"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."

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"

"Amazing service!! I've always being so scared to go to the dentist. At 1st I was scared but the friendly dentist and his lovely assistant made it all ok and I surprisingly was very relaxed. Honestly didn't feel a thing. My fear is needles but that actually went so well that i felt nothing. I have had no pain whatsoever since I left there. I thought once the numbing went away I'd get some sort of pain.. but nothing at all. Holly served me at the front desk.. she was polite and very kind. I highly recommend this dentist!! Especially if you have anxiety and are fearful of dental treatments. Thank you The DentistTaupo for a great and painless caring experience. Amazing!!"
