The Terrace Dental Practice is a centrally located dental clinic on Level 1 at 50 The Terrace, right in the heart of Wellington's CBD. Part of the Lumino The Dentists network, it serves city professionals, students and local residents who want reliable dental care close to work or home. The experienced team of dentists, hygienists and support staff focuses on personalised treatment in a relaxed, professional environment, supporting patients' long-term oral health.
The practice offers a comprehensive range of general and cosmetic dentistry: exams and X-rays, hygiene services and cleaning, fillings, root canals, extractions and wisdom teeth removal, plus dentures, crowns, bridges, veneers, Invisalign®, braces and dental implants. Professional teeth whitening is available in both in-practice and take-home forms.
Emergencies are a priority here — same-day appointments are often available for cracked teeth, injuries and sudden pain, and the team is ACC-registered for accident and sports-related dental injuries. Payment is kept flexible with Afterpay, Q Mastercard® and Q Card finance, all major credit cards, EFTPOS and cash, and the practice accepts ACC, WINZ and Southern Cross, with SuperGold Card discounts where eligible.
Finding time for the dentist in a busy city isn't always easy, which is exactly why The Terrace Dental Practice sits where it does: on Level 1 at 50 The Terrace, steps from anywhere in Wellington's central business district. Whether you're a professional squeezing a check-up between meetings, a student in town for the semester, or a local resident looking for a long-term dental home, the practice is built around making care convenient.
As part of the wider Lumino The Dentists network, the practice pairs the resources and modern equipment of New Zealand's largest dental group with the feel of a local neighbourhood clinic. From your very first visit, the focus is on building trust, understanding your individual needs and delivering treatment that keeps you comfortable — not just today, but for the long term.
General dentistry is the backbone of the practice. Comprehensive exams with X-rays catch problems early, while professional hygiene services and dental cleaning keep teeth and gums in good shape between visits. Fillings, root canals, tooth extractions and wisdom teeth removal are all handled in-house, and partial or full dentures restore function when teeth are missing.
On the cosmetic side, the options run from subtle to transformative. Professional teeth whitening is available in both in-practice and take-home formats, whether you're preparing for a big event or simply lifting everyday stains. Invisalign® clear aligners, braces and orthodontics straighten smiles discreetly, while crowns, bridges and veneers repair and refine. For missing teeth, dental implants and biocompatible restorative options — including non-metallic materials where appropriate — are tailored to your overall health profile and goals.
Dental pain rarely waits for a convenient moment. The team does its best to see emergency patients promptly, and same-day appointments are often available for cracked teeth, dental injuries and sudden pain. If you're in trouble, calling the practice's emergency line will get you advice on the next steps right away. The team is also ACC-registered, so dental injuries from accidents and sports can be managed with the right support in place.
That same pragmatism carries through to paying for care. The practice believes everyone should have access to quality dentistry, so it offers Afterpay — treatment now, paid across four equal fortnightly instalments with no added interest — alongside Q Mastercard® and Q Card finance options, including interest-free terms on eligible treatments. All major credit cards are accepted, along with EFTPOS and cash.
There's support beyond payment plans, too. The practice is registered with ACC and WINZ, accepts Southern Cross members, and offers SuperGold Card discounts where eligible.
Dental visits can be daunting, and the team here works hard to change that. Experienced dentists, hygienists and support staff collaborate to create a positive, professional experience, using advanced technology and a genuinely caring approach. It's a mindset that has made the practice a trusted choice for the local community — from nervous first-timers to long-time patients who've been coming for years.
The practice is open Monday to Friday, 8:00am to 5:00pm, and closed on weekends, so weekday bookings — including lunchtime slots — are the way to go. Online booking makes it easy to find a time that fits around work, and paid street parking nearby helps if you're driving in. For dental emergencies outside business hours, a dedicated after-hours number is available.
Whether you're due for a routine check-up, weighing up whitening before a wedding, or dealing with a tooth that suddenly won't behave, The Terrace Dental Practice offers expert care and genuine service in the most convenient spot in Wellington.
