Dentalcare West

Excellent staff, very well organised practise. Parking is provided behind the building. I recommend this practise.

Haven't finished yet but thus far have enjoyed going to the dentist! Dr James has been awsome, him and his team are professional, proficient and personable. Always friendly they have been informative and very helpful. I would recommend them to anyone with problems with their teeth :)

I am 68 and my teeth were falling apart. I knew something drastic had to be done. I researched dental surgery costs in Thailand, Russia, Ukraine, Germany and other places as well as New Zealand. I set up a spreadsheet to calculate currency exchange, airfares, hotels, taxis, food, etc. to compare the costs. And although some of the quotations I received were very attractive, how could I factor in the risk. The risk of price increases. I imagined being strapped into the chair with the dentist standing over me with the drilling buzzing ready to drill into my jawbone for an implant while he explained that the cost didn't include anaesthetic. Did I want anaesthetic at extra cost? Or were the ceramic crowns I insisted on actually put in my mouth or replaced with something cheaper? And can you really put the crowns on the implants just a few days after putting in the implants?
With these, and other worrying risks, I still had to take time away from my business if I was going overseas and I couldn't get any certainty about how long I would need. Some told me that I couldn't travel for a few weeks after getting the implants. Some said they could fit crowns and implants at the same time while others said I needed months between getting the implants and getting the crowns placed on the implants. I didn't know for how long I would be away or how many trips would I need to get the job done?
My spreadsheet was by this time a mess of confusion!
I decided I couldn't chance the risks or take the time from my work so I began looking at getting it done in Auckland.
Sure, everyone I approached could do it, but their prices were frightening! And when I looked more closely, many did just the crowns while I went somewhere else for the implant surgery and that was charged separately.
Just as desperation was ready to overcome me, I noticed an advertisement by Dentalcare West challenging anyone thinking of getting work done overseas. I made an appointment and went to meet with Dr Scott Waghorn. I found him to be a very direct, no mucking about sort of guy. He showed instant understanding of my dilemna and gave me pricing for all the work, including the surgery, that was almost as good as the overseas prices, but without the uncertainties or time away from my business.
Now that the work has been completed, I'm so VERY PLEASED that I didn't attempt getting it done overseas because it has taken several weeks.
Scott did all the dental and surgery work. He is fast, sensitive, and expert. He has all the necessary equipment and skills. His business and staff buzz with the culture of professionalism that he has imbued.
I am very pleased to recommend Dentalcare West and Dr Scott Waghorn to my family and friends.

A gratifying experience! Skilled and friendly staff, beautiful atmosphere at an affordable price with easy installments.

Sunny and confortable new building! Doctors are kind and reservations reply really quick! Amazing :)
