"Amazing experience, very thorough, always making sure to communicate and taking time to help me understand every procedure, highly recommend Mei and her team"

★★★★★

"Dr Sean , Jodie and the team changed my mind about going to the dentist, from a horrible experience to an amazing one. I will no longer put off dental care as I know I will be listened to and looked after by the team!!"

★★★★★

"My journey with ALL the team at the dentists has been wonderful. Sean ,Kelly, Jodie & reception staff, very professional. I needed some pretty major work done...which Sean delivered on far more than I had ever expected (because of previous damage/works) He is very passionate about his work, super easy communication with him. The technology available here is amazing. He explains in detail & all procedures will not be performed unless both parties are happy & agree. I always felt very welcome & comfortable here. I am currently now wearing the BEST smile I have had in alot of years 😁 all Thanks to Sean & the team. I would strongly recommend The Dentists Taradale."

"Wisdom teeth removal I had my wisdom teeth removed by the absolutely wonderful Mei and it couldn’t have been a more smoother experience for me. I had all 4 removed 2 of which were impacted and had been quite nervous prior to removal, however there was no need for panic at all. Mei and her lovely dental assistant made the procedure so comfortable for me. I was put under light sedation which I was more nervous for than getting my teeth removed but again was really well looked after and was proved wrong with how easy and effective it was. You’re also given local anaesthetic where you won’t feel a thing! Recovery has been great for me too (of course everyone is different) really manageable pain as long as you do all of the steps correctly after your procedure, you’re given a clear list of what you need to do too which is super helpful. Thankyou again!"

"Extremely nervous before coming , as soon as I met the dentist doing my wisdom teeth he Calmed me down and was very straight forward very relaxing in a way"

★★★★★

"Sean Phillips is nothing less than a master of his craft. At my initial consultation with him for invisalign he instantly recognised what had been causing my teeth to revert back to crowding – something that had been missed completely by other orthodontists over the course of 2-3 years of prior treatment (braces). We are extremely lucky to have someone of his calibre and level of expertise working here in Hawke's Bay. Also special shout-out to Jody who joined the team during my treatment and helped to oversee my excellent results. I'm so happy with what has been possible to achieve."

★★★★★

"I had two crowns done in one morning. I was very nervous about the pain of the procedure. There was none. The numbing gel applied before the injections is the best thing ever. I'm glad to have kept my teeth as I've spent a lot on braces and didn't want them pulled out after all of that. I was impressed with the care taken during this procedure and the result. The discomfort afterwards was also minimal."

★★★★★

"Sean and Kelly have been amazing! Taking a lot of care and patience to explain what is happening and making sure my mouth is as healthy as it can be. It is always a pleasure visiting. You know you are in great hands! Highly recommended."

★★★★★

"Sean and Kelly gave me my healthy smile back, I am very happy with the work and definitely recommend giving them a visit!"

★★★★★

"Altogether I had a cleaning, one filling, two wisdom teeth extracted, and two bone grafts placed. I paid $3,400. There are no payment plans. I paid on the day of operation, before the procedure. It was well worth it. The operation took 4 hours. I have had little-to-no pain in the days following. The pain I did have was extremely manageable with basic medication; paracetamol; and ibuprofen. This experience does not mirror a single one from anyone I had spoken to prior to getting it done. Everyone said I would feel like I had been kicked in the face for days, or something else similar. I felt tired the day of, that’s about it. For reference the only drugs I had administered during the op was medazolam and anaesthetic injections. There was a bit of pain and discomfort at the very end when the stitches were being placed, this was expected. I am blown away by the quality of work done by my Dentist, Dr. Mei Ting, along with her assistant, Alycia. They treated me with the utmost care and respect throughout the procedure. And with swift professionalism by Mei in the appointments preceding. I was phoned by reception the day after for a quick post-op check. Mei herself personally called me a couple days after that to chat about how it was going. It’s been four days since the procedure and I have minimal swelling. Tomorrow I don’t expect it to be noticeable. This team deserves the high rating they have here. Flawless. Thank you, and kind regards, Justus."

Thank you for such amazing service."

"I cannot speak highly enough of Sean & Kelly, the team I had for a bulk of dental work to future proof my teeth and fix some current issues I was having. Sean is super passionate about what he does, he is calm and explains every step of the process with you. It has been super cool working through what feels like many visits, seeing some amazing technology and also the pride Sean takes in his work when he shows you what he has done. Between them they make you feel comfortable and relaxed and they are both so gentle and caring. I would highly recommend Sean & Kelly."

The procedure was painless and I recovered quickly afterwards. Mei gave me clear options, possible outcomes prior to starting. Thank you Mei and Alycia. Totally recommend"

★★★★★

"HIGHLY RECOMMEND Sean and Jodie for tooth removal! He did such a great job on me. They got me in with only a days notice to remove a broken/badly infected tooth that caused me extreme pain. Was booked in for surgical extraction in July, however that was too long of a wait. Also it was waayy cheaper getting it removed through Sean than it was through surgical extraction. Much Appreciated!"

★★★★★

"I can't speak highly enough of Sean and Janaya at The Dentists Taradale. I was originally booked in with an oral surgeon as I needed a tricky extraction. However Sean was able to see me on the day I called in. He was able to calmly and confidently talk me through the procedure and complete the extraction quickly with a very gentle manner. Most definitely recommend."

★★★★★

"Special thanks to Jodie, Sean, and Kelly for their high level of skill & great team work! Really appreciate my renewed fillings and new crowns."

★★★★★

"If you're looking for high quality dentistry, this is the place to go. I was lucky to be looked after by both Mei and Alycia who were very warm and welcoming, allowing you to let go of any anxieties! They have very upto date technology with cameras allowing you to see the details yourself, which is certainly eye opening. The overall check up and clean was very thorough and really gentle. Teeth also look SO much better with all the coffee stains gone... Would highly reccommend! Thank you (:"
