Ferrymead Dental Centre is a dental practice on Tussock Lane in Woolston, in a modern, purpose-built building. It is run by three dentists, Shane, Sarah and Wyn, with a hygienist and support staff. The practice offers hygiene, implants, cosmetic dentistry, teeth whitening, bridges, veneers and dentures. Emergency appointments are available, and outside practice hours the emergency line is 03 3640250. Treatment can be spread over four fortnightly, interest-free Afterpay payments. The practice accepts Visa, Mastercard and most Amex and Diners cards, and cash and EFTPOS. Lumino has ACC-registered dentists, so some dental injury treatment may be covered.
Customers say the team treats nervous patients with respect and compassion. One patient with severe dental anxiety said they had been looked after with kindness and felt able to return. Another had several teeth out and a number of fillings, and praised the dentist for slowing down and checking they were not in pain. One review is sharply critical: after waiting months for appointments that were then changed on the clinic's side, the reviewer felt the business took no responsibility. Reviews are mixed on how appointment changes are handled, and strongly positive on the care given in the chair.
