Talk to our team

Your first visit is where your journey begins. During this initial consultation, we’ll talk about what’s concerning you and discuss the treatment options available.
This first consultation is completely free, giving you a chance to meet our team and see if we’re the right fit for you. From there we will make a treatment plan based around your oral health care needs.

You can reach out to us online or give us a call, and one of our friendly team members will arrange a time for you to visit either our main clinic in Christchurch or one of our local satellite practices.

Our goal is to help you feel confident about your care and make sure you’re starting your smile journey in the right place.
