A small, non-corporate dental practice at 507 Saint Aubyn Street West in central Hastings. The principal dentist and owner is Dr Nicholas Cutfield, who says he tailors treatment to each patient and is honest about treatments and prices. He says the practice is not the cheapest or the most expensive in town, but aims for high quality and bring treatment and technology from around the world to Hawke's Bay.
Every visit starts with an examination or consultation. The practice offers fillings, hygiene treatment, amalgam removal, whitening, dental implants, smile makeovers, full mouth rebuilds and other specialised work. It is ACC registered for accident-related examinations. For anxious patients it offers IV sedation, which is not a general anaesthetic. The website says a patient needs an adult to take them home and look after them, and that they should not drive or make important decisions for 24 hours afterwards. Dr Cutfield says he will talk patients through the risks.
