As a leading dental institution in the area, we specialize in orthodontic, oral surgery, and periodontal treatments, offering the latest advancements in contemporary dental care to give you a healthy smile that you can be proud of.

At Southern Dental Specialists, we believe that it is never too late to transform your smile. That is why our team of highly experienced specialist orthodontists, oral and maxillofacial surgeons, and periodontists have completed extensive, full-time specialist training in their respective fields. With their expertise and dedication, you can trust that you will receive expert, evidence-based advice and treatment tailored to your needs.

Our dental specialists understand that each patient has unique goals, lifestyle, and budget. That is why we provide customized treatment plans for patients of all ages. Whether you are looking to improve the appearance and function of crooked or irregular teeth through orthodontics or require dental implant surgery, management of benign pathology of the jaws, jaw-joint surgery, or treatment and prevention of gum disease, our specialists will work closely with you to provide the best treatment options to suit your individual needs.

Orthodontics can truly transform your smile by enhancing the appearance and function of your teeth. We offer a range of options, including traditional fixed braces and clear aligners such as Invisalign®, to help you achieve a great looking smile and a healthy bite. Our orthodontist, Hannah Jack, will conduct a thorough initial consultation and orthodontic examination, ensuring that you are well-informed about the best treatment options available to you.

For oral and maxillofacial surgery, our consultant specialist, Chris Sealey, specializes in dental implant surgery, management of benign pathology of the jaws, jaw-joint surgery, and management of facial trauma. With his modern treatments and extensive experience in oral and maxillofacial surgery, Chris will ensure that you receive the highest quality care to optimize your oral health and comfort.

Our periodontists, Dr. James Dawson and Dr. Poppy Horne, specialize in the treatment and prevention of gum disease, helping you to keep your teeth. They also perform procedures to enhance the appearance and function of your teeth and gums, such as improving the symmetry of the gum-lines. If you have missing teeth, our periodontists are trained in the placement of dental implants, which are often considered the 'next best thing' to natural teeth.

At Southern Dental Specialists, we offer a variety of treatment options to cater to your specific needs. Our orthodontic treatments include traditional braces, clear ceramic braces, and Invisalign® clear aligners. Traditional metal braces have come a long way, with modern brackets being much smaller and less noticeable. You also have the option to personalize your braces by choosing different colors. Clear ceramic braces offer a more discreet option, as the brackets blend in with the color of your teeth. Invisalign® consists of custom-designed, virtually invisible, clear aligners that gradually straighten your teeth. They are comfortable to wear and can be easily removed for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing.

If you are looking for specialist dental care in Auckland provided by clinicians you can trust, Southern Dental Specialists is the place for you. We are dedicated to giving you a smile you would be proud of, and we look forward to meeting you and assisting with all your dental needs.
