Carpenters Dental Palmerston North

Best dentist iv ever had for care and personality very welcoming from reception to the dentist and assistant and really friendly and considerate unlike past dentist who can come across cold. The care was great even used numbing gel before the needle as im a wimp with needles in the gums and had some pretty awesome tech iv never seen before and the workmanship was top notch she was awesome the outcome exceeded my expectations left me feeling id happily come back in future something id never felt about past dentist's.

Just had my teeth cleaned and I could not recommend enough, Bridget was amazing and reception staff were super friendly!

Outstanding Dental practice, they got me in at short notice and were very kind and I was very please with their care and staff.they are going to be my go to from now on.

Had an emergency extraction done. Everybody, from the moment I walked in the door, was so warm, welcoming and comforting. I was in so much pain but felt immediately in good hands upon talking to the lovely receptionist and was in the same amazing hands throughout the whole process.
Expert technique from the dentist, as was not looking like it was going to be an easy task.but within 15 or 20 minutes I was walking out the front door and in considerably less pain than I walked in. Amazingly wonderful people!

If I could give more stars I would. I have had such terrible experiences at the dentist that completely put me off. But recently I had to get a tooth pulled & carpenters came highly recommended so I gave it a shot. My partner came in with me because he seen how I was treated at the last place. But from the moment we walked in the receptionists were amazing & friendly. I had Sophia and her lovely assistant, they both made me feel so comfortable talked me through every step, encouraging me every step of the way and made me feel in control. I didn’t feel a thing. I had to go in again for another tooth I didn’t need my partner to go in and I wasn’t that worried because I trusted Sophia. Once again they were amazing. For the first time in my 37years of life I finally found a dentist that I loved.

Broke a last molar crown. After a couple of calls to other dentists (Carpenters had closed) who stated they couldn't fit me in for 2+ weeks, I called Carpenters, and they fit me in the next day.
Dr. Kyle is great. He and his tech made sure I understood what was happening and what they were doing, and they were considerate of me. I'm not a great patient, so I truly appreciate the time and care.
This dentist has up to date equipment (amazing scan instead of x-ray).
Office staff is terrific and accommodating. No complaints at all! (The new crown is fantastic and was manufactured on site)

My first appointment with Carpenters after moving back to Palmerston North. A recommendation from a friend, and I was so thrilled with the way I was welcomed and the expert and quick procedures done today.
Lovely staff and very happy with my Dentist, as I am gagger from way back, so was a little apprehensive, however, need not have worried. Very impressed.

I'm sorry i rang this dentist twice on Thursday got a automated message telling me my phone number and I'll be rung back no call from them my tooth broke on the weekend so I've been in a lot of pain poor communication

I had an appointment with sophia today, brilliant advice with a lovely persona.receptionist emma, warm and welcomingmade me feel at ease.good work team

New to Palmerston North 15 months ago and needed a dentist, tried the franchise company that I was with previously and was disappointed. A friend only had positive things to say about Carpenters Dental so in I went. Friendly reception staff and an appointment booked. Initial work was discussed and completed; then today further restorative work completed. Jared and his dental assistant were just superb, two short appointments today and my smile was restored.

Recently I had extensive restorative work done, which involved porcelain crowns and bridge all completed by Brad Chin. His workmanship and skill is totally outstanding. Brad and his team are so professional and caring. I am so pleased with the outcome, my teeth look beautiful and the transformation is amazing. Thank you Brad.

Hi Carpenters Dental Team

Thankyou so much again for accomodating us in a very short notice. I just rang this morning for urgent appointment as my son is suffering from severe tooth pain. I rang everywhere and everyone says we are fully booked but Carpenters approach me in a different way even though you are booked up they asked me the situation & see what you can do. I honestly, did not expect that you will call back as you say then got an appointment right away. In this, I was already pleased.

Then came to the clinic, all the receptionist were very accommodating. Didn't wait for long. Then Dr Bradley Chin is the best! This is my son's first tooth extraction and you did well for my son first experience (I am more nervous than he) And thankyou so much for your generosity, it really means a lot.

Definitely, your service is highly recomended.

More power and all the best.

Firstly, it's really hard to put into words exactly the difference that Brad and the wider Carpenters team have made to me.
When I was ten I smashed my teeth on the monkey bars. Snapped them - my front adult teeth were all left even and nerves exposed. I was given a disprin in water which hurt like nothing I have ever felt and from then on my stress and anxiety when going to any dentist was huge. Even the smell of walking into the dentist made my heart race and my tummy hurt.
For 44 years it has been the same. I only went to the dentist if there was pain and only then if I couldn't bear the pain!

When my crown snapped off at the end of last year I was terrified of what was going to have to happen. The fear of walking around looking like a pirate and frightening people was the only reason I needed it fixed!

And so the process began, first with the essex splint (and we all know what fun that was) then Glenn popping in the implant. MJ designing the teetht. Then the process of making it all happen. Then the other teeth that needed something. In all of this I became a 'regular' at Carpenters and my anxiety diminished with each visit.

Luckily we had masks because I developed a severe hate relationship with my essex splint which I had cut to size (mistake) and chewed (mistake) and tried to adjust as was annoying (another mistake).

But here I am 9 months ish later with new teeth. Teeth that look normal. My front ones are longer than the others and normal! I was told that would never happen and I would look like bugs bunny with buck teeth if they were longer - but they are longer, I aren't a bugs bunny and I can't even believe the difference, but the difference isn't just the actual teeth (which I must reiterate look amazing) but the difference is in the change in me. I don't feel sick when I see a message from 'carpenters'. I don't feel worried when I park the car outside, nor when I smell the 'dentist smell'. I don't have to take anxiety meds (not that they worked anyway) before I go in. I actually am OK going in and knowing that everyone is working together for my teeth and wellbeing. That in itself is priceless.
Thank you for the care and courageousness you gave me. Thank you for understanding I was a chicken and thanks for explaining everything as we went.

Very quick and straight foreword.

Had a good experience with every single employee I spoke with and I will be back!

I am so happy I found Carpenters Dental!
They offer a fautless service and I am impressed with all the up to date technology. After going to a rural dentist for many years there is no comparison.
I highly recommend Dr Brad Chin who really takes the time to listen and provides excellent care and expertise.
Having some major work today I felt in safe hands.

Excellent dental clinic. I had called in for an emergency appointment for a really sore tooth - got an appointment on the same day, 40 mins from my phone call. The dentist (Dr Sophia) & assistant (sorry I didnt catch her name) I felt were very competent, confident and friendly. I didn’t even feel the local anaesthetic being injected. I had my xray, she quickly identified the issue, had my 1st root canal treatment all done in the same day done within 30 minutes. Thanks also to Emma (receptionist) for being a bright friendly face & being helpful!

Clare at Carpenters Dental is absolutely fantastic! The best dentist I have ever dealt with and I am never concerned or anxious about attending my appointments with her as I know she takes great care of her patients. She is so friendly, professional, thorough, gentle and efficent and is always running on time. One thing I have not experienced from anyone in the dental or medical field before. Honestly she deserves a medal! Thanks so much Clare and the friendly team at Carpenters. Highly recommend!

Shaved too much off one tooth (lower right premolar), now my bite is ruined. Should never have been done and I fully regret going. Can't 'unshave' whats done so now my lower left premolar (untouched) has disproportionate pressure when trying to close my mouth fully. Was told that it'd adjust to the change; over a month in and I wish I had the original tooth back as it was.

Had a problem with a tooth rang and made an appointment, first available appointment was for 3 weeks time. Got a phone call saying opening available next day due to cancelation.
Went in wouldn't you know it tooth was no longer playing up, had a check up anyway resulting in a filling being required. Thanks

Greeted very well by the front staff. Dentists are so nice & helpful and Brilliant in their jobs. I recommend everyone to go there. Very reasonable price as well.
