Grafton Dental Care is the dental clinic in the Nugent Street cluster, in the same building group as Grafton Medical Centre and The ExerScience Clinic. It is not Symonds Street Dental Centre. Dr Vaibhav Talesara, known to patients as Dr V, opened the practice in 2017 after the Otago bridging course for overseas dentists and seven years in private practice. Use the phone, email or website button on this listing.
The practice site lists general dentistry, crowns, implants, root canals, smile design, fillings and bridges, and describes the pitch as passionate, professional and affordable. Dr V trained in botulinum toxin injections for anti-wrinkle therapy and clenching. Dr Linda, BDS Otago 2015, has practised in Auckland since 2016. Dr Sweta Sharma is named on the team page. Directory profiles also name Dr Matthew Davies and oral health therapist Storme Joseph. A review names Megan Cook at the front of house. Healthpoint lists urgent dental care as yes, and free adolescent dental care from the start of Year 9 until the 18th birthday.
Public comments cluster on Dr V. One reviewer had four wisdom teeth removed and wrote that the process was explained and unhurried. Another named an emergency extraction and described it as gentle. A patient who had lived in New Zealand for ten years, after dentistry in the United States, wrote that this was the practice they stayed with. A newer-to-New-Zealand patient named the setting as clean and the fees as the reason they stopped shopping around. A review roundup cites about 170 comments. That is a large public set for this suburb. It is still not a quote.
Healthpoint lists Monday to Thursday 8am to 5pm and Friday 8am to 3pm. A dentist directory lists Thursday 9am to 6pm and Friday 7.30am to 3.30pm, and a review site lists Friday closing at 2.30pm. Weekends are closed. Use the phone button and ask for the day you need, because the Friday close is the conflict. Walk-in urgent care is listed, but still call before you travel.
It is not the Symonds Street practice and not the GP clinic next door. Adolescent funded care has an age rule. Ask before you assume a younger child is covered. Implant and smile-design work needs an assessment, not a same-day promise.
The Nugent Street cluster is easier to park than the hospital garage if the building parks are open. Grafton Dental Care is the dental room in that cluster, not the GP clinic. Confirm a park when you book. Ask for Dr V by name if that is the clinician the reviews sent you for.
