A family dental practice opposite the main entrance of Highbury Shopping Centre in Birkenhead, Mokoia Road Dental Centre was first started by Dr Tom Fitzsimons in January 1970. The team is three dentists and four nurses, and the practice says it has served Birkenhead and the North Shore for more than 40 years. It offers general check-ups, scale and polish, fillings, crowns and bridges, root canal treatment, orthodontics, whitening, veneers and Invisalign. Free dental treatment is offered to high school students, and there is a free WINZ quote and emergency pain relief. The practice uses digital x-rays and says it keeps up with new techniques.
The centre is opposite Highbury Shopping Centre, with plenty of free parking around the complex, and it is a short walk from Birkenhead Village. The practice says it serves patients from Birkenhead, Northcote, Birkdale, Glenfield, Hillcrest and Albany, and that many patients have stayed with the same team for years.
