 100 percent recommend going to him and the Staff at The Dentists!
Kind and friendly staff, Welcoming atmosphere
I saw Maia and Marcela today for my fillings, they took such great care and regularly checked if I was managing okay. The reception team are lovely too :)
Amazing from the moment I walked in the door. Reassured me the whole time and I left relieved and happy to go back again !! Thanks to dentist Mia amazing !!
Great service. Amazing dentist especially dr Maryam aladawi. Shes so gentle, friendly and experienced. Highly recommend her
This is a really good dental practice. I first found them when getting a second opinion. The first practice told me I needed a lot of expensive work done on my teeth. This practice said no, your teeth are OK and we can watch. They get me in quickly when I call and the dentists are really nice. I just had my teeth cleaned ans they look wonderful. Thank you .
The Dentist team in their entirety are professional and customer focused. The service they provide is very informative with options. Maia & her team listen to your needs, provide sound advice & they care about future proofing your health. AAA+ recommendation.
After experiencing a nagging tooth ache for some days I was fortunate to be able to be slotted in following a cancellation. The experience was a pain free extraction, honestly all the effort was at their end I simply lay back and left them to it. Everything was well conveyed around the 'what, why, and unlikely possibilities. I would highly recommend the team at The Dentists ... many thanks!!
I had a tooth that needed to be removed and I couldn't control the pain. My own dentist couldn't see me for another 2 weeks so I called The Dentists on the off chance they could fit me in that day. The lovely receptionist, Tara, talked to one of the dentists, Mia, and she told me she could fit me in the next 5 minutes. When I got there I was greated with a very warm smile and was made to feel at ease by Tara. Mia took me in straight away and with the help of Niamh they removed the tooth in a very professional and caring way. Mia explained everything she was doing and what was happening as she was doing it. Niamh was so kind and caring and made sure I was comfortable and relaxed through the whole procedure. The team at this place are wounderful, caring and very professional, in both their manner and look. I can not recommend them highly enough. I have already made another appointment to have my teeth checked and cleaned. You are all amazing.
They really take their time to explain everything. I used to dread going to the dentist, but now I don't mind it at all. Highly recommend!
Maia and her assistant were absolutely amazing, from the moment I sat in the chair. Genuinely interested in me and the process of having my tooth extraction was just top service. Thank you!
Danny Lee@ TheDentists, was recommended to me as I had had some horrific dental experiences in the past . Now I look forward to going to the dentist as he puts me totally at ease! I asked him to "future proof" me and he has done an ABSOLUTELY magical job. He is the best dentist I have ever had, really knows his stuff AND fantastic at alleviating any stress. I have total confident in his abilities. ( I am in my 60's but I really like eating and intend to chew my way enjoyably into my golden years!) There has been no nasty surprises as Danny explains exactly what is happening and why these things are necessary. I trust Danny 100%. If you have to wait to see him , it is worth the wait. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
Less than a week ago I went and saw Dr Mia Chua and her assistant Tammy. Want to say thank you so much for your treatment. I have a tricky wisdom tooth extraction that I knew would take time and careful tectnec to get out. Mia and Tammy were both very informative and put my needs and comfort first during the whole procedure. Like I say the extraction happened less than a week ago and has almost completely healed only needed pain relief first day and was able to attend work that night with minimal discomfort. I highly recommend Mia she is gentle and extremely caring. Thank you 😊
Shout out to the awesome reception team! Tara, Alex and Bree for always accommodating and helping me find an appointment that suits and huge thank you to Danny for always taking great care of my teeth, a trip to the dentist can always be daunting but the team are amazing and will take great care of you, Highly recommend.
I had such a great experience with Maia and Marcelle today. They are a great team of highly competent professionals.

My husband and I had our first new appointments at The Dentists - Taupo, after transferring from Cambridge. We were warmly welcomed, the clinic is modern and impressive, and Alana, was professional and put us completely at ease. We left feeling we had received outstanding care and service. Highly recommended!
Wonderful and caring people, kind, helpful and supportive beyond the norm, dentist and all staff are awesome, they take care of all the family just like we are family, that counts xxx
Great service, I was well looked after.
Just been (am) to The Dentists for a consult on a broken tooth. Short story, I needed a crown to fix it. AJ said he could do it at 2.00pm (same day) if I had the time. Wow. No waiting around. Yes please. All finished just after 4.00pm.same day. Awesome service. Thank you The Dentists.
I am still waiting for an appointment since 2025. I paid over $800 for my second appointment only to still be waiting for them to book my appointment. When I call the rude lady at reception which I believe is the younger chick was not helpful at all. I want my money back and this is the second time I have had the same experience. I should have learnt from the first time. I ring them up today only to be told they haven't received any payment yet. I ring whangarei head office and they mentioned that the money has come through it up to taupo to book me in. The money went through the same day I transferred it. This taupo office either needs a whole new crew or shut this place down I am surprised no body been hurt YET. only to find out from other locals that this is a bad place and nothing but bad experiences. If these low review all day the same thing I hope it tells a lot to others.
Excellent staff and facility! The service was the best we have ever experienced at a dentist so informative, friendly, knowledgeable, and the technology and tooling is world class ! Highly recommended and nothing but smiles
super friendly and kind staff
Very professional service at The Dentist, Taupo! Every step of your treatment is explained to you, right down to the last detail. So happy with my results, so much so that I am now one of their clients. Very friendly and welcoming staff. You even get a call to see how you are doing after you've gone home!
A.J., Bryan and the rest of the team are all truly highly professional, I'm glad years after rugby I've been able to finally get the damage done almost repaired, looking forward to seeing what we can achieve in the near future, highly recommend The Dentist, Taupo to everyone.
They are all very professional and friendly, my dentist explained everything to me completely. Gave me the time to uderstand what was happening, fist time ever I have left a dentist with confidence
Great dentist. Really switched on
Lovely friendly staff,that produce work of a very high standard. My dentist has a lovely nature, gentle and very professional. I am convinced he knows his profession. The clinic appeared to be of a very high standard with the latest equipment. I can highly recommend them.
Great people, fixed my problem
I have been a patient at The Dentists-Taupo for many years and the service has always been excellent. Zai and his assistant Lizzie are very professional, empathetic and I always feel very well informed throughout my treatment. I highly recommend Zai .. he is definitely the best and most competent dentist I have visited in my many years of dental treatments. I also appreciate that The Dentists keep up with the latest technology and it was amazing to see my new crown being made in 8 mins onsite at the clinic!!
I would recommend The Dentist to anyone. Having sensitive gums and teeth makes me a very nervous customer. Dr Zaiyou Chen and his assistant are so patient and explain everything that will be done, which makes the experience so much better. I'm very grateful that I've finally found an awesome dentist.
Awesome service great staff
Alana is the best hygienist I’ve ever had. Caring, thoughtful, gentle yet pedantic & thorough. AJ is incredibly knowledgeable, gives fantastic advice, does fantastic work.
Amazing service and very pleased with my teeth clean! No pain, no discomfort, absolute breeze!
The Dentists Taupo are always helpful & easy to deal with, my wife & I have had extensive work done in the past couple of years & are very happy with the work done! 100% recommend 👌
Never felt a thing from injections
Very welcoming and easy to work with made and the process very enjoyable
Fabulous staff and quality of care. Impressive array of equipment making it a one stop dental care facility. I have been to see Dr Jai, very informative and absolutely has your best interests at heart, with options provided for different price points of repair. Thanks so much.
Excellent friendly and professional service
Like many people, I've never been a big fan of having to see a dentist. However, being with Jess (the dentist) and Annette (her assistant), I was put at ease. The experience was reassuring and successful for me. Jess was exceptionally thoughtful and helped me through what would otherwise have been a very difficult time for me. Thank you, too, to the admin staff who were all very professional and understanding.
Excellent friendly staff
From the first contact with The Dentist reception which was very friendly and helpful to the work performed by Dr Zaiyou and his assistant I was well informed on the procedure and expectations and immediately felt at ease. The costs were very competitive and will definitely use again if required
This is the first time in my life that a trust my dentist. My last visit was with Alana, the hygienist who also does a fantastic job. Alana is careful, considerate and a real asset to the team.
The Dentist are great and have been very helpful with monitoring my oral health.
Great dentist. Very kind and caring. Love all the special equipment that helps with showing any issues. Reccomend to anyone.
Although this place is a little bit dearer than some others it is completely worth it, the service is amazing and the technology they have means a really thorough, quality job. Dr AJ and the team are just fantastic from the minute you walk in you are greeted with a smile, eveyone is super friendly and welcoming. There is no pressure to opt for treatments you can’t afford, you are presented with every option available with all the varying costs and given time to decide what route you want to take.
Alalna is such a good hygienist!!! Thank you.
The staff at The Dentists are very friendly and always professional, making my visits stress free. I recently had a dental implant done with Dr. Brian, and I couldn’t be happier with the results! From the initial consultation to the final placement, the entire process was smooth, well-explained, and surprisingly comfortable. Thank you to the whole team at The Dentists.
Alanah is amazing my twins and I were made to feel happy to be there thank you Alanah.
What an amazing team and an amazing practice. Such a pleasure to work with and an asset to the community.
Good Service & Highly Recommended, Very Professional.
I moved to Taupo a few years ago and was in need of a dentist. I randomly chose The Dentist. Originally I never liked to visit them. After a few visits all my concerns were gone. All the staff were friendly and the dentist was gentle and fully explained what she was doing and why. I now enjoy my visit to The Dentist. I have never felt uncomfortable on my way home. My teeth feel great and I'm on a regular maintenance programme. Honest Maurice
Rude service, Couldn't find my $1678.00 payment. After two weeks finally found .Needed a emergency surgery and held out due to not finding my payment!! Thanks for the two weeks of pain THE DENTIST! zero ⭐️ from me!
Very nice and professionally run place, Dr Zai Was great, and agreed to see me on such short notice!
Such a great team at taupo dentists all so caring and helpful.
Excellent friendly experienced staff and centrally located office
Very clean with modern up-to-date equipment. Lee-Ann is excellent. She is very friendly, has a great personality and chairside manner, and is very knowledgeable in current practices. She is a credit to your Practice.
The Dentist, Taupo is a thoroughly professional dentistry company. The care and attention provided gives me confidence in going back to keep my teeth well maintained.

Absolutely appauling and unprofessional experience had with Sean when doing my father dentures. When concerns of poor aftercare service was brought to Sean's attention his attitude changed and all visits thereafter were cold and hostile, after several attempts of shaving dentures to get them to fit Sean decided it's best my father go to a Denture Specialist as he couldn't provide the service. My poor father left traumatized with no teeth, no dentures and having to seek other professional help. Extremely grateful another local Denture Specialist has now taken over and advised that unfortunately some dentists try to provide these services and when it gets too hard or they realize you'll need to come back often to get things right then they don't want to know you, they'll rush you as they are not making any money off you, and this is exactly what we experienced. Best to go to Professionals in their respective fields!!! Never again The Dentists Taradale!!
Mei and Pheobe were gentle and careful in each procedure. I have more peace of mind about attending my appointments. The quantity outcome has been well worth it thank you
A very professional and thorough dentist experience at The Dentists with Sean, Kelly and Jodie. From start to finish the process was the best I’ve had at a dentist to understand and diagnose my concerns, educate and then perform the required work so I have teeth that last me long term. Highly recommend.
Love them ❤️
Was a very professional and friendly service, got my teeth fillings done and restructured my chipped tooth and more. Highly recommend these guys they're awesome !
Very professional experience, made me feel at ease with the whole process
Throughly recommend The Dentist practice.. I had a complete clean...scale & polish .. wata gr8 team.. the head hygienist was so professional and super lovely.. thanks team 😃
I Never thought I would ever be looking forward to my 6 monthly dentist check up! But I am! Eight months ago I had to have quite a bit done. The team, right from the reception to dentist and assistant were AMAZING! Sean and then Jodie took care of me so well! I felt totally at ease and was made to feel like a friend! An Awesome Dental experience all round 🥰
I'd like to show some appreciation for Sean and Kelly who worked on my teeth last week. Truly phenomenal service from start to finish, and to an incredible standard. Very pleased with the whole ordeal. Thank you for your work!!
Excellent service and care. Definitely recommend Dr Mei from “The dentist”. Regards, S Alvarez
AMAZING SERVICE! HIGHLY RECOMMEND! don’t go to Kennedy rd dental they do not assess people properly and will cause damage that you will have to pay them later on to fix.
Hands down, the best dental clinic I've ever been to ❤️ Lovely friendly reception staff, and the dentists and dental assistants are AMAZING, they are genuinely so passionate about what they do, and helping people. The plan that the team put together for me was well thought out, well priced, and they made sure I was comfortable every step of the way. The work they did was brilliant! Highly recommend 👌
I cannot speak highly enough of The Dentists Taradale and the incredible care my mother, Jane, received during her recent, fairly complex dental treatment. From the moment we walked in, the entire team made us feel welcome and at ease. Oral Health Therapist Jodie Phillips had a wonderfully caring and supportive approach throughout the treatment process. Her kindness truly made a difference for my mother. The of expertise of Dentist Dr. Sean Phillips is truly outstanding. He not only prioritised my mother's comfort and well-being but genuinely went above and beyond to provide excellent dental treatment. What truly impressed us was his dedication to crafting an ongoing care plan that perfectly suited her needs. Dr. Phillips listened intently to what my mother wanted, worked collaboratively with her, and managed her through the entire process with such professionalism and empathy. We highly, highly recommend The Dentists Taradale for anyone seeking top-tier dental care. They are an amazing team who genuinely care about their patients.
I am sure all of the dentists are great here, but I was lucky enough to get Jodie. If a trip to the dentist can be brilliant then this was it. Jodie explained what she was doing throughout the treatment and has a great personality which is fantastic for a nervous patient. Have to give them 5 stars, prices are reasonable for such perfect service.
My first time giving a Review, and The Dentists definitely deserve it! Brilliant customer service from my first phone call, and very helpful with a WINZ Quote, and getting me booked in. I am old school nervous about Dentists, but Sean talked me through every stage of a painless session, and had my best interests at heart. A truely professional business.
If I can avoid the dentist experience I will, but if it needs to happen I am very happy to have the Taradale Dentist team helping me out! They are very caring and supportive and they take the time to explain what needs to be done.
From the moment in walked in the door and was greeted by the friendly reception staff my experience was positive. My dentist Shaun was caring and talked me through everything before we got started. He understood my anxiety and took a kind gentle approach to set my mind at ease. I Can’t thank the whole team enough for such a positive professional dental visit. This has made me feel more comfortable about future visits.
i had a great experience through the whole process .The team was very friendly and professional the whole way though ,Always making sure i knew what was exactly happing at every step . Sean an kelly knew exactly what they were doing ,an worked in such an efficient manner
Sean, Kelly And Phoebe did an amazing job to resurrect some serious neglect on my behalf and would recommend them any time for both simple and complex dental work!
After a chipped front tooth threw a spanner in the works - Dr Sean and his team squeezed me into their busy schedule. They used latest techniques and equipment for a painless and extremely tidy result. I would highly recommend using The Dentists - Taradale.
A big thank you to the dentists Jess and Alycia. They were so lovely, patient and kind with my 1 year old son. No tears at all, just laughing from him! I really appreciate it.
I recently went to get a filling done at The Dentists - Taradale. I found Jodie's professionalism and quality of work to be nothing short of excellent. Making them my go-to practice was an easy decision.
Brilliant experience! Sean and his team are incredibly professional and genuinely caring. The office is spotless, welcoming, and has a great atmosphere. The service was exceptional, can’t recommend them enough!
I've been to a few different dentists in the bay, and this place is by far the best!
The Dentist, Taradale is a very well equipped professional dental practice with the latest technology, whose friendly staff go the extra mile to explain my dental care, solutions and treatment. Recently, I had to have a crown repaired, which previously would have taken 3 weeks. Rather than having to make a mould and send it to a lab to have the replacement crown made, photos were taken of the area to be repaired, edited by Sean, and sent to a 3D printer which I watched make my new crown. What previously would have taken 3 weeks to have done was completed in less than an hour using the latest technology. Excellent prompt service. Highly recommended.
Very helpful and efficient and accomodating
I have found Dr Sean to be very helpful with his advice for the care of my teeth.
I’ve been going to The Dentists for 3 years now. I found the staff to be very friendly and helpful. With my last visit they squeezed me in for an emergency appointment so I didn’t have to go on a holiday with toothache. Everyone is very professional and the dental care is excellent.
Thankyou Dr Sean for your helpful advice (over the phone) on how to deal with tooth pain. Very caring and compassionate.
I found Sean to be very helpful in giving reassuring clear concise information.
So happy with my new dentures made by Dr Sean and his assistant Kelly. I was a little worried that getting a new set of dentures would mean they wouldn't be as comfortable. However Sean made sure he talked me through every step and that we were all 100% happy after each appointment. Even down to choosing the colour of my new teeth. They were very patient and I never felt rushed out of the chair - as I have at previous dentists. My new dentures are perfect!. Thank you team - I am so grateful to have my smile back.
Good service. Nice dentist and did a very thorough job. Highly recommend
My recent visit with a broken tooth to Sean & his DA Kelly was really excellent. The sound advice & options, extremely good communication throughout & a high standard of skill made for a very positive outcome & experience. I want to add that Mei, my usual dentist at the same practice & Alicia her DA deliver the same high standard. I could go on & on about all the staff at The Dentist,Taradale because everyone of them is consistently professional, friendly and caring.
Great experience at the dentist taradale! The environment was relaxed with a very welcoming team! I felt comfortable and confident through the entire experience and left with a big smile on my face, can’t recommend these guys enough! Thanks team!
Sean, you're a bloody legend mate! Your service was top-notch, and I can't thank you enough for going above and beyond. Every time I come in, you make me feel like a valued customer. Keep up the awesome work! Highly recommend to anyone looking for great service and a friendly atmosphere. Cheers!
10/10 best service iv ever experienced. Absolutely loved the super Friendly team, definitely recommend.
I had such an amazing experience here! I got a filling and teeth whitening done with Jodie, I felt very comfortable with her as she talked me through everything and took her time with my treatment. She also talked through the procedure so I knew what was going on. She also made it clear she was interested in my life and what I had to say. The rest of the team here at The Dentists are lovely. If you are looking for the best treatment possible I would definitely recommend here!!
I have been coming to The Dentists Taradale for years and have always had an amazing experience. The staff are welcoming and professional. The office is clean and equipped with the latest technology, making me feel comfortable and confident in their care. The team there are incredibly thorough, taking the time to explain everything and answer all of my questions. I felt completely at ease throughout my visit. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone looking for top-notch dental care. I’ll definitely be returning for all my future dental needs!
Sean and Kelly provide the absolute best care. So gentle and caring. I would not hesitate to recommend them. Thanks
Sean and the team are extremely professional and very caring. Everything was explained to me carefully, and the final result is amazing. Would highly recommend this wonderful group of people to look after you.
I hadn't been to a dentist since my last high-school check (12 years ago), and I was pleasantly surprised at how effortless it was. The team looked after me very well, and my apprehension was understood and not judged. Would highly recommend!
A wonderful approachable team who provide a gold standard service.
Fantastic dental team! They're incredibly professional and truly care about your health. Every visit is a positive experience, and I always feel comfortable and well taken care of. Highly recommend them for anyone looking for great care!
my wisdom tooth removal went so well i am thankful for coming here for my procedure staff was amazing
Such a professional, friendly team! Very happy with the service and impressed with Sean’s workmanship and the excellent assistance from Kelly.
One of the best dentist visits ever. No more needing to be scared. 10 out of 10
All staff are very professional and welcoming. Jodie and her assistant work well together! Jodie explained everything very clearly and friendly, making you feel comfortable. Sean and I discussed a plan they created for my dental care which included pictures/scans. They made it very easy to understand and affordable. Sean was able to answer all my questions and guide me through the process. He is very knowledgeable and friendly. Sean also released my tongue tie, he made it very quick and easy! I can honestly say this was the best dental care I’ve received, such a lovely environment.
Great dentist, Jodie makes you feel comfortable and not worried about procedures. Lovely friendly staff and reception 😀 Highly recommend 👌
Best experience ever had at a dentist throughout all the stages highly recommend Sean and his team.

The dentist who did my teeth was so professional in his job, especially his exper Explanation. Was really understanding. Great service, great people, I'm glad I choose this dentist.i would like to thank Gina and jesse for there professional advice with my teeth.
My experience getting my tooth pulled out was absolutely amazing as i had anxiety i was nervous at the start cause i normally have to go to the hospital dentist to be under anesthetic, cause i cant handle pain - needles etc -Jino and his assistant Jess was amazing very professional at their Job , I recommend AA+ they both deserve a pay raise, my experience today made me feel that i would go back to the dentist without being so anxious
When i first went to the dentist in the poly clinic in whanganui i had asked to see a female dentist i was put with Sue, when i met sue i was a very nervous patient, sue welcomed me with a smile, she is friendly has a lovely bed side manner and makes me feel at ease and comfortable each time i see her. I am better now than i was when i first went and that is due to sue. I will not see any other dentist other than sue wendy
Was able to get in quickly as I needed to . Went back to get big filling done . Mark was the dentist . Went very well . Good service . Thankyou .
All staff are caring & professional. Expertise is exceptional. All treatment options are explained clearly, and competitively priced. They are absolutely wonderful with nervous patients especially cared for.
Had my doubts (don't know why) BUT really good place! Dentist Jamie really nice and gentle with teeth and gives great tips on how to take care of your teeth 😀
Love going to the The Dentists Wanganui, they always make you feel welcome and the care is exceptional.
Thank tha Lord my kirls teeth are 🤩
I was most impressed with the professionalism and caring of everyone who assisted me in my journey for new dentures. Would and have recommended. Thank you Bryce Mackenzie
Amazing service from front desk and the dentist i saw was awesome did all the work painlessly and quick including a wisdom extraction if you have anxiety like myself this is the place to go. The whole team was amazing
I write this review as I am leaving Whanganui and it will be difficult to replace my Dentist. Mark at the Dentist has been incredibly thorough, even calling me to follow up, rather than me having to call. I have dental anxiety, and it is great to have a dentist I trust
The team at The Dentists are awesome! Helpful, friendly and genuinely care for their patients. Recommend to anyone
Arriving at a new dentist is always a bit worrying, but the initial treatment, a filling, was soon completed. At the suggestion of the dentist, I came back for a full "tooth" survey, which sadly identified several problems that were not easily seen. Although it was expensive I followed up on the treatment plan over the next two years. I wasn't rushed. The work involved several crowns, but unlike in earlier days these were completed on the day using some fancy computer program and 3D printing technology. The dentist and nurse were very pleasant and listened to my concerns and "moans about the water spray" stoically. Altogether the cost was worth it, as I'm a no longer concerned about what "could" go wrong.
Friendly staff and Tony is a great dentist
Thank you to the Team at The Dentists Whanganui in particular Jino. I turned up for the appointment with massive toothache and was accompanied by a girlfriend as I was terrified to walk in the door. From the very beginning Jino put a tearful lady at ease and made her very comfortable. He formed a plan for my teeth health and then met with my husband and I to explain every procedure that was recommended and why it was recommended. There was no pressure from Jino to have the work completed. Cut a long story short it took nine visits to Jino and one of those was with sedation. I had 3 extractions, 4 fillings and 6 crowns completed. I could not have done this without Jino’s compassion and understanding. He understood that for some just gathering the strength to walk in the door is going to be the hardest thing they do that day. Throughout each visit Jino was patient with me when I needed a bit of a moment and explained each step as he was completing the procedures. To anyone who has not been to the Dentist in a very long time due to being scared of the Dentist ….. Jino is the Dentist to visit.
Very kind and patient people, I go there every time for my appointments.
Wonderful dentist!!!!
Had 4 teeth extracted here. Tony made the process as comfortable as possible. Thank you guys 🙏
Friendly service from the front desk to the dentist chair, and always happy to answer my million questions. I had 4 wisdom teeth out and while I was nervous they made the whole process very pleasant and walked me through the recovery process.
Staff are ”on the ball” and the Dentist team are brilliant. Speak about your options for treatment and are professionally tops.
Highly Recommended - The Dentist Whanganui has an outstanding team who are professional and put the patient FIRST. If you are like me, who are a little bit nervous about going to the dentist, the team puts all your nerves at ease. From consultation, to sitting the chair they made sure my experience was transparent, pain free and professional. Outside of the patient first approach I liked that I could ask follow up questions as it helps me understand what it is they are communicating to me. Have already recommended The Dentist to a couple of people and I hope this review gives you the confidence to make an appointment. 👍👍👍
Great team, great service. Highly recommend.
Very excellent service all the time.
Good at communication.
A Friendly and professional team. I Appreciate a staged approach regarding my dental health.
I needed a lot of work doing. Tony Lin and his team looked after me all the way through. The best dentist I've ever had. 100% happy.
Very professional dental surgery, Jino did a tricky extraction passed over by others in Nelson, in about two minutes.
Very nice to deal with. Excellent comms. Very happy patient.
Normally any dentist visit is anxiety provoking. Not the Dentists. They are very professional friendly and offer sound advice and options, with no pressure to do something immediately. I am so pleased I found them, they have made a difference to me. Thank you.
Pleasant pain free procedure. Great!
Sue and the team are amazing, thanks for my perfect teeth AAA++
Always a great experience. Friendly staff
Jamie is a great dentist, he explains things well. Jamie and his assistant are a quick and efficent team, highly recommended.
I am really impressed with The Dentists in Whanganui. I have Tony Lim as my dentist and I have never had such pain free and comfortable dentistry. I find Tony great at explaining what he is doing and why and patient and considerate during treatment. I would strongly recommend Tony and this practice.
The Dentists team make have made me feel welcome and at ease , I certainly recommend others to visit The Dentists team, especially if visiting a dentist isn't your favourite place to be.
