Pukekohe Dental: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Richard and his amazing team are so good! I have had multiple procedures completed and all work was done to a very high standard in a caring, professional way.
Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Pukekohe Dental for decades and have always received exceptional care. My dentist, Richard, is not only personable but also incredibly thorough and professional in his work — I always feel like I’m in the best hands. Today I saw their new hygienist Jasleen for the first time, and it was honestly the best experience I’ve had with a hygienist. She was efficient, gentle, and very caring. I left feeling relaxed, and my teeth have never felt better. Highly recommend the whole team!
Negative experience: My Partner attended this dental practice a year-or-two ago, and we still haven't recovered from the financial shock; their pricing was eye-wateringly expensive. They don't have published prices; rather, they make them up on-the-spot based upon their assessment of how much money they can extract from you; in my Partner's case, we suspect, based upon their prominent surname. The receptionist could be heard on the phone turning away people attempting to make appointments for children, obviously because the Government subsidy system doesn't make it profitable enough for them compared to how much they can extract from adult clients. It's fundamentally sad when a dentist's commitment to the profession simply becomes driven by nothing but money. Didn't think much of Richard Eilenberg's bedside manner in general, either.
Fantastic experience: Pukekohe Dental do an awesome job. I have been coming regularly for a few years and they really make you feel comfortable. Had an excellent clean from Jasleen today, highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Just had an amazing teeth clean by the lovely Jas and her assistant Mary. Such fantastic and caring ladies. Would highly recommend Pukekohe Dental to anyone, especially those that are nervous with any dental work.
Fantastic experience: Richard and the Team were able to fit me in at very short notice yesterday due to being in extreme pain. I could not fault them, they were absolutely wonderful. So kind and friendly, made me feel really at ease and the process was so seamless with absolutely no pain during the extraction of a tooth at all. I’ve had bad dental experiences in the past so Thankyou so much for such a good dental experience. I will continue to use Richard and the team for all my dental work. Thankyou again !! I really do appreciate your help and kindness.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic service new crown and fitted me in as soon as a space became available. An hour and a half later out with new tooth. Pain free and amazing technology enabling a awesome experience
Fantastic experience: I had a tooth restored and capped today by the team. I'm an agitated / nervous patient, at best, at the dentist. The professionalism and painless execution of the procedure was world class. I can not recommend this practice highly enough. World. Class. :)
Fantastic experience: I had 3 snapped teeth and opted to get 4 crowns replaced. I was recommended to go see Richard and couldn’t be happier with the results. Very professional and had them all done within the day!
Fantastic experience: Richard is an artist! He rebuilt a broken tooth and you can't tell it was broken. No pain, best dentist I have been to ever.. I recommend Pukekohe dental 100%
Fantastic experience: I had a root canal today at Pukekohe Dental and was so afraid of having it. But when I went to my appointment everyone was so helpful in easing my fears. The dentist and assistant did a great job and overall the root canal ended up painfree which was such a relief! I am so thankful I found Pukekohe Dental and highly recommend them. Thank you Pukekohe Dental.
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Pukekohe Dental. The staff are wonderful & the service is excellent. Richard made me feel really at ease & did an amazing job fixing my smile.
Fantastic experience: I had the best dental experience of my life At Pukekohe Dental. Anke Dippenaar made sure I had a 100% painfree experience. She checked consistently. The dentists performed their work with great skill, care and gave straight answers about my future dental work. I appreciated that. I was and still is so impressed. They were also on time an imporant aspect for me. I’ve already recommended the practice to my friends.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend Pukekohe Dental. I was clenching my jaw in my sleep and Puke dental recommended I have botox done to relax the muscles, I've had it done with them a few times now and the relief is immediate and lasts for months. So grateful for their expertise and professionalism, and such a friendly and helpful team!
Fantastic experience: I went to pukekohe dentist two days ago like to thank Sophie li the dentist and her assistant Natasha done a great job getting a bad tooth out went there with some pain came out with no pain very professional with the odd laugh thankyou
Fantastic experience: Having tried many dentist over the years, I have finally found the right one. Pukekohe Dental do a fantastic job both on and off the chair. Such lovely staff so welcoming and professional
Fantastic experience: We have been going to Pukekohe Dental in the last 5 years. Very professional and friendly. Teresa is great in booking us in and we get reminders ahead of time so we don’t miss our appointments. Sophie is very good, as well as the other dentists, hygienists and dental assistants. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: I recently visited Pukekohe Dental for a routine teeth cleaning, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. The staff were incredibly welcoming and made me feel comfortable from the moment I walked in. The hygienist did an excellent job on my teeth cleaning, ensuring every detail was attended to with care and precision. My teeth feel cleaner and healthier than ever! The dentist provided clear guidance on my next steps for maintaining my oral health, recommending regular check-ups and proper dental hygiene practices. I'm looking forward to my next visit and continuing my dental care journey with Pukekohe Dental. Highly recommended!
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Pukekohe Dental. The customer service is that of real high standard. From the moment you enter the business you're greeted by the lovely receptionist Theresa. If only more businesses had the warm welcome that Theresa gives to each person she greets. As dreadful as the thought of taking a trip to the dentist can be, I am so glad for choosing this clinic for my treatment. Dr Sophie Li is hands down the nicest and most comforting dentist I've ever met. She has a beautiful soft nature and is so transparent with what's required for your treatment. Her approach and way with making you feel at ease is absolutely amazing. Her lovely assistant Holly just added to a great overall dental experience. Thank you so much Sophie for your kindness and honesty. On top of being so lovely, the dental work I received from you was 100% perfectly done. I cannot recommend you enough. So grateful to you and Holly for giving me a great dental experience.
Fantastic experience: Lovely experience from all the friendly staff, super professional I highly recommend
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend pukekohe dental, they are professional, friendly and will do the job right the first time. It feels like a spa treatment but for teeth everytime I go :) thank you!
Fantastic experience: Great care taken with all aspects of family dental care. Highly recommended. Detailed, professional service and caring staff. I have also taken my 12 yr old twins here-both liked the experience (instead of the usual fear and anxiety response). One asked when she could go back! A dental experience to actually enjoy. Thank you :-)
Fantastic experience: I was very happy with the follow up check after my procedures. I am feeling great and I really appreciate the expertise that Leslea and her team bring to the dental chair. My wife was right when she did say I should come along to experience dental care excellence at a different level with Richard and Leslea and the wonderful team. Like a good supportive husband I went along and yes I was impressed. Very impressed and happy new patient with a service which far exceeded my expectations. Thanks to all!
Fantastic experience: Didn’t go to the dentist for 5 years so was a little worried what the outcome would be. Had some pain in my gums so called up and they were able to fit me in within the next couple days. Got a thorough clean from an amazing and comforting hygienist. The pain went away after this. I then came back for a dentist appointment with Sophie to get glue that my old dentist didn’t fully remove after getting my braces off 5 years prior and sadly a filling. She did an amazing job getting it all off and the filling was as painless as a filling can be and efficient. So stoked I chose Pukekohe Dental out of all the ones in the area. The staff make you feel so comfortable and are friendly and very good at what they do. Highly highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Richard did an amazing job of repairing and renovating my front teeth. I was thoroughly surprised and delighted with his expertise. I cannot recommend him highly enough!
Fantastic experience: I have had an issue related to attending the dentist regularly due to past experience. It’s always very hard when you are new to town and there are so many to choose from. So I did a quick review of the local dentist and found the reviews for Pukekohe dental and felt that perhaps they may be able to Accommodate my care. I have have had 2 appointments with Richard and Leslea. Their service is first class. Attentive, knowledgeable, professional and outstanding at their craft. Thoughtful and clear with full discussion around management and options with different budget options. Hygienist kind and painless Instead of being nervous about my next appointment I feel reassured, calm and very happy to recommend to others who have had similar feelings. Thanks to all the staff from reception to the clinicians
Fantastic experience: I had a great first experience recently at Pukekohe Dental due to an issue at my previous dentist. I saw Leslea and Sophie and they were so kind and gentle making my experience a very positive one. I will be making Pukekohe Dental my new dentist for all hygiene and dental needs. Highly recommend this Dental Practice.
Fantastic experience: Very impressed with the care at Pukekohe Dental. Richard and Jade were gentle and made sure I was comfortable from start to finish and they did an incredible job with my crown. Leslea and Sophie are so accommodating and they were very helpful with my health insurance claim, thank you ladies! Exceeding expectations every time I go, I highly recommend this clinic.
Fantastic experience: Had a great experience here with Pukekohe Dental and their team (had not seen a dentist in too many years to say) after having some pain Sunday night I was able to make an appointment with Richard on the Monday for some relief followed by the first stage of a root canal procedure done shortly after by Dr Saskia Saetrum and Shareen. No pain or discomfort at all throughout, and the most calming voices from these two I could have listened to them work away all day. Much Appreciated.
Fantastic experience: Professional , helpful and kind.
Thanks Richard. We are so glad we could help you and provide gentle and pain free dentistry.
Fantastic experience: All of the staff at Pukekohe Dental are excellent. From initial consultation, through treatment and my hygienist appointment, I had a fantastic experience and would recommend them highly to anyone. All of the services are done to the highest standard, and with extra care. I felt nervous coming in for my first appointment due to the cost of most dental care and nerves around the treatments themselves. The team listened to me and immediately put me at ease. The treatments themselves were quick, painless and done to a great standard. On top to that, the prices were fair and better than I’d expected. I am based in Central Auckland but the drive is well worth it for anyone considering. Thanks to the team for your great work.
Fantastic experience: Who likes going to the dentist? Not me! Well that was before I meet Richard and Jade. Professional, kind and understanding. Fabulous job, my teeth look fabulous. Thank you so much
Thankyou for your kind words Toni. It was pleasure to look after you and achieve the “smile of your dreams”. Best wishes, Richard
Fantastic experience: I have just had my vaneers done by Richard Eilenberg and it’s absolutely the best investment you can make. Richard is highly certified, truly professional and committed to the utmost perfect outcome. Thank you Pukekohe Dental for the first class customer service. AAA+++
Thankyou Sharon, it was a pleasure to look after you.
Fantastic experience: Baylie was amazing- professional, friendly and thorough, everything you could ask for. Her and Sophie made sure i was at ease and comfortable during the procedure. (Sophie even gave me a wee stress corgi to squeeze, how sweet). There was absolutely no discomfort, in fact it was super relaxing and.... My teeth look fantastic. What a difference! Pearly whites! Would definitely recommend
Fantastic experience: I chipped a crown on xmas day and contacted these guys the next day to see if they could see me. Leslea got back to me quickly, organised an appointment with Richard on their day off. Richard was so impressive, I had a brand new crown in a couple of hours and he talked me through the whole process. We live on the shore but now I am going to travel to Pukekohe to see him! Couldn’t recommend this place enough!
Hi Fara, it was a pleasure to look after you and we are happy you had a good experience. Happy New Year. Richard and Leslea
Fantastic experience: Dec '22 Had some more work done with Dr Saetrum and again such professional and excellent work! She/They're always happy to discuss options and best way forward. After the work they do everything settles down so quickly and I have never had teeth feel so good and smooth. Top!! Oct '22 Exemplary care... it was Sunday night and I was in extreme pain for hours and got only two hours sleep. Set alarm for 9am so I could be reminded to ring around to try and get an appointment in Pukekohe. The second call I made was to Pukekohe Dental and was met with friendly, helpful staff who slotted me in at short notice (first Wow!). Dr Saskia Saetrum took care of my root canal without pain at all. Even when I started to feel uncomfortable she managed it with numbing agent and reassurance. It was not an easy job but it was taken care of efficiently and professionally from start to finish (second Wow!). What a great team of friendly, helpful, caring, skilled pro-people. Awesome!!
Fantastic experience: Been coming here for as long as I remember! Very knowledgeable and good at what they do!! 100% recommend!
Fantastic experience: Myself and my 5 year daughter have been seeing Bailey and are so happy with her service. Bailey is so gentle and makes the visit for my daughter so much fun that she is always happy to go back! Thank you Bailey - you are a star!

Fantastic experience: Bailey was so fabulous with my kids, makes it so much fun they can't wait to come back! She takes the time to explain and check in with them and it is a great experience for the kids
Fantastic experience: Richard has done an amazing job fixing my teeth after my health issues ruined them. Not only are they fixed they look better than ever. Super staff, great tech means job was done on site in 1 day, fantastic value. Highly recommend to anybody needing any dental work.
Fantastic experience: Cannot thank Pukekohe Dental enough for there wonderful service . As I hadn't been to Dentist for many years due to bad experiences my teeth were not the best at all . I had wanted to get them fixed for some time and one bad toothache I had to do something. From time I rang and every appointment I had my experience was amazing. Thanks to Richard and his assistant I will b a new woman and to b able to smile again without hiding my teeth which is something I have wanted for some time. Thank you all. Diane.Had my final appointment today and got my plate fitted. It looks amazing and I now can smile without covering up. Thanks once again to the team.would recommend Pukekohe Dental to anyone. You have changed my life I feel amazing. Many thanks to you all. .
Fantastic experience: Excellent staff and tidy, modern practice. The team is extremely friendly and professional, from reception, to dental hygienist, dentist and assistants. I was made to feel very comfortable and my questions and concerns were acknowledged. Check up exams and cleans are very thorough, and the staff explain everything they are doing as they go along. Pukekohe Dental exceeded all my expectations.
Fantastic experience: I am a nervous dental patient (I have had a tooth pulled in the past instead of having root canal work). Richard is great and with IV sedation 2 1/2 hours in the chair went very fast. I even went to sleep! It seemed like about 20 minutes. I opted for one long session rather than having to go back. Totally recommend Pukekohe Dental - lovely staff and a very calm and reassuring atmosphere.
Fantastic experience: I had my veneers done here by Richard and he absolutely nailed it! Everything i wanted and more. If you’re thinking about getting them, I 100% recommend going here! Life changing.
Fantastic experience: My initial experience was 3 but after today's consultation I have changed my review as the dentist took the time to go over my needs and actually came up with a better solution than the first. Thanks for that
Fantastic experience: They are the very best at everything they do, latest equipment, nothing like the dark days. I have the smile that I've always wanted. Highly recommend them.
Fantastic experience: Regular customer of Pukekohe Dental - couldn't recommend them enough! I was originally looking into caps or veneers to brighten my smile but instead they recommended a more cosmetic solution (form of acid wash) that cleared the discoloration and brown surface staining on my front teeth. So happy with the results and the treatment was painless, quick and affordable!
Fantastic experience: The best place to go in Pukekohe for dentistry
Fantastic experience: Richard and Leslea are so lovely. I've never had better attention or care paid to my teeth, ever. Will always keep coming back here!
Fantastic experience: Couldn’t rave more highly about the exceptional customer service and high quality of work at Pukekohe Dental. The staff there are so lovely and take the time to really connect and get to know you, while preforming the latest techniques and technology in dentistry. I used to hate going to the dentist as it always hurt, but it has never once hurt here, as they are so gentle. Would highly recommend!!
Negative experience: Dispointed with my last app, it was afternoon service on friday, I need to wait for more that 30mnt, not only that they said my teeth are bad although I just went 2 months ago and just had 3 times app to clean my teet which is 2 months ago I already spend more than $400, if my teeth bad why they clean it really fast on that day compare than before, and they ask me to come again in the next 2month
Fantastic experience: Quality dentistry, crowns done and dusted in 2 hours.
Fantastic experience: Nice team ,good servcie,will back for the regular check.
Fantastic experience: Thank you for awesome service the staff are exceptional!!!
Fantastic experience: Great service, friendly staff!
Fantastic experience: Had all my dental done here, And will continue. See you guys in six months.
Fantastic experience: I'm grateful my friend recommended Pukekohe Dental to me. I had my first appointment with Richard (the dentist) and the dental hygienist last week. What a fantastic service! All staff were friendly and helpful and did a great job. I appreciated Richard's and the hygienist's explaination of what was going on with my teeth and my treatment options. I'm back again this week and will be transferring my family to this wonderful service.
Fantastic experience: Great bunch of people and nice clean atmosphere, fully recommend!
Fantastic experience: Great service. Excellent people to deal with. 5 stars
Fantastic experience: I don't usually go to the dentist as I'm pretty lazy when it comes to my teeth but when i do I worry about the sort of treatment I will receive until I found this place. First time I walked in I was greeted with a warm welcome followed by a quiet waiting room which is a plus. First dentist I saw was good in finding all the problem as part of my check up and explaining the reason for having a jaw scan which alot of places I've been to don't have that specific equipment. Second appointment I had was with Sophie which has been by far the best dentist I've had being gentle even for the most difficult tooth, didn't feel any pain whatsoever everything was explained in detail even got some photos taken of the work once it was complete which I found was a bonus. Also they ring a few days afterwards to find out if everything is going good with the repairs which is another great bonus. Excellent dentists, dental assisants, reception staff and high tech equipment. What more could you ask for?!
Positive experience: Good, friendly service from experienced professionals. Makes a visit to the dentist less daunting :-)
Fantastic experience: We have experienced professional and high quality dental treatment from Richard and his team over a number of years now. The clinic uses the most modern technologies which for us have meant a one visit trip for crowns, rather than one trip for crown preparation then another for insertion of a crown manufactured by a dental technician.
Fantastic experience: always a pleasure to attend an appoointment. friendly staff, expert dentists, everything is fully explained and the whole procedure quite painless. Their expertise and knowledge filled me with confidence. I would happily recomend them to friends and family
Positive experience: Excellent dental practice, the perfect combo of friendly and professional. Reception staff were efficient and helpful, (and very understanding of my two young children in the waiting room) the dentist I saw, Sophie was knowledgable and explained everything, the only thing that took away from the experience was the dirty dishes in the sink while I had my X-ray done. Thanks Pukekohe Dental!
Fantastic experience: I am a big giant chicken when it comes to the dentist, but Richard is very good in dealing with me and making it as comfortable as possible. So I keep going back. Great service, staff are always really lovely.
Fantastic experience: Normally I don't like going to the dentist (like most people) but the team here are great and make it an enjoyable experience. Friendly staff, professional set up, reasonable prices and do an excellent job. Highly recommended.
Fantastic experience: Pukekohe dental took care of me with great gentle attention. I now see the hygienist and dentist regularly with comfort knowing I'm in good hands, I would not go anywhere else due to having fantastic experiences with every visit. I could not thank them enough!
Fantastic experience: The staff are very kind and welcoming. I felt like I was well taken care of and I like the fact that I was given a variety of options with regards to dental treatment was great. Will definitely be recommending Pukekohe dental others :)
