"I recently had an exceptional experience at The Dentists in Whanganui with Jino, the dentist, and Ruby, his assistant. His proficiency in removing 17 teeth was remarkable, and Rubys' ability to maintain my comfort throughout the process was highly commendable. Furthermore, the reception staff exhibited exceptional professionalism and amiability. I wholeheartedly recommend this practice to individuals who may harbour trepidation towards dental visits."

"I’ve worked at The Dentists for 30 years and have had regular teeth cleans which I have always found uncomfortable. Last week Richelle our hygienist trialed a new piece of equipment on me. It was an Airflow machine and my clean was completely pain free and even enjoyable although a little wet. I’m keen for Airflow treatment for my 6 monthly cleans from now on. Thanks Richelle you are amazing. Jenni"

"After years of neglect I finally got my buggered teeth looked at , 9 hours in the seat to get teeth removed . The equipment that they had defied belief , watching my mouth get 3D scanned for the bridges and plate was awesome . When they were made they fitted like a glove first time . The service was second to none and I highly recommend Adam and the staff at the Dentist for any work on your teeth."

"I had an amazing time @the Dentists today These guys are always amazing, thoughtful and kind but today I had a whole new experience with their incredible new Air Flow technology machine I am a VHS (very heavy smoker) and really suck back the coffees as well so even though I had had the teeth cleaned up earlier this year, clearly this new technology made them look so new and beautiful and in record time as well. A far superior clean in every way. I highly recommend this wonderful team to anyone that wants the best care for their teeth and mouth: these guys really care 😀"

★★★★★

"I am truly amazed at the set of beautiful teeth Dr Tony Lin has given me. From my initial consultation, reception, Brooke and indeed all staff were so friendly and pleasant making me feel really comfortable. The modern professional expertise shown by Dr Tony was a delight to receive. He understood explicitly what I wished to have. During each phase of an involved procedure I felt at ease knowing and watching an expert perform his craft. Another special feature was viewing how technology played an integral part from photography to intimate scanning then onsite mechanical manufacturing of veneers before my very eyes!!! This whole experience is transformational dental wonder. Thank you all and I unreservedly recommend everything and everyone involved!!!"
