Tawa Dental Care: Reviews
Fantastic experience: My family and I have been going to Tawa Dental Care for over 20 years. My children began appointments from the age of 5 years. Having had terrible experiences with the School Dental Care Service when I was a child I have always felt very reassured at Tawa Dental Care. The service is exceptional. Colin is a very knowledgable Dentist. He has able to save an exsisting crown when a problem with a root appeared, saving me money. Colin takes a preventive approach with your dental care, which has saved our family money. All the staff are friendly and professional in thier work. I highly reccomend Tawa Dental Care.
Thank you for your wonderful review Kim and for trusting us with your family’s dental care for over 20 years. We're so glad to hear that Colin and the team have made you feel reassured and supported. It means a lot to know our preventive approach has made a positive impact. We truly appreciate your kind words and recommendation! From the Tawa Dental Care Team
Fantastic experience: The staff are wonderful! They were very understanding and accommodating to my schedule and did their best to squeeze me in short notice. I really appreciated that. During my appointment, Dr.Wei was friendly and very thorough. She helped me better understand my dental needs and wasn’t pushy with other services. The dental appointment itself wasn’t too uncomfortable (cleanings are always uncomfortable for me) but she was understanding and did her best to make it more comfortable for me. Overall, this is a great clinic to go to with friendly staff that provide excellent service.
Thank you so much for your kind review Mei! We're really glad we could fit you in on short notice and that your visit went smoothly. Dr. Wei will be happy to hear your feedback, she always aims to make patients feel comfortable and informed! We know cleanings aren’t the most fun, so we appreciate you trusting us with your care. Looking forward to seeing you again. From the Tawa Dental Care Team

Fantastic experience: Excellent at all levels
Hi Suzi, thanks for your 5 star rating, awesome! Vanessa
Fantastic experience: I always dislike and avoid as much as I can going to a dentist given my past bad experiences. However my recent visit to Tawa dental care proved to be exceptionally pleasant! I find that the services were very attentive, thoughtful and flexible. I needed to fix a chipped molar urgently but unfortunately I was down with a COVID. As soon as I was out of isolation, I desperately needed to get an appointment but to find out that the next available appointment was one week plus away. Wei-Yan was extremely nice to fit me into an appointment the next day by sacrificing her lunch hr break! She was also very gentle, pleasant to chat with (to calm down my nerves) and informative. She made it to the point to explain thoroughly what she was doing before she put anything into my mouth! :) I swear they have the best front desk service. Vanessa knew I was working on the appointment day. She gave me a phone call to give me a heads up that Wei Yan was behind schedule so that I did not have to take too much time off work for the appointment. That speaks a lot about their genuine care for their patients. I felt that I was overall very well taken care of all throughout my experience with them. Highly recommended to everyone!
Lovely to hear that you had a great experience Zaai-Yee. Our team strive for excellence. Kind regards, Vanessa
Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Tawa dental Care! The staff have a professional and gentle manner that instantly puts you at ease. Highly skilled and experienced dentists who take great care with their work.
Your positive feedback and recommendation is much appreciated Julia! Thanks, Vanessa
Fantastic experience: I was very impressed with the service & treatment offered me at Tawa Dental. Wei - Yan was very thorough as well as gentle in her dental hygiene treatment. The DA too, was very reassuring & efficient . I would definitely recommend Tawa Dental to anyone needing dental care.
Hello Peng, it's great to hear that you were impressed by Wei-Yan and team. We strive to provide outstanding care and welcome new patients. Kind regards, Vanessa
Positive experience: Absolutely fantastic care. Colin does a fantastic job explaining everything and he is very thorough. 1 star off for cost as things are definitely on the expensive side. Examination with x-ray and hygiene treatment were each about 2x the Wellington median price according to https://www.consumer.org.nz/articles/dentist-fees
Thanks for your positive review Matt. Our dental team strive to provide a high level of quality and outstanding care. Your positive feedback is much appreciated! Vanessa (Practice Manager)

Fantastic experience: Vanessa and Wei-Yan are absolutely fantastic, they bent over backwards to fit my 7 year old son in for two emergency appointments after he suffered an injury that chipped three of his teeth. Wei-Yan was excellent at making sure my son felt at ease, and at explaining what needed to be done and showing him the x-rays. Highly recommend - the team are empathetic and so caring, thank you.
Hi Alex, Many thanks for your lovely comments on your review. It was a pleasure to be of service to your Son. Warm regards, Vanessa(tawa dental care).
Fantastic experience: I'm an extremely anxious dental patient, however the team at Tawa Dental Care were all so lovely and kind, they instantly put me at ease. Colin explained everything thoroughly, so I knew exactly what was needed, and for the first time in my life I didn't feel a thing while having my teeth drilled for fillings!! I am so happy that I decided to go to them, and I can't recommend them highly enough!!!
We are pleased to hear that our team were able to provide you with a good experience Charlotte. Much appreciated, Vanessa (Tawa Dental Care)
Positive experience: The service isn't as good as Bayside dentist in Auckland. Their hygienist did a really good job, she cleans so thoroughly and carefully. However, she pushed too hard. I'm not very used to it. I'll try another one in Auckland one day.
Thanks for your valuable feedback Sophilia. Our hygienist has a great reputation for providing a thorough job with care which is best for the health of gums. Apologies that you found she pushed too hard. Our mission is to provide the best service. Much appreciated, Vanessa (Practice Manager)
Fantastic experience: Very nice dental care had a real sore tooth at Christmas time and was going on holiday mid January all other dentist where too busy. Left a message on tawa dental care website early January. They ring me back within a couple of days and said they could fit me in as they had opened up for urgent dental care Colin asset the problem one day and did temp repair so I could have a nice holiday which I did thanks to Colin and staff I will be coming back as been trying to find a good dentist and Colin is great. AAA+
Hi Aaron, It's great to hear that you had a wonderful experience at Tawa Dental Care and a holiday free from toothache with Kath! Kind regards, Vanessa (Practice Manager)
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Colin. He was able to quickly and effortlessly repair my chipped tooth, and it feels great now.
Thank you for your lovely feedback Dora. Our dentists are very passionate with providing high quality care to our patients.
Negative experience: Very very bad experience in here, 5months ago just stick a crown spend 300 dollar more only use it for 5month, after 5month falling out they are no guarantee for it and very expensive price lower quality glue. My family and I won’t be there again. I asked many dental clinics they are guarantee 1 years only need 107 dollars this is not about how many times fallen off. It is about your dentist professional skill and materials quality. I think all the patients want to same price same quality!!!
Hi Wilson, I am sorry to hear that your crown has fallen off again. From time to time we get patients seeing us with crowns made elsewhere and they are causing problems (like continually falling off). We usually assess the situation and advise patients accordingly. Sometimes we have to advise patients that we can try recementing the crown but we can't guarantee it as he original crown really needs to be remade. Our aim is to try to make our patients happy so if you wish, I can get Colin (our most senior dentist who you haven't seen) to take a look at it. He will be back from leave mid next week. Call me next week if you would like this done...Kind Regards Vanessa (Tawa Dental Care)
