Singleton Dental is a prevention-focused dental practice at 338 Karori Road in Karori, Wellington. The practice says prevention is better than cure, and its checkups include a hygiene clean in the same appointment. Digital x-rays are used for check-ups, orthodontic planning and wisdom teeth assessment. The practice's restorative work covers fillings, crowns, bridges, root canal treatment, which the site says takes two to three visits, and implants. It does simple and surgical extractions, including some wisdom teeth, and some surgical implant placement. It is an ACC provider and works with ACC when teeth are damaged in an accident. For toothache, a broken filling or a longer appointment, the site asks patients to phone or email reception so the right appointment length can be booked. Online booking is on a separate site.
The practice works with the school dental service, and it has an Oral Health Services Agreement with the Ministry of Health for free treatment for secondary school pupils from year 9 until they turn 18. The treatment excludes orthodontics. Children can also be treated as private patients.
