"No my usual dentist. Lumino is and they are great but after examining my painful tooth they realized it would need help straight away so phoned The dentist's to see if they could help and thank goodness they could. Got me in 2 hours later and fixed my problem. The most painless way. 5 stars for their professionalism"

"Mark Huang at The Dentist is brilliant. My 9 year's old girl chipped her front tooth in an accident. She was so worried about it and so nervous about going to the dentist. Mark keep chatting to her during the procedure which makes her relaxed. Mark works on her half chipped tooth with such skills and detail, it looks like it never happened. Or I'd say, even look better Totally recommended...."

"I highly recommend 'The Dentists' in Whanganui. From my original emergency consult as a visitor with Dr Jino Kunnethedam in 2023, I was impressed with the modern, well equipped premises, the friendliness, and professionalism. Jino phoned personally to check how I was feeling after treatment. This led to further consultation regarding options for work on my teeth. At all times Jino listened, discussed, and explained along with clear images, costs and an honesty about extra costs if unseen problems arose. Such was my trust in his expertise with the crown work he completed on numerous molars back in 2023, that I have recently driven 8hrs to have further work done - six 40 yr old crowns were removed and replaced (plus another crown) all on the same day which Jino had booked fully for me. Once again, both him and his dental technician worked carefully and efficiently. The fact that the crowns are manufactured on site is a positive, time-saving experience. I am thrilled with the result."

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."

Now I can smile again! Thanks team."

"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 😀"

My dentist put this stressed out mum at ease. Listened to my worries and dislikes and did his very best to make pulling the tooth has comfortable as he could.
