Important – about this score

Please read before drawing conclusions about this clinic.

This score is an automated, opinion-based assessment generated by SmileJet's proprietary AI algorithm from publicly available information – including aggregated third-party reviews, clinic-published materials, and other open-source signals. It is not a statement of verified fact, a professional medical opinion, or an endorsement, and individual experiences may differ.

How the algorithm penalises scores

Our methodology applies score reductions where signals are detected that, in the algorithm's assessment, may indicate: unverifiable or potentially overstated claims about clinical experience or credentials; review patterns the model flags as inconsistent with organic user behaviour; or limited independent corroboration of marketing statements.

These adjustments reflect algorithmic signal-weighting only and do not constitute an allegation of any specific wrongdoing by this clinic or its staff.

Clinics may request a review of their score at any time. Read full methodology →

Why Choose Central Hutt Dental in Lower Hutt?

Central Hutt Dental offer services in orthodontics, digital, general, cosmetic and advanced restorative dentistry. Book an appointment with our dentists!
Welcome to the Central Hutt Dental ‘about us’ page! Want to know how did we start? Well, the practice was thought up by our very own Founding Director Dr. Hamid Al-Hassiny. The idea for Central Hutt Dental was dreamed up in 2018. The Queens Arcade has been in need of a modernisation and has sat quite stagnant for a number of years with a lot of the available space that is in a great location being unused for a very long time. Not an easy task, but Dr. Hamid saw an opportunity, and a part of that was delivering high-quality, modern dental service in the heart of Lower Hutt. It has been two years in the making, but the result is beautiful! A complete renovation of the Queens Arcade complex and the development of a new built-to-purpose dental centre. Located in the centre of Lower Hutt at 65-71 Queens Drive, Queens Arcade, Hutt Central. Central Hutt Dental will be operating eleven dental chairs, with a dedicated orthodontic department to our growing orthodontic clientele that require aligners and braces. We specialise in the field of digital dentistry; this is a modernised form of the general dental practice that makes dentistry more comfortable easier and faster. You will see some of the most cutting-edge pieces of technology in dental and medical care. Our centre will also provide general dental services, extraction/surgical extraction, cosmetic dentistry, and dental hygiene services. Our teams aim is to provide you with the best overall dental experience possible with our client experience, our cutting-edge facility, highly skilled and experienced team, and modern techniques and technologies. We focus on your personal needs and try and make the whole process as simple and one may even say as enjoyable as possible. We really are very lucky to be a part of the Hutt Central population and look forward to creating a stress-free gentle dental experience.

It's not a common emotion to enjoy the dentist but the team head led by Haider delivers a great experience. Super clean and tidy like entering a fancy hotel, but for me the technology they use really impressed me. The interaction with the technology and the team combine for a really good result. I don't think you can do it much better.

Came in with the worst pain and no knowledge of how I was going to move forward with it. Thanks to Dr Alexander Fang and his lovely assistant down at Central Hutt Dental for assisting me with my extraction. Dr Alexander was very informative with my options and also with the procedure I decided to go through with right through to my post care. Very professional and respectful. My experience was alot less stressful and I felt welcomed and comfortable not as anxious as how I would usually feel at a dentist. Thank you again.
