Noble Dental Specialists Takapuna

I had dental implant surgery last month and the result was amazing. Some people will feel scared and ambivalent when they hear dental implant, but after consultation with Dr. Richard, hearing the very thorough explanation about the procedure and receiving very informative answers to all my questions, I felt very reassured and I know that I am in good hands, all my anxiety just disappeared.The overall experience was great. The skills that Dr Richard and nursing assistants possess were tremendously good, painless local anaesthesia, he made sure that I am comfortable and relaxed all throughout the surgery. The recovery was also great, I was actually able to went back to work straight after the surgery. Exceptional staff and incredible team work! Highly recommended!

I had a post implant which went really well, no pain or swelling and super quick to heal. Rick and his team are really friendly and quick to put you at ease. I would definitely go back to them if I needed to and would be happy to recommend them to anyone.

I had been religiously visiting my dentist and hygienist for a number of years until one day it was advised I would need to have gum surgery in order to prevent tooth loss. After further discussion I was given the option to visit Richard and his periodontal specialists. That was over three years ago. The treatment program was amazing starting with the most advanced equipment and expertise and progressing to the maintenance teams located at both Greenlane & now Takapuna. For Gum disease issues you really need professional help and for me that has made a huge difference. My first visit back to my dentist was yesterday after 3 1/2 years, he too was impressed with my overall oral health condition. Thanks to everyone in the team and thank you Eugenie for such a gentle, 'maybe' even relaxing visit !

Very happy with my crown lengthening done by Dr Richard. I've been to so many dentists and by far he's the best. The entire surgery he made me feel comfortable, and was cracking jokes. Thank you to the team at Nobel Takapuna. They're such lovely people and great professionals. Thank you Sue, Mai, Maya and Dr Richard and everyone who has helped me. God bless.

I had a tooth extraction with sedation and it was absolutely amazing. I am very impressed with how painless and smooth my surgery was.I was nervous at first due to my traumatic experiences with extraction from other dental practices and I also knew that my case is complicated, but Nurse Maya helped me throughout the process with so much empathy. Dr. Richard effortlessly inserted the line on my arm to start the sedation. I was also at ease to know that Dr. Garth and nurse Eve were there to make sure the sedation also runs smoothly.Thank you so much to Dr. Richard and his team. They are obviously the dental experts! I cannot wait to get back there for my dental implants.

Having suffered awful traumatic experience as a kid going to the dentist, I was terrified having to see a dentist for work. Noble staff (Eugenie) understood my trepidation and went to extraordinary lengths to make me feel at ease. In my first sitting I had to loose 4 teeth and never felt a thing. Zero pain or discomfort. They explain everything they are about to do and options available. I am pleased to recommend them to anyone as an outstanding team. I look forward to my six monthly checkups.

Fantastic experience. Dr Richard Longbottom is the best periodontist in Auckland for sure :) 10/10 would recommend for dental implants!

I am very impressed with the excellent service received at Dr. R. Longbottoms' clinic. Having a couple of problems with my gums I was referred to Dr. Richard for consultation and deep clean. Sue at reception was very helpful and welcoming. Dr. Richard was very friendly and professional. My hygienist Eugenie has done a great job on my teeth and gums. Extremely knowledgeable, very patient and caring person. She made me feel comfortable and relaxed during the procedure. Very happy with the service and treatment received. Fantastic team. Thank you to all of you. Highly recommended.

After going to India for a full set of implants,I began to hit problems and was advised to contact Richard. Well what a lovely guy and never made me feel stupid for going there.Although my main treatment is keeping them clean,I have to say that the lovely Sarah has been a god send for me and the feeling I get when she has finished is fantastic and is very thorougher without any pain at all. Richard has popped in on every visit to see how things are going which makes me feel,I'm being looked after. Thank you to all at Top Gums....great service.......Pat D

The actual surgery was a breeze, so much better than I expected, and recovery has been the same. Very little pain or discomfort and I feel well looked after each time I return for post-op check ups. A couple of minor reasons for not giving 5 stars - firstly there were several date/time mixups with my appointments leading up to the surgery, and secondly the instruction sheets that I was given did not always match with the instructions I had been told at appointments, which has been somewhat confusing. But as I said these are both minor details and overall I have been happy with the experience.
