About Gentle Dental Centre
At the Gentle Dental Centre, we take cross Infection control very seriously. To ensure the safety of both our patients and staff, the team at GDC strictly adhere to and exceed the standards set by the New Zealand Dental Association and the New Zealand Dental Council.
Every instrument in the practice is sterilised in one of our two autoclaves, both of which undergo a range of daily tests such as “Helix testing, B&D testing, class B steam and pressure tests” to ensure fully functioning and faultless autoclaves and sterilisation equipment.
All test results are then recorded.
We adopt universally safe techniques and specialist products to prepare our surgeries before and after all of our patients. We use disposable wipes, before, during and after each patient ensuring each surface is clean.
Thorough training is given to all team members at GDC, all aspects of decontamination and infection control are covered in a refresher course on a yearly basis to keep our team up to speed on all the latest technology and techniques and current protocols are discussed during our regular in practice meetings.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I am very fussy re dental work coming from Europe. I am used to a first class service. Had a treatment at Gentle Dental Centre Lambton Quay today and I must say: it was excellent in every respect. Adam Benn even stuck to his original quote,although he had more work to do on one tooth.
Highly recommended.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Unnecessary treatment | I don't usually write reviews, but I wish I had seen some sooner before stepping into this place. A friend recommended this place to me as I was looking for a holistic dentist that is experienced with people that have anxiety. To be fair: Yes, they are gentle and explain a lot, BUT, sadly, in my case it was unnecessary treatment they advised. They showed me spots on x-rays and said: "Here you have 3 cavities, you need to act very soon or it will get bad" - (one year ago, at a different dentist, all was well and I was a bit shocked how I could have grown 3 cavities in just 12 months). But I did get a second opinion a week later, it was a dentist in a small practice in a suburb and he said I am completely healthy and no cavities anywhere. I saved myself 1K treatment costs and drilling teeth substance away. If I hadn't gotten the second opinion, I would have never known. And I bet a lot of people who are happy just believe they had cavities and did the right thing. Sadly, this happens with a LOT of dentists, and the health system is to blame... It is well known many dentists are more into profit then their clients health. That is the sad reality, but we can claim our power back and not just get something done because one person believes it is necessary. I do encourage you to stay sceptic and get a second opinion. Checkup here is only 45 dollars, but follow costs are high. The second dentist charged 145 dollars for their checkup which included a cleaning, but no follow ups needed for a whole year. After my visit at Gentle Dental, I saw the 1 star review of Nicky Bell and it made a lot of sense what she wrote. I had similar feeling. It was confirmed. I had wanted a Holistic Dentist, but it had been a really bad experience for me - with all their efforts to make it gentle and funny - that all doesn't help when the work or diagnosis itself isn't correct.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ BEWARE OF ADAM BENN .
After getting a wisdom tooth removed. I had dry socket with exposed jaw bone and nerves . ADAM prescribed antibiotics and to gargle salt water . The pain of gargling salt water with exposed nerves is pure torture. All he had to do was pack it with cloves. After 6 different people from the dental association s and commitmettes which were no help . They suggested get in touch with the gentle dental. Great advice ..... The Gentle dental response was we understand how you feel . So you gargle salt water with your jaw bone and nerves exposed. Absolutely jokers . Im waiting for my second jab . So I dont have to pay crazy prices and be treated like a dog. Adam Benn you are a cowboy .

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ As someone with very bad dental fear (despite my best efforts to overcome it), I can't praise Mike and Gentle Dental enough. It can be really humiliating to be so obviously afraid but they never make you feel badly for it. Really, really professional as well as kind, personable and reassuring. I've had a lot of treatment over the last 10 months which has cost but it has been worth it. The dental work is of excellent quality, looks completely natural and has been done swiftly, with very little pain. The front of office staff are also really, really good. Shout out to Chelsea for her sense of humor and aftercare :) The practice has some excellent payment options which has also made the process much easier. Many thanks :)

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A big thanks to Dr Fionnuala and Christine for making my wisdom teeth extraction as comfortable as possible. I was incredibly nervous and had the jittery shakes as I stepped into the room, and I knew those two wisdom teeth had been bothering me for some time. Dr Fionnuala and Christine were patient, kind, and kept me informed of what they were doing every step of the way. Really great sense of humour too, it's funny being able to give them a wee thumbs up when there's a drill in your mouth!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I never liked the dentist or going for regular checkups. When I got toothache I needed a dentist and so this is how I have become a regular patient of Sam's.
I was a very nervous and scared patient, but Sam listened and is very calming. I have never looked back and have total trust in Sam.
I highly recommend the Gental Dental Centre. I've been going for more than 10 yrs now and have regular checks and hygiene apps.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Visited Gentle Dental to get adult braces and the results are AMAZING.
Dr Mike was very straight forward with the plan, great execution and had a few terrible dad jokes to throw in along the way.
The braces were originally quoted as 18 months, but were all complete by 13 months. SO HAPPY!
Would 10/10 recommend Dr Mike to anyone.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This dental practice has plenty of good dentists, and the receptionists were very nice. My issue is with the practices of Dr Adam Benn. He was a good dentist, no qualm there. However, I signed up for a check-up - for $55. He proceeded to add on a teeth cleaning, without ever confirming to me that this would cost me an additional $192. He even confusingly told me that the flouride he used was not going to be charged.
His response to this when I queried how the bill could possibly be so large without my consent was to point out that I had paid $160 for cleaning the year prior (irrelevant given I was told of the costs ahead of time last time). He also said “did you think I was running a charity service”.
Very condescending- why would the average person have any conception of the how much a dentist appointment should cost unless advised before hand?
What if I was someone who simply could not afford that? Highly inappropriate behaviour.
