Awesome service, and super child friendly too. I keep going back because of their service from the beginning (reception) to end (treatment and follow up).

Very friendly and professional, also the Dentist I had (Rob) had an absolute banger of a playlist. You haven't had a real dental experience until you've had a filling put in while OG Black Eyed Peas plays in the background.

Our son had a 9.00 am appointment. To cap one of two teeth. From the start the dentist was totally unprofessional. He was administering laser treatment. Our son jumped in pain. The dentist enquired why. Why...because our son could ACTUALLY FEEL IT! Oh I forgot the pain relief injection! REALLY? The dentist then administered the injection. ONCE AGAIN our son jumped in pain! Oh...he..the so called professional dentist... forgot the numbing cream Who is this dentist? At 11.30 am the dentist advised our son. He would make up the cap and our son should return at 2.00pm for a half hour installment appointment. I delivered our son promptly at 1.45 pm to Central Dental for his half hour appointment. And waited outside. At 4.00pm I rang the dentist to enquire where the hell our son was. I was told by receptionist... I will call you back. REALLY... Our son emerged at 4.15pm. Over 2hrs LATER. WITHOUT any pain relief or follow up information. Totally unprofessional and lacking any kind of empathy toward patient wellbeing. NEVER GOING BACK

Kiran at Central Dentists is fantastic. Very thorough but most important of all, gentle!! I have had several dentists over the years and Kiran is by far the most gentle and obviously very considerate of my experience as a patient. Highly recommended.

Should have saved myself the time hassle and money and not gone here, recent reviews don't lie this place has gone backwards majorly. If you want to leave frustrated, annoyed and ripped off this definitely the place to visit Wellington. Would not recommend.....

I was really disappointed with my experience. The dentist I saw seemed bored and uninterested. I've been referred to a further appointment by a specialist in late November so I'm now waiting for a few months in pain. I'd like to go again for a second opinion from a different dentist at the same place as I've had previous good experiences. But this time, with the dentist I got, very disappointing.

We have reviewed our records and see you are not a patient here at Central Dental and have passed this on to the branch involved. In terms of the Specialist Appointments, you are on their short notice list so they will contact you as soon as they have an appointment available before November. Once again we regret your experience. Central Dental Surgery.

Dr Josh and the staff are great. I had a condition which made it difficult for me to undergo any procedure but they gladly accommodated my specialist's request and made the dental treatment work for me.

Dr Joshua is an excellent dentist. He's efficient, kind, and very good at keeping a patient calm during the appointment. The support staff are also caring and good at their roles. I'll continue to encourage those who don't already have a preferred dentist to go see Dr Joshua.
