Symonds Street Dental Centre

At Symonds Street Dental Centre we consider all dentistry to be cosmetic.

Beautiful ceramic veneers can rejuvenate old, worn or crooked teeth.

Get whiter teeth with tooth whitening, and replace old silver fillings with modern materials that mimic nature.

Using high resolution photographs and models of your teeth, we can design your smile.

We look at the face as a whole, to ensure your new smile is working in perfect harmony with you.

Call 09 379 7380 to arrange a smile design consultation.

For a New Patient Examination, we book you a 45-minute appointment with one of our dentists, so that they have time to fully assess your oral health, record the current condition of your teeth and gums and discuss any treatment that may be required. As part of this service, we will provide a detailed written treatment plan with associated costs. If you have lots of fillings or crowns, gum disease or wisdom teeth, it might be a good idea to take a Panoramic x-ray scan. This type of x-ray provides us with an excellent overview of both jaws and costs an additional $110 if required.

Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBTC) is an advanced radiographic imaging technique that produces highly accurate, three-dimensional (3D) images. This technology allows for a comprehensive assessment of your oral health, giving your dental team a greater precision in diagnosis and treatment planning.

At Symonds Street Dental Centre, we use CBTC scans to assess impacted wisdom teeth, plan and accurately place of dental implants, and evaluate important anatomical structures such as the jaw, sinus cavities and nerve canals. 

Despite all of our best efforts sometimes dentures may be your only option. We work closely with a fantastic technician to provide perfectly fitting, comfortable and natural looking dentures.

Not all fillings are created equal. Gone are the days of unsightly dark silver fillings. We use the highest quality white filling materials and most up to date techniques to provide beautiful long lasting fillings.

Modern white filling materials mimic natural tooth structure, don’t contain dangerous mercury and are set instantly with intense LED blue lights so are ready to be eaten on as soon as you leave the dental practice.

If you have old silver fillings you’d like replaced or think you may have a dental cavity, call 09 379 7380.

Root canal treatment is used to save teeth that would otherwise need to be removed. The dental pulp (nerve and blood supply in the centre of the tooth and root canal) can become infected due to decay, cracks in the tooth or injury. Root canal treatment is the process of cleaning the root canals of all infection and sealing them so they can’t become infected again. Historically, root canal treatment has had a bad reputation, and everyone’s heard horror stories about them. Modern root canal treatments using advanced equipment and state of the art techniques are predictable and generally pain free.

The tooth to be treated is completely numbed and then isolated using a sheet of latex called a rubber dam. This helps us to sterilise inside the tooth and enables the patient to remain relaxed during the entire procedure. Electronic devices allow us to accurately measure the length of the tooth, minimising the number of X-Rays required during treatment.

At Symonds Street Dental Centre, we’re passionate about saving teeth and regularly attend training courses to keep up to date with the best techniques.

If you have a Tooth Ache or think you may need a root canal filling, call us now on 09 379 7380.

Porcelain veneers are a fantastic way to improve flaws in your smile. A very thin piece of ceramic, they are custom made by a Dental Technician and bonded to the front of your tooth. From individual teeth right through to the 10 teeth that make up your smile.

Size, shape, colour and position can all be optimised to provide you with a beautiful smile.

By using photographs and models of your teeth, we can design your smile. Looking at the face as a whole, we make sure your new smile is working in perfect harmony with you.
