Comprehensive Dental Care and Modern Restorations at Cashmere Dentists

Located at 15 Colombo Street, Cashmere Dentists has established itself as a reliable oral health practice for the local Cashmere and wider Christchurch communities. The practice blends approachable neighbourhood dental care with modern clinical technology, offering a relaxed environment designed to take the stress out of routine and complex treatments alike.

The Clinical Team

The practice's clinical care is led by dentists George Glausiuss and James Nicholls. George Glausiuss brings over sixteen years of Christchurch dental practice experience, having previously worked in Papanui before settling into the Cashmere community where he also lives with his family. The dental team also includes dental hygienists Natasha Glausiuss and Lily Thoroughgood, dental assistants Carolyn and Wendy, and receptionist Ingrid, providing continuity of care and welcoming patient support.

Technology and Ceramic Restorations

A notable focus at Cashmere Dentists is their integration of CAD/CAM technology. Utilizing updated CEREC software systems, the clinic provides digital scanning and manufacturing for white ceramic restorations. This setup enables patients to receive permanent ceramic crowns within a single appointment, eliminating the need for temporary fittings and multi-week waits. The system also supports the design and placement of bridges, porcelain veneers, and implant restorations within a short timeframe.

In addition to CAD/CAM restorative milling, the clinic utilizes instant digital X-rays and full-jaw OPG panoramic radiographic imaging. These diagnostic tools allow the clinicians to assess wisdom tooth positioning, detect dental pathology, and monitor general tooth health.

Full Scope of Family and Emergency Dentistry

Cashmere Dentists covers the full range of day-to-day dental requirements, from routine oral health assessments and dedicated hygienist cleanings to restorative procedures including white fillings, root canal therapy (endodontics), full or partial dentures, and wisdom tooth extractions. For younger patients, the clinic provides adolescent oral health services for high school pupils up to 18 years of age. They also provide treatment covered under ACC for accidental dental injuries, and can facilitate sedation for patients requiring extra support during clinical appointments.

For sudden dental issues outside standard weekday hours, Cashmere Dentists participates in an emergency dental network in association with other Canterbury Branch members of the New Zealand Dental Association, ensuring patient access to an on-call dentist across weekends and public holidays.
