Loxo Dentists Christchurch

This is my first review I have ever written which in itself is testament to the experience I've had at this dentist. If you are someone with dental anxiety and have procrastinated going to the dentist for years as a result, I cannot recommend Zoe enough!Zoe is such a gentle and genuine person and a very informative dentist who really has alleviated quite significant anxiety around dental treatment. Thank you so much and highly recommend :)

Best bloody dentist I have ever been to! I hate going to the dentist as I have had some bad experiences but my recent visit with Zoe makes me look forward to my next check up! Can not recommend highly enough!My husband has also had work done with Stefan & Samantha (the hygienist) and also says they are awesome :)

Long story, but I wanted to give context. I went to another dentist on the Tuesday with pretty bad, but tolerable, toothache (comparing it to the horror toothache I've had in the past). After x-rays I was told it either needs to be pulled or have a root canal. I chose extraction because of the cost, she scoffed and explained why it was a bad idea. I know she's 100% right but at the end of the day, its my decision and my money is needed elsewhere at the moment. I could be wrong but it felt like she took my decision personally and the tone of my consult changed completely. Anyway, she booked me in for the following Thursday for the extraction.. Nine days after my visit.Each day after that my toothache got worse and by the Friday, it was excruciating. I rung them on Saturday explaining the situation and pretty much pathetically begged for it to be treated sooner than next Thursday, I was told she'd look into it and get back to me. It didn't happen.Saturday night was horrible, ive had bad toothache before and this was right up there with the worst of them.On Sunday I find Loxo Dental online. Straight away, the receptionist booked me in and four hours later my tooth is extracted. Marcus was literally the best dentist I've come across, and ive unfortunately met quite a few. He's very clear when explaining things and very patient and aware of the patients wellbeing; Ive never had a dentist be more considerate. The whole process was pain free to the point where I didn't know when he'd even done the anesthetic and I also didn't know when he'd extracted the tooth. He was very careful and patient and explained it all well. I can't recommend Loxo enough because comparing it to the 10 or 15 other dentists ive been to, this was by far my best experience. I'm super grateful I found them and wish it was them I'd contacted originally.

The worst dentist ever. They only their for money not their patients.My mother went here to get all her teeth removed and to get dentures.They charged her over 5k for this procedure and when she got her dentures she saw that they forgot to remove all tooth which was half in her gum, this coused her soo much pain.And they charged her to remove this tooth when they should of done this right in the 1st trip.The dentures has become loose after 2months already.Worst place ever dont go here unless u want to loose money.

Truely a fantastic dentist. Had my wisdom tooth extracted after it broke and I am really nervous about going to dentists. The dentists that extracted my tooth took a genuine level of empathy and compassion to ensure I was comfortable and okay. I could not rate this dentist any higher and have certainly found my new dental clinic.

Terrible Experience at Loxo Dental - Unprofessional and DamagingReview:I recently visited Loxo Dental to seek treatment for my wisdom tooth pain, and it turned out to be the worst decision of my life. The dentist, who lacked basic professionalism, recommended a root canal without adequately explaining the procedure or providing any information about it. he proceeded with the process, subjecting me to excruciating pain that left me trembling in the chair.To my utter dismay, the dentist abruptly halted the procedure and advised me to start medication before continuing with the treatment. It's bewildering how he expected me, a non-medical professional, to be aware of the steps required before undergoing a root canal. The responsible approach would have been to prescribe medication first, ensuring that I was adequately prepared for the treatment.But the worst was yet to come. The dentist then suggested extracting my tooth as a solution, leaving me with no other choice but to agree due to the unbearable pain I was enduring. Shockingly, the extraction process was even more horrendous, causing me tremendous agony. However, the dentist couldn't even complete the extraction and left me with a broken tooth, adding insult to injury.When I sought a second opinion from another dentist, I discovered that the initial dentist had not only acted unethically but had also damaged a different tooth altogether. It became apparent that he should have referred me to a specialist or oral surgeon for the extraction of my wisdom tooth, rather than attempting it himself.I went on to consult two more dentists, and all of them concurred that the damage inflicted on my tooth was a direct result of the initial dentist's incompetence. This ultimately led me to seek treatment in India, which cost me a staggering $7000 and a lot of pain. The Indian dentist reiterated the same diagnosis, stating that I had to extract two teeth simultaneously due to the damage caused by the previous dentist.In conclusion, I strongly advise against seeking dental treatment at Loxo Dental. The dentist's evident lack of experience and professionalism, coupled with the damage he inflicted on my teeth, resulted in the worst days of my life. Spare yourself the agony and find a reputable dentist who will prioritize your well-being and provide competent care.

I had not been to a dentist in years, mostly due in part to immigration and not knowing who I could trust. Well not anymore! I am so pleased to have found the team at Luxo Dental. The dental hygenist I had (Sam) was truly amazing, she took the time to listen to my fears and explain to me what was happening every step of the way. She has a calm and caring approach but also knows her job well. So pleased to have found someone that I know I can trust! Thank you Sam!

Without doubt the best dentist I have had ever. Fantastic and extremely high quality work. Lovely people. Can’t recommend enough. They have fixed so many problems with my teeth that other dentists didn’t.

I went to Loxo Dental for an oral hygiene appointment with Sam, their oral hygienist. She was really lovely and put me at ease immediately. She did an excellent job, and always explained what she was doing while working on my teeth. She was also very understanding of my intolerance to sodium laurel sulfate and made sure to only use products which she knew didn't contain it and even gave me a name of a toothpaste without it.She gave me very good tips on how to take care of my teeth which are really helping. I was really happy with the result and would definitely be returning in the future.

My tooth fell out and I panicked so I called Loxo Dental and explained to the receptionist, she was lovely and immediately set me up with an appointment. When I got there I was scared and feeling pain because my gum was bleeding a lot. I was attended by Luci who helped me to calm down, she was an angel, sweet, patient and understood why I was scared. Luci and Zoe took very good care of me. I am very happy with the result and will definitely come back in the future.
