Highly recommend Tauranga Dental House! Like many, the dentist is not usually an enjoyable experience for me but after trying this practice for the first time I will happily return. After a warm welcome at reception and a short seat in the homely waiting area I was looked after by Dr Spyker and assistant Lavina. Lauren took great care, made an effort to explain and reassure throughout, was gentle and precise, and really made for an excellent experience. Thank you, iโ€™ll be back - with no reason to leave it so long between visits anymore!

For someone who is beyond scared of the dentist, I just had an amazing experience with Roberta the hygienist. She is so reassuring, calm, gentle and pain free. Kane is also an amazing dentist with the same attributes. Thank you for your care.

I developed sudden toothache just before an overseas trip. Luckily Dr Micah Church was able to fit me in for an appointment. After thorough checking I was relieved to discover the pain had been caused by a medication I had recently started on and no dental treatment was required. Micah and her assistant were friendly and professional and explained everything carefully. I would recommend Tauranga Dental House to anyone.

To Kane: I tend to have a low key approach to dental appointments, and therefore have not conveyed my genuine appreciation for the work you have done on my teeth, and also Ginnyโ€™s. Your very high technical and artistic skills, and your clear communication make appointments and treatment a very smooth process, so that I almost take for granted the superb results. Kane, you produce results beyond anything we have previously experienced, so we are truly grateful for the improvements you have made in our dental lives. Thankyou Dale and Ginny Currin

I would like to share my appreciation of my hygienist, Roberta and dentist Dr Micah Church. Both ladies are friendly and very thorough in the job they do. I changed to Tauranga Dental House a couple of years ago for some specialized restorative work and have been very happy with their work ever since.

My first visit here and I never thought I would say that I enjoyed a visit to the dentist. My dentist was Micah and she put me at ease from the start. She was very gentle and very knowledgeable, explaining the situation of my teeth and giving me options to think about for the future. I really enjoyed the experience and will now be going to Micah for all my future dental work. Thank you!
