About Dental Solutions – Tauranga’s Trusted Dental Team
Dedicated to Exceptional Dental Care – Meet Tauranga’s Leading Dental Team
A Tauranga Tradition – Dentists Since 1922
“Our people make all the difference.”
Dental Solutions has been proudly serving the Tauranga community for over a century. Originally located on the corner of Wharf and Willow Streets, the practice has been part of local life since 1922.
In 1998, Bernie and Cathy Pollard took over with a clear goal: to create a family-friendly dental practice where patients feel genuinely cared for. Their philosophy is simple:
“We treat our patients the way we’d like to be treated ourselves. We see them as part of our extended family.”
In 2003, Dental Solutions moved to a purpose-built space at the corner of Cameron Road and McLean Street. With onsite parking and a relaxed atmosphere, our modern practice is designed to make your visit as easy and comfortable as possible.
The Safe is part of the original history – the surgery first began in 1922 in a building called Bank Chambers – the safe relocated to the new premises with us in 2003.
