Garden City Dental

Had an appt yesterday with Elena Lazarus, to reglue a crown that came out on Boxing Day. Consult, treatment, X Ray, notes for my dentist, along with friendly staff, cost $100. Very reasonable for a very busy practice working 24/7. Receptionist was very welcoming. 5 Stars!

I have had absolutely fantastic treatment and care from Ben Taylor and his assistant on removing difficult wisdom teeth today and a couple of years ago. Prior to a tooth removal, I actually enjoyed the experience of the descale and filling I had today. My experience with the reception staff has also been positive in all communication with them on both the phone and in person. It can take some time to get an appointment, which is not surprising in the health sector currently, but they are worth the wait. Thanks for your wonderful care team. :0D

I don't usually leave reviews, but in this case I have to. After an accident my friend recommended Garden City Dental, as she had previously been in a similar situation to me and had a positive experience with them. The team at Garden City Dental have been great to deal with. They handled all the ACC admin and paperwork on my behalf. Ben is fantastic, he made me feel very at ease and talked me through exactly what he was doing and happily answered my many questions along the way. Reception/Administration staff were also very helpful & easy to deal with.

Best dental practice iv been too, so kind, caring and not overpriced! Took me in for an emergency last minute late night appointment and was seen by Rafaela who went above and beyond for me and made me feel extremely comfortable! I will be back!

To say thanks, same day appointment, but what has stood out is how kind, caring and compassionate receptionist was. There are a few unkind reviews about her but she was amazing on the day, and i rang back day 3 as swollen still, she explained about the wound and took time to reassure me its to be expected as well as to let me know they open over Easter.

I've got a wisdom giving me troubles and am in the process of getting it out with Garden City Dental. Had a couple of fillings done in the meantime. Amazing staff and prices and have had positive experiences with both the dental and reception side. Kindness all round, so happy I went with them :)

First visit to a dentist in Christchurch from Australia and have balked at the $280 price tag for a filling. It was also a small filling as per the dentist. I was uneasy the whole time, my dentist was not very personable and did not help me feel comfortable. I have no issues with going to the dentist and recent work in Melbourne done included several fillings and a wisdom tooth extraction which gave me no problems. I left this clinic shaking and crying. I required two lots of extra numbing as I could feel the drilling, this could be due to my tooth or the placement of the numbing injection but this has never happened to me before. My entire side of the face was numb including my eye ball and towards the end of the filling I was shaking and had gone very quite. Neither the dentist nor the assistant noticed and when finished just ushered me out the door as we had gone over time trying to remove a lip in the filing that had just been completed. The receptionist asked if I was ok but attempted no follow up or even looked me in the eye. I got to the car and cried. Now 4 hours later am starting to have the anaesthetic wear off more and have pain in my jaw and significant discomfort opening my mouth. I emailed the practice this morning but have not received a response. I should have read some of these reviews before attending!

Rafaela Luque-amazing dentist! She got my very painful tooth fixed, I also had a hygiene clean done with her. She checked my teeth and took her time to talk to me about teeth whitening options and her recommendations. Such a sweet soul, I’ve really enjoyed dealing with her! So lovely and caring, Thanks Rafaela!

Friendly reception and dentist, reasonable pricing, open 8am till 10 pm weekdays/8.30am till 5 pm weekends which is handy opening hours, offer after pay and finance...only negative is that I Had to wait just over half an hour to be seen for my 5.30pm appointment! but in saying that, I was notified of this immediately which is far better than most late appointments of which don't give you an idea till you ask so props for that.

4 stars for the dental treatment I've received and for Kathryn, who is a gentle and fantastic hygienist - would highly recommend. I took away 1 star for the slightly cold customer service I've received at times in reception, both over the phone and in person. Other than that, I've had a pretty good overall experience with GCD. Thank you.
