In Newtown, Capital Dental offers a genuinely comprehensive range of dental services as part of a wider group with 9 locations spread across the Wellington region.
Capital Dental describes its team as an amazing, caring group of dental professionals and specialists dedicated to guiding patients through their treatment. Each team member is committed to creating a positive, encouraging and enjoyable environment for patients and their families, backed by a stated mission to provide the finest treatment available and exceed patient expectations.
Like any good dental practice, Capital Dental places a strong emphasis on preventative dentistry — helping patients avoid more complex treatment down the line. This includes regular dental check-ups, professional cleans and oral hygiene instruction, fissure sealants to help prevent decay, and custom night guards or sports mouth guards for patients who need them.
When restorative work is needed, Capital Dental offers fillings, root canal treatment and dentures, with dentists guiding patients through treatment plans in a way designed to be genuinely understandable. On the cosmetic side, the practice offers teeth whitening, crowns, bridges, and even Botox, alongside Cerec same-day crown and veneer technology — meaning some cosmetic work can be completed in a single visit rather than requiring multiple appointments. The group also has access to a Prosthodontist who specialises in crowns, bridges and dentures.
For patients wanting straighter teeth, Capital Dental offers a range of orthodontic solutions including Invisalign, Angel Aligner, and Fastbraces® — giving patients different options depending on their preferences and treatment needs. As a broader group with multiple practices, not every orthodontic option is necessarily available at every single location, so patients are encouraged to check which treatments are offered at their preferred practice.
Capital Dental's general dentists handle most surgical procedures themselves, including tooth extractions and wisdom teeth extractions, with sedation available if needed to ensure comfort. The practice can also remove oral lesions for biopsy and carry out tissue recontouring, and works with top oral surgeons in the area for cases that need a specialist referral.
Recognising that dental anxiety is common — the practice references a 2013 NZ Herald survey finding many New Zealanders would rather face an awkward encounter than visit the dentist — Capital Dental has dentists qualified to offer both oral and IV sedation, aimed at making treatment as comfortable as possible for nervous patients.
Capital Dental also addresses dental sleep medicine, helping patients who snore, feel tired during the day, or grind and clench their teeth. Patients can book a consultation with the practice's specialist, Dr Parmar, to explore options for improving sleep quality through dental-related interventions.
As part of a group with 9 locations throughout Wellington, Capital Dental Newtown benefits from the resources and specialist expertise available across the wider practice network, including access to endodontic specialists and prosthodontic care when a patient's needs go beyond general dentistry.
Capital Dental Newtown is located at 172 Riddiford Street, Newtown, Wellington. Whether the need is a routine check-up, cosmetic treatment, orthodontics, or help with a dental phobia through sedation, Capital Dental Newtown offers access to the group's full range of dental services and specialist expertise.
