"Another relaxing visit to my friends at The Dentists. It's like meeting old friends. No pressure. Lots of familiar faces willing to share a joke or two. I've certainly overcome my childhood scares of the "murder house". They've always made time for me in emergency situations, and even took time over Xmas New Year to check if I was ok afterwards."

"I’ve recently seen Sue at the dentists. She has been amazing! I’ve had a lot of fears around going to a dentist from past experiences. I’ve also needed a lot of work done but really was too afraid to go. I’ve dealt with tooth ache on an off for years. That bad that it’s wiped me out from basic every day responsibilities. With the support an encouragement of family I went to my first appointment with Sue. Firstly I want to point out the energy an atmosphere in there is incredible. Very welcoming and calming feeling, instantly felt safe and relaxed. Sue was very reassuring and supportive and understanding of my concerns. I felt heard and seen. The work that she done in my sessions have been outstanding. During the procedures she was consistently communicating with me and letting me know what she was about to do or had done. She fixed a horrible filling that was on my front tooth that has always made me feel insecure. Now it’s that perfect I couldn’t even tell what tooth it was that she had fixed. Blended in so perfectly! I’m extremely impressed with the overall experience from the receptionists, dental assistants and Sue. I highly recommend “The dentists” as the place to go where you’ll feel safe and great results!"

"Dental technology seems to be improving through the years Iv had white fillings for the past 27years as iv got a mild underbite condition………. The earlier fillings were abit more fragile maybe lasting a year at most …….. modern fillings seem to be abit more durable………. But it’s still up to the user to get the best endurance from their dental work. Wanganui dentals work is great…… now it’s just up to me whether I’m back in say 3years or as little as 3months. Big tip……. Protect your teeth when you sleep………..and not as important but wear a mouth-guard if your doing hard core activities where u could be caught grinding your teeth…………… grinding is the death of teeth and any associated dental work…..a dentist cannot completely save a grinder that’s in denial."
