The staff at Stafford Dental Centre are friendly, welcoming, and efficient. Ryan the Dentist is very clever and kind, with great listening skills - he focuses on producing the best possible dental treatment, and he is great at explaining treatment options in a way that is easy to understand. I'd highly recommend Stafford Dental to anyone looking for effective, friendly and affordable dental services.

I have very high dental anxiety because of recurring dental issues and improper work done in the past. Dr Ryan was fantastic. He is both skilled and has high emotional intelligence which is rare to find. He gently inspected and cleaned my teeth and the camera system was great to see the teeth and issues / clean-up in real time. He is also incredibly patient, kind and answered my million questions. I don't live in NZ but I would go out of my way to travel here for dental work / check-up. The reception staff was also so nice and helpful. Thank you very much Stafford team for everything!
