Real Dentistry: Family Dental Care in the Heart of Kilbirnie

Real Dentistry sits in the heart of Kilbirnie, offering Wellington families a full range of dental care under one roof. From routine hygiene checkups through to restorative treatments and cosmetic dentistry, the practice positions itself around realistically priced, efficient and authentic local dentistry.

A full range of care

The clinic organises its services into four main areas: general dental care, restorative dental care, cosmetic dentistry, and preventative dentistry. General care covers root canal treatment, tooth extraction, wisdom tooth extraction, and dental sedation for patients who need it. On the restorative side, the practice offers dental fillings, crowns, implants, single tooth replacement, dental bridges, implant supported bridges, and full arch fixed bridges for more extensive work.

Cosmetic dentistry at Real Dentistry includes teeth whitening, dentures, and implant supported dentures, giving patients options whether they're looking to brighten their smile or replace missing teeth. Preventative dentistry rounds out the offering with hygiene treatments and dental night guards, aimed at keeping problems from developing in the first place.

Built around the whole family

Real Dentistry describes itself as a family-focused practice, with the team happy to discuss dental concerns and recommend treatment suited to a patient's specific situation and budget during an initial consultation. The options available to patients today, the practice notes, are safer, easier and more effective than ever, including natural, aesthetically pleasing solutions for damaged or broken teeth.

Open six days, including Saturdays

Recognising the demand for appointments outside a standard work week, Real Dentistry is open six days, including Saturdays. Because Saturday slots are in high demand, the practice advises booking those appointments well in advance.

When things go wrong

For patients dealing with severe dental pain, facial swelling, a broken tooth, or damage from an accident, Real Dentistry offers emergency dental appointments — patients experiencing these issues are encouraged to call the clinic immediately. The practice also assists with ACC-related dental claims and WINZ quotes for patients who may be eligible for support with the cost of care.

Making treatment accessible

Real Dentistry backs up its focus on realistic pricing with a range of payment options, working with Afterpay, Q-card, Genoapay, and Gem Visa so patients have flexibility in how they pay for treatment. This flexibility has been highlighted by patients themselves, several of whom specifically mention the availability of payment plans like Afterpay as a reason for choosing the practice.
