Dentist for Papatoetoe families

The trip mostly follows Puhinui Road. From Hunters Corner or Old Papatoetoe, head west along Puhinui Road, cross the Puhinui interchange onto State Highway 20B and follow it towards the airport, then join State Highway 20 and 20A for George Bolt Memorial Drive. Google Maps puts it at 9.2 km and about 16 minutes.

From Manukau city centre it's 9.4 km and about 15 minutes by the same route, so it suits anyone who works around Westfield Manukau or the Manukau offices and wants an appointment before the drive home. Free parking sits right outside our door at the Auckland Airport Shopping Centre, next to The Airport Doctors.

Papatoetoe families use us as their everyday dentist: check-ups and cleans, white fillings, root canal treatment when a tooth is infected, and crowns to protect a tooth that's cracked or heavily filled. New patients start with a $79 exam including digital X-rays, or $149 with a scale and polish, and we give you a written quote before anything else is done.

Eligible teens get free basic dental care, Year 9 to their 18th birthday. If you're on a benefit or a low income, Work and Income may help with essential treatment, and we prepare the WINZ quote for free. Accidental damage to a tooth may be covered by ACC, and we lodge the claim.

We'll show you your X-rays on the screen, talk you through your options in everyday language, and give you time to decide what you'd like to do. You'll always get a written quote before any treatment, and we won't rush you. If you're nervous about the dentist, let us know when you book and we'll set aside extra time for your first visit.
