Hutt Dental Specialists is a periodontal specialist practice on Level 3 of the Collins and May Building at 52 Queens Drive in Hutt Central, Lower Hutt. Dr Morris Wong established the practice in 2001 as the first specialist periodontal practice in Lower Hutt, and it moved to its current premises in 2017. It focuses on diagnosing and treating gum disease, and it also offers dental implants, gum aesthetic procedures, and assessment of unusual lesions of the lips, gums, tongue or cheeks. A dental hygienist provides supportive periodontal care to maintain gum health.
Patients usually need a letter from their general dentist or hygienist before a first consultation, and some people who have seen a periodontist before can refer themselves. The practice asks patients to bring any X-rays, letters and a list of regular medications. Anyone with dental pain can call 04 939 2499, and recent periodontal surgery patients can use the number they were given at their surgical appointment. Customers who wrote about the practice describe the periodontist as professional and passionate.
