A dental surgery on Level 3 of CBD Towers, 84/90 Main Street, Upper Hutt. Ashwin Magan has practised in Upper Hutt since 1989, and bought the practice from the previous dentist when he retired. The surgery offers general and cosmetic dentistry, including bridges, crowns, veneers, root canals, fillings, dentures, teeth whitening, periodontal treatment, extractions, check-ups and digital x-rays.
It also provides orthodontics with FastBraces and SureSmile. The dentist is a Senior Master Provider of FastBraces, which the surgery describes as an affordable alternative to traditional braces. The surgery uses CEREC Primescan, which captures the area to be treated and builds the restoration as a 3D model on the computer. Its air system removes droplets and aerosols from the room, and it has an OPG panoramic x-ray.
Patients praise the friendly staff, the gentle approach and the reasonable cost. One patient was seen within two weeks of calling, and another had wisdom teeth out in two separate visits and was billed less than the quote. The surgery also supports Child Fund, which Ashwin Magan has sponsored since 1996.
