Owner's reply
Hi David, I'm glad you had a great experience with Amy. We have been very fortunate to have her join the team. It's a shame we will have to eventually send her back to Canada, but we are making the most of it while we have her here. I will pass on your feedback. She will be delighted.Posted on Google

Ellen Barrett179 days agoI recently visited Superna at Dental Solutions with a painful back molar, an X-ray revealing an abscess. With just three weeks before we left on an extended overseas trip I was anxious to have the tooth treated quickly. Superna and the team referred me to Tauranga Oral Surgeons where my treatment was fast-tracked so that I was able to head off on holiday with peace of mind. My heartfelt thanks to Superna and the team at Dental Solutions for their expert advice and quick action!
Owner's reply
You are very welcome Ellen. I'm glad we could help you get that sorted and now all you have to do is enjoy your holiday!Posted on Google

Jennifer Rawlinson280 days agoI’m over the moon with the level of service and care I’ve received from Dental Solutions Tauranga for the dental work I’ve needed. I came in with an ongoing issue with my teeth, in desperate need of a solution and they went above and beyond to deliver! I suffer from chronic pain so sitting anywhere for any length of time can be difficult, and I don’t particularly enjoy the thought of going to the dentist. But they provided a relaxed, caring environment where I could have my dental work done without fear or anxiety and the work itself was amazing. I have a new found confidence in myself with the results and I can’t recommend this dental surgery enough for their excellence and attention to detail!
Owner's reply
Jennifer - thank you so much for the wonderful review. We are so pleased to be able to help you.Posted on Google

Sue Hardgrave417 days agoBernie and the team give excellent service. They are always friendly and personable while maintaining professionalism. They care about the whole person and your general health, not just your oral health and are happy to spend extra time if necessary, prioritising education, prevention and early intervention. The hygienists are thorough and careful and care about your comfort. Bernie, my dentist, is great at explaining things including treatment options and involving you in decisions. The reception staff always have a warm welcome for you. You’re never just another patient. I always feel safe in this team’s care. When you find a good dentist, you stick with them… I can definitely recommend Dental Solutions.
