Fantastic experience: I had a scale and clean done today, and what a pleasure! Chelsea is very gentle, caring, and not intrusive. I liked that she explained what she was doing and I felt very well looked after. I had a fantastic experience, from the front desk to the treatment provider - thank you one and all.

Fantastic experience: I really enjoyed my experience. Staff were lovely, dentist was so kind and helped me to feel comfortable. I can't recall a time that I've had a positive experience at a dentist. The whole ordeal is very hard for me and I avoid dentist appointments because I have such strong feelings of dislike and fear around dentists. Usually I cry because it can be so overwhelming for me and I didn't get that today which says alot about the care and treatment that everyone put in. Even reception was super helpful, welcoming and friendly. Thankyou for this positive experience, I will be back for future dental needs.

Jed Hana 9 months ago

Fantastic experience: I required a complex Wisdom tooth removal which my prior dentist referred me to Auckland as it was ‘out of his expertise’ As I didn’t want to drive 2.5 hours both ways, I was hoping to find a local dentist/surgeon to complete the procedure. Dr Arnon Sharp was confidant in his ability to complete the complex extraction and I am very happy with the service provided.

Wishing you a smooth recovery and thank you again for trusting us with your dental care!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely amazing, I have bad anxiety and arnon make sure I was calm and comfortable before he even started. he got my badly infected wisdom tooth out with no issues. The next day they gave me a call to make sure I was okay and everything was healing up fine. Now, that's a dentist that truly cares about their patients and isn't just in it for the money! I 100% recommend Kensington dental.

Hi Sandra. Thank you for your review - however, according to our database, we have not seen a patient with your name at our practice recently. Whilst we know that visits to a dentist can be expensive, we strive to provide the utmost of pain-free, personalised and quality care for our patients, using only the best materials and equipment, which are mostly imported from overseas. All our practitioners take time to make your appointment as comfortable as possible and all these factors contribute to our fee structure. We would love to welcome you in so you can experience for yourself the exceptional dental care at Kensington Dental.

Bob Feigel 1 year ago

Fantastic experience: It's said than nobody looks forward to going to the dentist. And that's probably true. But going to our dentist is always a pleasure because my wife and I always get a warm welcome. Our dentist, Johan Hugo, makes even complex issues simple because he explains everything clearly and makes sure we are comfortable and pain free throughout whatever needs to be done. And, that's not always been the case in the past with some dentists. We came to Kensignton Dental after our equally wonderful previous dentist retired. So we consider ourselves to be very fortunate. We've also been fortunate with dental emergencies when Johan wasn't available and we were taken care of by other dentists in the practice with the same high standard. So while going to the dentist isn't on the top of my wish list, the care and expertise of Kensignton Dental certainly puts it on the top of my Dental care list. Our thanks to everyone from the front desk to the surgery.

Sheena May 3 years ago

Fantastic experience: I absolutely reccomend these dentists and hygenist... And the service at the desk was kind and freindly also thank you! However I really think the LOUD MUSIC is very difficult to cope with when you are already nervous and have instruments in your mouth..I love the music but not that loud in the dentist chair however if it has to be loud maybe something gentle not like a nightclub pop sound so that its relaxing Maybe others feel differently sorry not meant to say this to offend just a kind suggestion?
