A Whangārei dental practice that has offered oral surgery in-house since it began offering the service, with no referral needed. The long-established clinic is on Maunu Road in Woodhill, and the practice has recently opened a second clinic in Kensington, so check which one suits you before booking. The practice says its oral surgeon, Dr Peter Sese, is Northland's only one approved for ACC and Southern Cross-funded treatment, so aftercare can be done locally rather than in Auckland.
The practice offers a full range of treatments, including restorative and cosmetic dentistry, and it sees the whole family from age two. Free basic dental care is available to teenagers from the start of high school until the day before they turn 18. The team says it buys name-brand supplies and passes the savings on, and that its equipment is used to diagnose patients accurately. Visitors have praised the equipment, the advice given, and the friendly reception and dental team. One said the price was lower than in Auckland.
