Fantastic experience: I have been coming to Maunu Dental after dealing other inadequate dentists. I Met Richard by chance and his professionalism shone. He showed true care and made space to include me in his practice and proceeded to save a tooth that others had said couldn't be saved! It is actually a pleasure to come to the dentist knowing I'm in good hands with integrity. Richard takes pride in his work with understanding. Hygentists are great too, I've learnt so much about my teeth to keep them healthy. Always grateful of Maunu Dental!
Fantastic experience: Great staff and great service, easily recommended.
Fantastic experience: I needed urgent attention on a tooth that was chipped and badly aching. They were able to fit me in that day! Lovely receptionist and i had Jason work on my tooth. Did let him know i was absolutely terrified of the dentist but he made me feel so comfortable and was gentle the whole time. Will definitely be back for regular check ups in the future. Highly recommend!!
Fantastic experience: The best hygiene experience ever! My family and I lived in many countries across the globe, but hands down, the dental hygiene performed by lovely Sara at Maunu Dental was the best experience I've ever had! Sara was gentle and kind. She put me instantly at ease. I had no pain whatsoever, and I left the surgery with a sparkling smile. Looking forward to seeing Dr. Ivy on Monday!
Fantastic experience: Just moved to Maunu Dental and they’re great. I’m a nervous patient and havent seen a dentist in a while and they made the whole experience easy.
Fantastic experience: Our dentist of choice. I had my six monthly hygienist appointment today, a pain free experience.
Fantastic experience: Have been coming to Maunu dental for many years. Extremely professional and no matter what dentist I have had, they have always done their work to a really high standard. Could not recommend this team any higher
Fantastic experience: Reviewing on behalf of hubbie, Maurice. He had a front tooth rebuilt, by Ivy, today. He couldn't speak highly enough of her chair side manner and professionalism. He's very happy with the whole experience and highly recommends Maunu Dental.
Fantastic experience: Great service which started with a warm welcome from the reception team. Parking and toilet were handy as I’d come from out of town. X-ray and consult with Martin was super quick. I’m on my way again with a follow up booking with the hygienist.
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience at Maunu Dental. All of their staff are friendly, professional and experienced. They explain everything clearly and make going to the dentist a comfortable and stress free. Highly recommend for excellent dental care!
Fantastic experience: The staff at Maunu Dental are absolutely phenomenal. I could not recommend a better dental practice to take care of all your dental needs. The dentist made me feel incredibly comfortable and relaxed when cleaning my sensitive teeth. Cheers!
Fantastic experience: Great service, highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: I've been using Manu Dental for a few years now, and never had a better dentist. Always easy, comfortable, quick and painless. Great friendly team, highly recommend.
Negative experience: Totally disgusted with the lack of care from a certain male dentist. Who needs to retrain as he cannot tell if a tooth needs pulling or not. I do not recommend this practice.
Hi Lyn. Sorry to hear of your dissatisfaction. We have 5 dentists working at Maunu Dental, with a range of skills and experience. If you have not had your problem sorted please get back in touch with reception and I can attempt to help. We do try and do our best for our patients. Best regards. Richard Stallworthy.
Fantastic experience: I am very happy and satisfied with the service I receive here. They have excellent communication skills, create dental plans for you moving forward, and have the latest dental technology. I would recommend Maunu Dental to anyone.
Fantastic experience: Fast, friendly and professional staff from the moment we entered. A lovely location and service provided at a reasonable price.
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff, easy to navigate website and my appointment was bang on time. Parking space is at a premium but I didn't mind the short walk to the nearest park I could find.
Fantastic experience: I would like to thank Jason the dentist and all the staff at Maunu dental, Jason you are a magician, I couldn't even smile in public because of the state of my teeth,you have given me back my confidence,my teeth look amazing, thankyou so much,very professional and caring, highly recommend this dental clinic,they are the best
Fantastic experience: This was my first visit to the clinic and it was wonderful! Friendly receptionists, kind dental nurse and highly professional and empathetic Dr Ivy. I will be coming again and I will make sure that the rest of my family joins too! Sonia V.
Fantastic experience: Had my teeth removed and full set dentures fitted. Very happy with the service and my new teeth. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: Jason was amazing. No pain and was very considerate through the whole process. From check up to procedure.
Fantastic experience: I have a really dislike of going to the dentist but the staff here made the visit stress free and where possible pain free. Highly recommend especially if your an anxious patient.
Fantastic experience: Hands down the best dental team you could possibly ask for. Richard I think you set the bar and have developed a team of people who work towards a common goal of offering exceptional service in a profession often feared by many. Ivy’s incredible chair side manner is so calming & reassuring. If you are a highly anxious person like me do not hesitate in trusting this team of people - they will look after you. I have more trust now than I ever thought possible and I believe that trust will continue to grow the more treatments I have. Thankyou Team you really are not just changing smiles but changing experiences too, I couldn’t be more grateful or impressed!
Thank you for you beautifully written review. It means a lot to us, because you have eloquently expressed the exact values we strive for. We will do our utmost to live up to your expectations. Richard
Fantastic experience: Thanks Mark and assistant for friendly and professional service. Much appreciated
Fantastic experience: I had my dental treatments undertaken by Richard. He is very experienced and skillful and I would highly recommend him. Also the team at Maunu is great and very friendly. Thanks guys :)
Fantastic experience: The mention of a dentist made me cringe, past trauma always made me anxious. Had the best experience with Maunu Dental recently (March 2023). Thank you Ivy (Dentist) for being so informative, soothing and understanding, thank you Paige for your support, for offering to hold my hand. Thank you Ari for noticing my anxiousness and reassuring me, thank you Keely for your kindness, reassurance and for trying to find me an appointment that suited me and thank you to the other staff for their smiles :-) All I can remember, is that it was a awesome experience!
Fantastic experience: The entire team are outstanding! My husband and I have visited Maunu road Dental on multiple occasions, not only were they very warm and welcoming, had excellent communication via emails but they also above and beyond to help us get the results we needed and on one occasion we had a very small window of time to work with and this incredible team made it work for us! Can not recommend enough! We are truly grateful. 100% recommend!

Fantastic experience: Overall great experience at Maunu dental! It can take a little while to get through to them on the phone but it’s worth the wait. I saw a dentist called Ivy and she was so lovely. Ivy helped me to understand some of the concerns I had by explaining things and giving me lots of information. I also saw a hygienist (forgot her name) but she was just as lovely as Ivy. She gave me lots of helpful information and made the process of teeth cleaning seem a bit less frightful.
Thanks for the feedback Theresa, i will make sure to pass it on to Ivy and the hygiene team. Best regards Richard .
Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic dental practice. All the staff are so lovely and friendly and Ivy is amazing made the whole experience very easy. I am a very anxious patient and she made my emergency extraction a walk in the park, thank you
Fantastic experience: After phoning Maunu Dental I was met with helpful advice and booked in the same day. I saw Martin that appointment and he was absolutely amazing. The level of professionalism that is pared with a relaxed setting is unrivaled. Each person of the team was helpful and positive. The costing is very competitive, but the workmanship is high-end. Definitely would recommend Maunu Dental to anyone who is seeking dental services. 5/5!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Martin Minne and a lovely young nurse treated my 74 yo mum. It all started during the lockdown. I seek a good dentist in Northland as we had an shocking experience with Lumino. At Maunu Dental my mum has been cherished with respect, patience, friendliness, and care. Dr. Martin is honest, clear and the work he has done can be compared to the European quality as we used to. I am absolutely sold and so does my family and friends. Well done and Thank you.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Richard Stallworthy. Efficient and professional. The procedure was painfree. Will be back.
Fantastic experience: Very good , awesome reception , great team very friendly , informative quick work, I got my first wisdom tooth extracted and the dentist ivy ting was very professional . Thank you very much
Fantastic experience: Finally found a dentist our whole family loves! This is no easy task as each one of us are very different people and have have different dental needs. Richard, who I believe is the owner/manager, is a lovely man and a great dentist. I'm personally about to embark on another set of serious dental work. Quick background, I was born missing 9 permanent teeth. So my baby teeth fell out, and there was nothing to come in. Because of that, I've had extensive dental work over my life. The issue I have with my teeth is a genetic problem. Which causes other things for me. I got my first dental bridge on my bottom lower, front teeth, when I was 19. I've since then, had a lot of other work done, including a full top, front bridge. Which was done in my late 30's, I think 3 of my missing teeth were smack dab in the middle of my smile, hence the bridges. Now I'm having some serious issues with my bite being way off...I suffer from bad migraines, have all my life. Everyone said when I started going through the change that they'd go away. They haven't! If you're a sufferer from migraines then you really know how bad they can be. Nightmare bad. Richard took a good look, with his eyes and with X-rays, and said that my bite is way off. Which could be leading to these migraines... Make sense? So he's made a lovely plan for me to get a new lower bridge and to build up the back teeth so I can chew normally. Things people take for granted, don't take your teeth for granted! You only get one set and in my case I only have 23 adult teeth in my mouth, And I treasure each one! I was so nervous that Richard was going to say, it's time for dentures. Not to say there's anything wrong with them, I'm just feeling way too young for those! I'm an Expat. Kiwis, I know you think your dental costs are very expensive. I used to live here years ago, and was warned by a friend from back then that the dental stuff here cost a fortune! It's really not. I was dropping $4,000usd everytime I took my kid to the dentist back home! That's expensive. Plus, Richard here found plastic that was left in my kids mouth, from the former dentist! I want to thank him for that. This pic is outside the office, it's so pretty back there! The front desk people are all very nice and professional. I highly recommend Maunu Dental!
Fantastic experience: From the moment you walk in, everyone in here make you feel at ease. Sheryl in reception could tell that I was nervous, and she did everything she could to calm me down. Ivy is an excellent dentist and she explained everything to me as we went along. I highly recommend them all
Fantastic experience: Great service, managed to fit my daughter in before New Year. Quick and efficient. Great staff , very welcoming. Thank you
Fantastic experience: I have been coming to Maunu dental since I moved to Whangarei over 10 years ago. The staff are friendly, helpful, welcoming and each are good at what they do without being pushy. I trust them and have absolute confidence in this practice. I don't think you'll find better!
Fantastic experience: My 9yr old son was very nervous and scared after a bad experience with a school dental therapist. Richard Stallworthy was suggested to us and I can not recommend him and his staff enough. He gave us advise, options and most importantly the time that my son and I needed to gain his trust. My son bounced out of the dental clinic yesterday after a long, arduous procedure protesting that "that guy was amazing!" And he really is. Thank you Richard and team.
Fantastic experience: Always great service here, even though going to the dentist or hygienist is never a fun thing to do! Great at giving options for treatment and understanding of any discomfort.
Fantastic experience: I have been a client of Maunu Dental for a long time, for both dental work and hygienist care. Great service from both and I really trust the advice that I'm given. The only dentist I've been to where I've only had positive experiences. Totally recommend.
Fantastic experience: I was recommended to come here from Rachel, the orthodontist at "Your Smile" in Whangarei. I have been to a couple others and am so glad she recommended here. I have seen Emily and Richard and they are both so friendly and Amazing! I get regular cleans with Shereen, (soon to be with Jasmine) and my teeth feel and look great after it. My partner also sees Ivy and she's just as great, (I had to hold his hand the first couple of visits ). Honestly I've never been to a dentist where the whole team are friendly, welcoming and great at what they do. I recommend everyone I know to come here as they're the best in town. I look forward to going to the dentist!
Fantastic experience: Great teeth cleaning here! I love the reminders, and ability to book a year's time for a check up and then relax as I know Maunu Dental will be in touch to remind me. Pai to pukumahi Maunu Dental.
Fantastic experience: Great, amazing kind team
Fantastic experience: I would say Richard is the best dentist i have met..He has given me the best solution for my teeth and is very polite..answers all the questions..he has taken my fear away of going to dentist..anyone who’s looking for good dentist I would highly recommend Dr Richard..
Fantastic experience: I have been a customer for years and it's such a great practice that I warmly recommend! Richard and team has been a one stop shop for all of my needs and my teeth are in better shape than ever.
Fantastic experience: I was referred to Richard by my previous dentist for a procedure on my tooth that I had just spent alot of money on. When he saw it said it could not be saved and had to be removed and suggested a bridge which was not suggested at all my my previous dentist only a very expensive implant. The bridge was much more in my budget and they got me booked in really quick which is not easy in these times. I walked out of there with the bridge fitted this week and could not be happier I have not been this confident smiling in a long time. I only wish I had gone there first. Richard and his assistant were awesome. I will not be going anywhere else!
Fantastic experience: The most amazing, friendly, clean clinic ever!!!…..If u have a fear of the dentist then this is the place to come, the staff are all lovely & the dentists i’ve had have all been absolutely awesome & giving me the best advice & treatment. I have even been known to be so relaxed that I’ve nearly dropped off to sleep as the chair as they are working on my tooth :-)……Totally highly recommend Maunu Dentist
Fantastic experience: Let's be honest, nobody enjoys going to a dentist, however Maunu Dental make the experience such a positive, happy and relaxing one, they ensure your comfort and do everything to ensure that it's not going to hurt as much as you think it will! Always a positive experience from all staff - receptionists, assistants and dentists alike. I'm super happy that my teeth (and myself) are in their very good care.

Fantastic experience: I had an amazing experience at Maunu Dental with Ivy and Michaela. They were very professional and did fantastic work on my teeth I will be back for any further dental work in the future. Would highly recommend.
Positive experience: I have been comming to this surgery on and off over a number of years. My dentist and hygienists have been visiting lately have been gentle and set clear instructions for maintenance and game plan moving forward. I have in the past experienced some niggly issues with regards to past receptionists who were rude when communicating with me or ingeneral not very informative with bookings and times . But as of late I havnt experienced anything uncomfortable.

Fantastic experience: Prompt appointment and great service
Fantastic experience: I too am terrified of dentists and needles as I’ve fainted in the past just having one extraction. Desmond took out 10 of my teeth and put 2 partial plates in straight away with no needles involved. I have nothing but praise for the treatment and care I received from the staff and the follow up call the next day as to my condition. A very unstressful experience. Thank you everyone for your caring and understanding. Would recommend this practice to everyone.
Fantastic experience: I'm absolutely terrified of Dentists...have had all my teeth removed & false ones put in today 5 November & I can't put into words how brilliant these people are. I felt comfortable & they did an awesome job & the teeth look great. Thankyou for the care. The ladies on the desk are lovely. 16 November...last visit & am still over the moon with the work done & am blown away by the way I was treated by everyone that works there. Again...thankyou all so much, appreciated everything.
