    I am reluctant to tell how good Ivan is because it will be harder to get an appointment when…read moreeveryone flocks to see him. Ivan is the best Dentist in the country!

    Needles don't bother me, I actually enjoy watching them go into my arm (that's weird, sorry). And I…read morelike going to the doctor, obviously not if it's for something serious. But I like check ups, and scans and acupunture and doctors hands on my neck and stuff. I'm going to regret writing this I think. But, the one medical visit I absolutely do not enjoy is the dentist. I just hate the invasiveness of someone being all up in my mouth, and why, WHY would you ask me questions when you can't understand my reply?! At the beginning of last year I got a really bad toothache and dad told me to try out this new guy. Well, I expected the worst, obiously, but seriously, this was such a pain free experience it makes me question what all the other dentists were doing... Ivan is super friendly, and super intelligent. This made me relax a bit. He sat me down and explained everything that he would be doing, which prepared me mentally and left no room for surprises of the bad kind. There was of course the unpleasant sounds of drills and whatnot, but for the first time I was able to kind of ignore it and just lie there. It helps that there is a tv on the roof. Going to the dentist is never going to be great, but this was such a mellow experience i'm no longer ignoring potentially serious mouth issues just to avoid the dentist. And the extra bonus? His fee is extremely reasonable

    Couldn't be happier with Hinemoa Dental. I was very worried at first because I needed a lot of…read morefillings and the last dentist I saw was judgmental and told me I needed an expensive root canal. The guys at Hinemoa Dental made me feel very at ease and not only managed to save all my teeth with fillings but did it for an excellent price. The practice was very lovely also. I had 12 fillings done and did not feel a thing

    So I'm new to the area and I need to visit a dentist as its been a few years well maybe a couple…read more So I ask my neighbour for a recommendation and she practically sings "yes I do know a good dentist and I have been using them for years", so she runs upstairs and gets the business card and she says "you have to ask for 'Mayank'" make sure you ask for him, make sure, she tells me about 100 times, drilled it into my head. So I ring them up and do what she says, the appointment is all set, I turn up and I am quickly attended to, the dentist comes in and I have no idea if he is Mayank or not but he is very good, very gentle. He gives my teeth a check and amazingly says I only need a couple of small fillings, don't dentists always say you need about 50 of them. Anyway in 20 minutes I'm finished, no anaesthetic needed, I'm a brave girl. And when I go and pay, I ask the receptionist, was that Mayank, Yes it was Mayank, Oh thank god or my neighbour would have told me off I'm sure. Oh and very reasonable price too. If you need a dentist do come here, I think he also has a practice in Mairangi Bay.

    Beware.... My wife had a horrible experience. Went in to have a filling replaced at 350 dollars…read more Dentist told her she would raise the filling slightly to take the pressure off (no mention of price). Then was charged an extra 1000 dollars on top of the filling. My wife then could not chew as her jaw was out of alignment and was told she needs to come back and spend another 1000 dollars to raise the other side. This was for preventative work only, no costs were given and we feel tricked into getting treatment we would not have agreed to if it was discussed first. Dentist then apologized for not getting proper consent for the procedure. However it will now be the 5th visit and jaw pains persist, as well as being out of pocket thousands for work that was never wanted. Will never go back. Beware they can trick you out of a lot of money.

    Went because I had a couple of fillings to be done . I was then presented with a very expensive…read moretreatment plan for cosmetic work I never asked for. As I was leaving, I was informed by the dentist that she had put resin on a tooth in a way she didn't normally, and if it fell apart over Christmas, where the emergency dentist was. Suffice to say, I won't be back. I don't pay dentists to experiment on my teeth. Instead of doing a conservative job she ruined my bottom teeth by removing top portions and adding resin. I can't floss my teeth properley because the tops aren't flush with the teeth leaving food to get caught. My teeth on one side of my jaw are now higher and steeper than the other side. To increase vertical dimensions you need to have done specialised training which it is obvious she didn't bother to do. My advice, avoid at all cost.
