After taking my nephew to Howick Dental I was satisfied enough with his treatment, to seek an urgent wisdom tooth removal for myself. I was provided with prompt service and well taken care of, I Highly recommend Howick Dental Surgery Clinic!
My second visit proved as good as the first. Treated with care and every detail was discussed during my visit.
Excellent quality of the patient care and the overall appearance of the of the dentists working conditions was excellent
Excellent quality of the patient care and the overall appearance of the of the dentists working conditions was excellent
One star due to disappointing and unsympathetic interactions with the receptionist, Sarab.
A month ago, I got my wisdom tooth removed. The surgery itself was fine, I did feel pain around my jaw during the surgery but aside from that Dr. Himani did a good job.
Post-surgery is where everything went downhill.
1-3 days later, my pain did not improve at all. I knew something was wrong so I tried to schedule an urgent follow up appointment. Sarab struggled to get me an appointment due to short-staff. I understand, but there should be a contingency plan for situations where patients get post-surgery complications.
I was finally seen by Dr. Kiri and she said I had an infection, if my symptoms worsen she told me to go A&E. I realised how serious the situation was so I told Sarab and he had a look of disbelief (as if I’m lying). I then booked my next follow up 10 days later and Sarab also asked if I wanted to process a second Southern Cross insurance claim for a future appointment so that I use all my dental benefits before my policy renews, I said no (this is very unprofessional).
Before my second follow up appointment, I started to get more worried because I developed ear pain. I tried again to move my appointment earlier and my conversation with Sarab was dis-heartening. He said statements like, “my recommendation is that you wait until next week.. your symptoms are normal… you know you’re not the only one who gets pain”. He also said my pain was “impossible to happen, it’s impossible for you to have an infection” after I told him that I’m trying to recover from one.. I was speechless after that last comment because I was silently crying, I did not feel any sympathy for all the pain I was feeling.
After that call with Sarab, I decided to no longer pick up the calls or reply to messages. I would rather talk to an actual dentist and have them give me their recommendations instead.
Don’t contact me after reading this, all you need to know is that I still have a large hole, I’m still in pain and I’ve gone back to my original dentist.
I also don’t like being asked to give a google review, and then being followed up again to submit it. I felt pushed to give 5 stars because everyone was doing it. Now that’s different.

Kiri did a wonderful job. I was quite anxious but she made sure I was comfortable and l reassured me throughout the process. Thank you to the Howick Dental Surgery Team
“I can’t express how thankful I am for Dr. Himani. I had been avoiding the dentist out of fear, but she changed that for me. Her compassion, gentle approach, and reassuring words made all the difference. She doesn’t just fix teeth—she heals the anxiety that comes with them. I left feeling cared for, understood, and genuinely supported. She is a blessing.”
Highly recommended.

The dentist is very professional. All the staffs are friendly.
Dr. Himani gives me proper advices on my teeth and she has also looked after my wife and son. My family and I appreciate all your support.

I originally ended up at Howick Dental Surgery after I couldnt get an appointment with my usual clinic - and I'm glad it worked out that way - because I ended up making the switch!
The team is incredibly kind and professional. Dr. Kiri has a very gentle touch and always makes you feel well looked after -- perfect for those who are a bit spooked by dentists 🙂
Their pricing is also refreshingly fair for the level of care that you get. Highly recommend!

Lovely staff and very clear explanations of my dental care. Felt really well looked after!
Dr. Kiri's dental clinic was prompt in confirming appointments, staff were courteous, and she took the time to explain the details of the why behind the treatment plans. Highly recommended. Thanks!
Today Dr Richard Pereira completed a four tooth implant procedure for me.
From the first appointment through to his choice of Oral Specialist and Technician, he has been totally professional and considerate. Richard used modern knowledge and expertise while showing thought and consideration for me, explaining each step thoroughly.
He worked with the Oral Specialist and Technician to ensure I have the best outcome for me. My family and I are very happy with the result

I’m extremely happy with my experience at Howick Dental Surgery. It’s refreshing to find a clinic that values honesty, professionalism, and patient care all at once. I’ll definitely be returning for future checkups and will be recommending them to family and friends.

I had a wonderful experience at Howick Dental Surgery. From the moment I walked in, the staff made me feel welcome and completely at ease. The clinic is clean, bright, and very well organized, which immediately gave me confidence that I was in good hands.
What I appreciated the most was the honest advice from the dentist. They took the time to clearly explain my dental situation and all the treatment options available, without any pressure or upselling. It was obvious that their main priority was my dental health and comfort, not just recommending unnecessary procedures. That kind of transparency and care is rare these days, and it really stood out.

What began as a personal recommendation from a friend 20 years ago has turned into my continued loyalty. Howick Dental is a fantastic family-owned business providing the highest standard of gentle, continuous care. I briefly tried an alternative clinic—it was all hype, no personality, and overpriced. That experience solidified my commitment: I will happily go out of my way to keep coming back here. Truly five-star service!
I’ve been coming to Howick Dental Surgery for a few years now and have always had a great experience. Over the past three years, I’ve had
Three soon to be four wisdom teeth removed here, as well as annual check-ups and cleans. The team are always friendly, professional, and make me feel completely at ease every visit. I really appreciate their care and attention to detail. Highly recommend!

Awesome Dental Practice, staff are so friendly and experienced, highly recommend 👌
Lovely people that work here,and they do some pretty awesome work as well. Kiri was fantastic explaining everything to me .I would like to thank all the staff involved. All the best.
Had a positive experience for my first visit at the practice. Dr Kiri was very pleasant and attentive. Explained all things well.
I don't enjoy dental treatment s;who does?But DR Himani Sharma does really great work and makes it as good as it is going to be.Thanks.
Fantastic care taken with an emergency situation. Future options discussed. Much appreciated.
“I’m very happy with my crown procedure. It was completed on site in two hours, and Dr Kiri explained each step clearly throughout. The result feels like an excellent fit.”
Awesome experience, finished in a timely manner with care for the customer throughout the session.
Dr Kiri has been very friendly and professional. My husband and I have been to Howick Dental Surgery during our stay in NZ for years. Thank you for your great service.
Kiri at Howick Dental Surgery is #1.they have looked after me really well.I like they way I can feel at ease every time.
Hanami is very professional. She is clear about what work she is doing, works with confidence and doesn't scold me about what I should have been doing to look after my teeth. I recommend her as a dentist.
Excellent dentist...very thorough... thankyou for your hard work and patience 👍
I have such great things to say about Howick Dental Surgery and particularly Dr Himani who has performed a root canal, and removed two impacted teeth of mine very efficiently. I insist she will be the one to remove my remaining impacted teeth as I have found her skill and efficiency to be the best
Highly recommend this dental clinic. Great customer service and dental treatment.
I recently underwent a tooth extraction with Dr. Himani at Howick Dental Surgery and was extremely impressed with the high standard of care provided. Dr. Himani demonstrated exceptional professionalism, precision, and compassion throughout the procedure. She explained each step clearly, ensuring I was comfortable and well-informed at all times. The clinic staff were equally courteous and efficient, creating a calm and reassuring environment. The extraction was completed smoothly, and my recovery has been excellent. I highly recommend Howick Dental Surgery for their outstanding service and patient-centred approach.
Dr Himani has done a great job for me. She is a supportive and friendly dentist and makes the experience pleasant and without stress. The outcome of her job is amazing and I enjoy looking at my teeth in the mirror again.
Dr Kiri and the team were brilliant. Very professional, knowledgeable and friendly.
Experienced, professional, knowledgeable & friendly team. Highly recommend Dr Kiri for all dental needs.
At first I was scared, I was petrified….. yes the opening line to “I will survive” but also the anxiety of going to the dentist and especially one you haven’t been to before. With a mouthful of ouch and issues I’ve just got back from my third visit. I’ve had a filling and a deep clean. A tooth pulled out and now a crown. And booked myself in for more. I’m not a sucker for punishment. I just appreciate the care and efficiency Dr Himani provides when she is sorting out my teeth and gums after years of neglect. She knows her stuff and they have all the gadgets to make miracles. I highly recommend their friendly, professional service.
I’m getting old and will not survive.
But my teeth will.
See ya next month.

I absolutely loved my experience with howick dental surgery they went above and beyond to give me a better smile and boost of confidence good advice and feedback and good customer service makes it easier to attend the appointment. All and all I would definitely recommend.
I had a great experience here. The team were very friendly and professional. They did two fillings and a full cleaning in one session, which was super convenient.
I am very impressed by the way my dental treatment was handled at Howick Dental Surgery, every detail regarding my current dental health was covered and I am very pleased with the result, particularly the way Dr Kiri Wakefield treated my dental problems on the day. A very happy patient.
Awesome practice with incredible service. Dr Lizelle did a wonderful job of putting my very anxious mind at ease and every appointment is made so much easier by the amazing work she and the rest of the team do. Great people and great results, I will be back!
One of the best in town! Great dental care by Dr Himani and other staff at Howick Dental Surgery.
Great, friendly, and welcoming reception from Sarab. I had two fillings done with no problems and felt very comfortable throughout. Dr. Himani is very experienced, and I’m looking forward to the next step, which is my Invisalign treatment. I highly recommend this practice.
I had an appointment with Dr Himani today and it was completely pain free
My treatment was a root canal but everything went so smoothly
I really want to thank Dr Himani and her team they are truly professional
Dr Himani is so kind and caring she always checks on you explains everything clearly and gives great advice on what to do next
Even when booking my next step she kindly said she was happy to wait until I finish work before coming in again
How amazing and thoughtful is that I truly appreciate her 💖 I will definitely be sticking with this team and their services

Highly recommended Howick Dental Surgery. Dr. Himani has a very good hand in wisdom tooth extractions. My original dentist wants me to go a surgeon and we all know there big price tag. After having good search around. I found this clinic, my tooth was stubborn and hard to get out. But Dr. Himani experienced hands did a great job.
I highly recommend this place.
I highly recommend this place.
The team at Howick Dental were able to see on short notice after some discomfort. The dentist was very compassionate and did an amazing job. The after care support was awesome too.
I never go to the dentist because I’m pretty nervous when it comes to dentists. I finally had enough of the pain from my wisdom teeth. Dr Himani and the team kept me calm the entire time. Very understanding towards my nerves and made me feel safe. I had my top wisdoms removed. Once the anaesthetic kicked in Dr Himani had my teeth out in no time at all. I would say the injections hurt more than this extraction. What an amazing job. I will be going back for future dental work for sure. I’m considering getting my bottom wisdoms out now too.
I recently had implant treatment with Dr. Himani at Howick Dental Surgery and was thoroughly impressed with the level of care and professionalism. Dr. Himani explained the procedure clearly and made sure I was comfortable throughout. The treatment went smoothly, and the recovery process was quicker and easier than I expected. I felt very well looked after by the entire team. I would confidently recommend Dr. Himani and Howick Dental Surgery to anyone considering dental implants or other dental care.
I experienced an emergency at work when my front tooth came out, so I reached out to Howick Dental Surgery. Despite being fully booked, Sarab quickly accommodated me and handled the ACC claim without any hassle. I was truly impressed by the exceptional care I received from Dr. Himani, and her assistant Amori who skillfully crafted a temporary tooth while my permanent one was being made. I can't recommend Howick Dental enough for their proactive and supportive approach. Thank you so much!
Chipped a tooth and went in for a filling. They slot me in the next day. The chip was small enough they tried to just sand it smooth to save me some money. After sanding they realised it was bigger than expected and went with the filling. I appreciated the attempt to save me some money.
Howick Dental Surgery is a very professional and reliable clinic. The team are very courteous, friendly and easy to communicate with. We highly recommend them.
Nicest dentist I have been to and I’m 21.
Dr Himani Sharma makes you feel very comfortable and checks on your pain through whole procedure. She was very nice unlike a lot of rude dentists. Got 2 wisdom teeth taken out and she explains everything very well along the way .will be back here again for fillings. Highly Recommend!!!!

Great service. Dr Himani is both professional and empathetic. She is calming and ensures that only the required treatment is provided when you see her, while also advising on future steps if required. Her skills in removing wisdom teeth is also incredible. Would definitely recommend
I had a dental visit with them today, always a pleasant experience. Super professional and an amazing team. Highly Recommend
I had an appointment with Dr Lizelle (I brought a grab one voucher) and it was great. The place is nice and clean and the staff are lovely. Dr lizelle explained everything thoroughly - definitely recommend
Very happy to get back to my doctor Kiri for dental check up and cleaning. We have discussed my treatment plan and set up my next appointment. Always spot on, budget friendly and professional service. Thank you so much! Natasha
Dr Kiri is amazing. Our family has been coming to Dr Kiri for approximately 8 years and I highly recommend her for her professionalism, value for money and manner.
Super lovely and gentle. They explain things well and gave me confidence in their work! Highly recommend
What can I say but wow I have found my dentist!
After having a lot of trouble with another dentist which I won’t name due to legal reasons… howick dental surgery totally eased my mind and all my worries about visiting the dentist and they fixed the terrible job the last dentist did so swiftly and efficiently.
From the first phone call I made to make and appointment I was instantly more relaxed about having to visit the dentist. The reception guy is so friendly and warm and welcoming and the dentists are so nice and calming.
I’ve never been so happy to see a dentist but these people really are fantastic. If I could give more than 5 stars I would.

Had a filling done recently with Dr. Himani at Howick Dental Surgery and i was really impressed. I usually get bit anxious at the dentist, but she was super calm, gentle and explained everything in a way that put me at ease. The whole thing was quick, painless and honestly way better than i expected. The clinic has a friendly vibe too - everyone was warm and welcoming.
If you're looking for a dentist who actually makes you feel comfortable, I'd definitely recommend Dr. Himani and her team.

I was suffering from tooth cavity for a while . For that i visited the Howick dental Surgeons and the doctors walked me through every step of how we gonna treat it . the whole staff was really welcoming and friendly. It was a really good experience for me 😊.
Really affordable and quick dental service. I would love to go again and definitely recommend. Good to know that we have that grate dental surgeon in our community
Dr Himani is an amazing , caring and knowledgeable dentist, explain well and clear what is required to be done with the teeth. Satisfaction with the services. Enjoy the cleaning part, feeling fresh and clean.

Moved to Howick Dental from a larger CBD practice. Level of service is great and prices are much more realistic. Staff have been friendly and helpful, treatment careful and gentle. Recommended.
My son went for a new retainer to be fitted. Only one week later there were 8 new retainers waiting for us rather than the expected one. Very happy!
AMAZING!!
The team at Howick Dental Surgery are amazing, from the front desk to all the dental staff. Dr Lizelle is a an absolute professional with her craft, extremely welcoming experience and thoughtful sessions, always felt like I was in good hands. Having Afterpay made things easier so highly recommend for anyone looking for a Dental spot.

Dr Lizelle is absolutely incredible! I’m usually really nervous going to the dentist but I had an incredible experience!
1st time at the dentist for approx 30 years (oops). Very friendly, reassuring and patient. Great service would highly recommend (and my teeth look so much better after an over due polish).
I am not a regular client but I am thankful to get a schedule so quickly for the only day that I am available. Dental cleaning is always a pain for me, but with Dr Kiri made it a very comfortable experience. Although she knows that I go to another clinic regularly, she took time to discuss my oral health with me after the cleaning. With this positive experience, I am now thinking of switching to Howick Dental Surgery. Thank you!
Thanks to the team at Howick Dental Surgery for a job well done. I found them to be extremely friendly and professional, and would happily recommend them
I have great confidence in Kori’s work- have been with her for years. She is a professional, conscientious and caring dentist.
Very happy with the care I received. Dr Himani was friendly, explained things clearly, and did a really good job. I’d definitely recommend her.
Today was my first visit to the surgery..I was a tad nervous but not for long ..Kiri explained everything very clearly and i felt instantly calm ... now I am *all fixed* thankyou.
Professional in every way with good communication and direction.

Highly recommend this Dentist. I recently switched to them and I'm very impressed with the sevice and the skills of the team. I really like how they can settle the bill with Southern Cross straight away.
Kind,. friendly and caring staff, treatment was fantastic too, highly recommend.
I hadn’t been to the dentist in years and was really nervous, but Dr Lizelle was so caring and made me feel completely comfortable. She explained everything clearly and put me at ease (as well as the rest of the team) . I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! I’m no longer scared of the dentist.
Had a wonderful experience with Himani fixing a broken tooth for me. Everything was explained in detail to me and she was very gentle. A really positive outcome 🙂
I’m really happy with the results and would definitely recommend this clinic to anyone considering an implant or other dental treatment. Thanks howick Dental Surgery team.
I recently had a dental appointment for my daughter and I really liked their service .. thank you
Dr Lizelle was gentle and took the time to answer the many questions I had. Thanks
Highly recommended! The staff are incredibly welcoming and friendly. The dentists are extremely professional and thorough and explain everything clearly. It's a great place for anyone looking for excellent dental care in a comfortable environment!
Dr. Himani is really helpful and best in what she does..
Highly recommend Howick Dental.

Both Himani and Lizelle are wonderful, caring dentists. They explain exactly what they're doing and make you feel calm. Thank you 😊
I had an impacted wisdom tooth extracted here after experiencing tooth pain and irritation throughout the week.
Mr Sarab was highly responsive and communicative (once even replying to my inquiries around 10pm) and thoroughly informed me of the process. The appointment itself took no more than an hour, despite the extraction itself being somewhat technical due to the degree of impaction. Dr Himani was very accommodating and the procedure was seamless.
Overall, a great experience thanks to the team at Howick Dental Surgery and I will definitely return for any future extractions. Their excellent ratings are well warranted, do not hesitate to make a booking.

Great experience, most comfortable I’ve ever felt at a dentist, friendly attentive staff, this will be my regular dentist from now on.
Dr Himani did an excellent job and was very thoughtful of my stress and anxiety about dental work. She helped me ease through the whole process and I'm very grateful. Highly recommend if you have dental anxiety.

Just had upper wisdom tooth pulled. Didn't even get a chance to get comfortable in the chair, Dr Himani had that tooth pulled out quickly, spent more time waiting for anesthetic to take effect. In and out in a few minutes

I had a clean, scale, and polish with Dr. Lizelle and it was a great experience. The appointment was super smooth, and she took the time to listen to all my concerns regarding my checkup. I absolutely recommend this dental practice for their wonderful service!
I am usually a poor dental patient, so this was one of my better experiences. Dr Himani gave me plenty of time to take a break, was very informative about what she was doing and was very good and practical about follow up and future xrays, ie, she was happy to leave this until next year.
After one visit I am very happy to recommend her as a local dentist.

I had the most caring and considerate experience, today, for what could have been quite traumatic and disheartening. Amazing communication, understanding chairside manner and a genuine concern for my well-being will bring me back. Thank you!

Would highly recommend her for her great attitude and support she offers during the procedure. Thank you so much 😊 she is definitely the best.. would highly recommend her to all my friends and family.
Best Dentist in Auckland!! Dr Himani and her staff made it such an easy and relaxed experience. Thanks guys. 100% would recommend.
Not long wait time, excellent service and clear explanations, and highly professional .
I phoned in the morning, had appointment at 2pm (same day) and completed a full crown replacement by end of day. Very good communication by dentist (Dr Sharma) and assistant (Nadia). I rarely given reviews but this was a very good dental experience.
Dr Lizelle is an outstanding dentist professional, gentle, and thorough. She takes the time to explain everything clearly and makes you feel completely at ease. The clinic is welcoming, and the service is excellent from start to finish. Highly recommended
Very good dental clinic, Dr Himani was extremely thorough. I would highly recommend their services
Highly recommended!! Dr.Himani did an amazing job and went the extra mile to make sure that the crown was exactly how I wanted!!! Dr Himani, Sarab and the team were absolutely wonderful 😊😊
I have experienced quite substantial dental work over several months with Kiri and would like to confirm I am very pleased with the progress and the results to date. She is very efficient, caring and reassuring.

I highly recommend this place. I started my Invisalign treatment 6 months ago. My results are great and well beyond my expectations. I am fully satisfied with my treatment. The support and courage, I got through the whole process, words cannot explain it. Thanks heaps Dr. Himani and team.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Highly recommend Howick Dental Surgery to anyone looking for a professional experience. I have had a number of issues with my teeth of late and they have bent over backwards to accommodate my needs. Receptionist is amazing - found slots to get me in and Dr Himani extracted a tricky tooth explaining every step in the process. I have also had work with Drs Kiri and Lizelle. All dentists here are wonderful to work with. Thank you to the team - you are awesome.
Came to the clinic feeling pretty anxious but the staff were very welcoming. Dr Himani explained everything clearly and put me at ease. Wonderful experience overall, I highly reccomend!
Awesome team at Howick Dental Surgery. I have been seeing Kiri for a number of years now and can’t highly recommend her enough. Always super friendly and lovely and is amazing at what she does.
I was recommended to visit Dr Kiri Wakefield at Howick Dental Surgery by a local orthodontist who spoke highly of her work. I've been a loyal patient of Dr Kiri's ever since. She is friendly, explains everything in clear to understand terms, provides suggestions of treatment plans without pressure, and takes care with her work to make sure the fit/feel is perfect. Tracey, her assistant is lovely and it's a pleasure to visit the dentist under their care.
I had a broken crown removed and a replacement fitted. Everything went smoothly. It's great to have the whole procedure done in 2 hours. Kiri always explains everything clearly. My husband and I have been going to Howick Dental for years. Would highly recommend this practice.
Tooth extraction, I would rate the whole experience as FIVE STAR and in hindsight no reason for my pre op concerns. Thanks Rob
Great experience at howick dental today the receptionist was very welcoming and Kerry the dentist was absolutely lovely and I was very pleased with the job Kerry did thank you howick dentist for the great experience
Been looking for a new dentist and Dr Lizelle was fantastic. Painless examination & clean, and a clear plan for what to keep tabs on. Highly recommend!
I’ve just got a piece of art crown. It was
Crafted in-house. Thank you Dr Kiri

I came in for a general check up and was very happy Dr Himani was really nice.
10/10 as always. Friendly service and thorough appointment. Always come back to them!
I travel all the way from Maraetai to get treated by Dr Kiri as I know I will get treated to the highest posible standard.
I have been going to Howick Dental for 20years.
The Dentists have changed the service but professionalism has not.
It's always a big spend when you go to the Dentist. I have found this business to be fair minded with this also.
All the best. Thanks for making me smile 😃

Great service. Highly recommended. Very happy. Thanks all of you for your expertise 😁👍
I would highly recommend Dr Himani and Howick Dental. Dr Himani was extremely professional and gentle too. My crown replacement was done quickly and to a very high standard. I would recommend Dr Himani to anyone looking for professional and caring dental work.
Howick dental have excellent booking service. They get straight back to your answephone messages even over the weekend.
Kiri Wakefield has been my dentist for almost 10 years and I recommend to her anyone.
An awesome dental practice.

Came in with a couple concerns about my teeth, turns out I needed to get a root canal on one and a couple of fillings in the others.
Normally i’d be pretty anxious but Dr. Himani really helped with that by being upfront with explaining the process and what work I needed done, now I’m just excited to ease the pain rather than dreading the next visit!

As a first-time patient, I can confidently recommend this practice. The team was exceptionally welcoming, demonstrated clear expertise, and consistently ensured my comfort throughout the appointment. Their professionalism was exemplary, and the pricing was very reasonable. I look forward to continuing my care with them.
You simply will NOT find better service than this. At first I was astounded by the amount of 5 stars reviews this place had, then once I went for my surgery I understood why.
From the inquiry call, Sarab was friendly and helpful - I was initially considering going to an official 'Oral Surgeon' for my wisdom teeth extraction, but Sarab reassured me of Dr Himani's capabilities without pressuring me at all. At my consultation meeting, Dr Himani was incredibly kind, willing to answer all my questions and thoroughly explained everything, putting me at ease about the procedure.
On surgery day, I was very anxious, but Dr Himani and the team kindly allowed me to bring a support person into the room. They were extremely gentle and patient, stopping for breaks to make sure I was feeling okay and making encouraging comments to help me relax. Despite my rather complicated case of horizontal wisdom teeth, Dr Himani expertly removed them all albeit in 50 pieces!
After the procedure, their aftercare was impeccable. I was able to text after hours with any concerns and Sarab would reply promptly. Even days later, Sarab would check in to ask about my pain and swelling.
As horrific as it was to sit awake through the procedure, I couldn't have had a better experience. If you are on the fence, look no further than Howick Dental Surgery!! Thank you again Dr Himani, Sarab and the HDS team!

Himani made me feel comfortable during my treatment today.
Filling done and feeling good 😌

Dr Himani and her staff were so friendly, intentional and professional. I was explained of my options during my tooth check-up, and was further explained of the after care.
I said that they were so intentional because my tooth was aching the night I booked my dental appointment; they sent me a text message (beyond office hours) to check if I have painkillers and followed me up hours before my appointment.

I was given an appointment the same day even though I was a new patient. Excellent service by Dr Himani Sharma, she made me feel at ease, friendly and caring staff. Highly recommend them.
Dr Kiri was very professional, knowledgeable & easy to discuss concerns & questions with. She was gentle but thorough during the dental check & clean. She discussed a realistic plan for future dental care with me which I appreciated.
Dr Himani went the extra mile to attend to me at short notice. Her treatment action took away my apprehension and nervousness. She was also reassuring I left in a good frame of mind. I recommend Dr Himani without hesitation.
We found Dr Himani to be competent, professional and skilled using the latest technology in her practice. Will gladly return for further dental treatment. She is highly recommended.
Great relationships with the business, exceptional performance and advice on the dental maintenance to ensure standard conditions. Wonderful personal bonding.
Very efficient. Clear communication on what is needed and consequences of not undertaking the necessary work. Have complete faith in her knowledge and advice; will follow as soon as I have won the Lotto- just cannot afford it at the moment.
lovely place amazing receptionist helped me through it all, amazing work done by himani and nadia had my teeth looking beautiful before my birthday
At my most recent visit to Howick Dental Surgery, I had Dr. Lizelle. She was very thorough and took the time to discuss and explain the growth of my wisdom teeth. She addressed all of my concerns so that I knew I was in good hands. The appointment was also provided at short notice, which I appreciated. I highly recommend Dr. Lizelle and the quality service that this dentist provides.
Always a very professional dental experience from Dr. Kiri Wakefield and the team at Howick Dental. The staff are very considerate and the clinic has the latest technology and is very efficient. I highly recommend this dental service.

My biggest gratitude to doctor Himani. She was so good and gentle to me, she always listened to me and explained everything in details and I am very happy with my treatment. Thanks Doctor Himani for helping me.
Thank you for allowing me to share my experiences. I walked in with my anxiety levels at a high 10 ,[scale 1-10],I was politely welcomed and examined. Dr Lizelle diagnosed my problem and suggested treatment. After re evaluation she was satisfied with my progress and I was very grateful to restore my teeth to good health. My third treatment, my anxiety levels were minimal, she was able to explain my problems,progress and suggested future .Her easy going and simple approach made me very comfortable. Looking forward to working with her again. Thank you Dr Lizelle
Great service from Himani and her team at Howick Dental Surgery. They are a genuinely caring and a highly professional practice. Very much recommended 👍. I’ll definitely be back!
I enjoyed my time at your surgery
even if I had to go straight in. Relaxing environment and gentle hands. I had my teeth cleaned.

I highly recommend Howick Dental Surgery for all your dental needs. A friend recommended I come here after being quoted a much higher price at another clinic for wisdom teeth removal, and I’m so glad I did. Dr. Himani Sharma is an outstanding dentist—professional, calm, and extremely good at her job.
I had two wisdom teeth removed, one of which was a bit tricky to extract, but Dr. Sharma handled it with such care and confidence that it put me at ease. I was quite nervous beforehand, but the entire process went smoothly thanks to her gentle and reassuring manner.
About a month later, I returned for a teeth cleaning and a filling, and once again had a great experience. The whole team at HDS is friendly, welcoming, and clearly committed to providing excellent care.
All in all, I couldn’t have asked for better. If you’re looking for a skilled and trustworthy dentist, Dr. Himani Sharma and the team at Howick Dental Surgery will take fantastic care of you.

I recently visited Howick Dental surgery, for my dental appointment, and I was thoroughly impressed! The entire team was friendly, professional, and made me feel at ease. The dentist took the time to explain everything in detail, answered all my questions, and provided top-notch care. The office was clean, modern, and well-organized. I appreciated the gentle and caring approach, which made what could have been a stressful experience actually enjoyable. Highly recommend Dr. Himani Sharma to anyone looking for exceptional dental care!"
The worse experience I've ever had in my 69 yrs.
Had 5 extractions.
Learnt a lesson though.Dont necessarily take the cheapest quote unless you have thoroughly checked.
They were $250 cheaper than clinic down the road who quoted totally sedated prior to any works.Here I was injected twice after 10 mins of procedure also with the injections prior.
Had another top 6 removed 5 months ago without the slightest pain.
The young owner who acts as the front desk secretary makes out he doesn't know much and I'd go along with that.Just keeps an eye on the appointments and money coming in.

Great Service, I just moved into the area and was looking for a good dentist. I’ve been to a few but this one was So good! Highly recommend them. The staff are very friendly! I also highly recommend Dr Himani,
, she made me feel so comfortable while my teeth was getting done - her work is surperb and she always makes sure to check on you. Loved my experience, definitely going back there in the future .

Wow! I am fully satisfied with my dental treatment today. Lovely team, highly recommend this place. If you have a dentist phobia, please get your treatment done form Dr. Himani. I have had a very bad relationship with dentists, due to a bad experience in the past. But Dr Himani understands my dental anxiety, gives great explanation of the dental treatment, very efficient and kind. She always keeps me updated before the start of any procedure.
I am more confident with my smile now. I’ve now booked another appointment for my whitening moulds. See you next week team.
Thanks

My front tooth crown came loose yesterday afternoon and I was pretty panicked about it. I called six different dental practices and the earliest anyone could see me was late today, with one saying they couldn't fit me in until the 22nd. I tried explaining my dire situation, but nobody seemed to care.
Then I called Howick Dental Surgery and they immediately understood the problem. They made time for me after their last patient, even though they were fully booked - just like the other six. I was so relieved. It's not often you find a healthcare provider who actually understands and goes out of their way to help when you really need it.
The whole team was fantastic. They treated my emergency like it actually mattered, while other practices just saw it as another appointment to squeeze in somewhere. When you're stressed and need help, having people who genuinely care makes all the difference.
I'd definitely recommend Howick Dental. Yes, they're very skilled at what they do, but more importantly, they understand that sometimes people need urgent help and they're willing to make it happen.

Our daughter suffered an injury requiring urgent dental treatment. It was a Sunday evening and the help we received from Howick Dental Surgery was incredible, they were calm and knowledgeable in a time where no other dentist would pick up their phone, they made a traumatising and stressful situation, much calmer! Thankyou!
First of all, I want to say thanks to all the Howick Dental Surgery Team. I am always very anxious to go to the dentist. My visit to your dental surgery was really good. Dr. Himani was my dentist, she was well experienced and explained everything to me beforehand, I got all of my wisdom teeth extracted, she charged me $550 per tooth, I had a quotation to do the same job for $1200 per tooth. I feel this clinic thinks about patients' best interest.
I am happy to recommend this place to anyone. No wonder why this dental clinic has one of the highest google reviews in Auckland. Their service explained it very well.
Thanks, team, for your great dental service.

I found Dr K Wakefield to be very kind & professional. Would highly recommend her as a dentist for anyone nervous or anxious about visiting a new dentist/dental practice
Great local dental clinic. Friendly & helpful staff from the receptionist to the dentist/doctor.
I recently visited Howick Dental Surgery and was very impressed with the modern and clean clinic. Dr. Himani was fantastic, taking the time to explain everything thoroughly and ensuring I was comfortable throughout my treatment. The staff was also very friendly and helpful, making the whole experience smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend them, especially Dr. Himani for anyone looking for excellent dental care.
Dr Himani is amazing! She has a really calming presence and constantly checked in on me and reassured me during my root canal procedure. I felt in really good hands and would highly recommend her and Howick Dental Surgery.
I have been to Howick Dental Surgery & get my teeth cleaning & X-ray done for the teeths. Dr Himani Sharma explained me the procedure & the results after the process gets done by herself & her staff. Moreover, throughout the whole cleaning process I am not panicking & even Dr Himani told me to raise my hand if I feel any pain or any discomfort. I really appreciate Dr Himani & her staff for their way of work & being humble, patience & very clear with the instructions. I will recommend everyone to must visit Howick Dental Surgery if you need to see a Dentist. 🙂
I have been to Howick Dental Surgery today & had a good experience with their services. I have got my teeth cleaning done by Himani Sharma & her staff colleague. The experience is wonderful & I am fully satisfied with their dental services & the fees charges is much better as compared to other dental clinics.
Clear communication and good service, a positive experience thank you. Have had some awful experiences with dentists in the past but have been with Dr Kiri for a number of years now and can highly recommend.
Excellent overall service and Team. I have been having scale n polish treatments for over 30 years across many different dental practices ( I have implants and this is a requirement) and today's consult would be one of the best, lovely dentist who actually took the time to listen as well as explain throughout the procedure - thank you.
Hands on heart, best dental experience ever. I am so impressed, with my overall experience at Howick Dental Surgery. I had some fillings, and two wisdom teeth removed, and cleaning done. Dentist was very gentle, and the whole procedures were pain free. Would recommend this place to anyone who wants good quality care at an affordable price. I am going next week for same day crown (CEREC). The dental equipment’s I saw are definitely best in the market. Crown on same day, no temporary filing etc, required wao!
Highly recommended.!!
Highly recommended.!!
I recently attended Howick Dental Surgery following the closure of Dental Planet in Howick. Dr Himani Sharma looked after me and I found her to be very professional, caring and friendly. The Surgery is of a very high standard with the latest modern equipment and provides a full range of treatments for all situations.
Howick Dental Surgery also provides follow-up care to ensure that all patients are looked after.
I have no hesitation in recommending their services.

I had a great experience at the clinic — the staff were extremely cordial and helpful. Despite my last-minute request for a wisdom tooth extraction, Dr. Himani kindly accommodated me, understanding the pain I was in and how difficult the weekend would have been otherwise.
She took the time to clearly explain the entire procedure, including possible complications, and carried out the extraction smoothly and confidently. Dr. Himani was patient, thorough, and made sure I felt comfortable throughout.
I highly recommend this clinic for any dental needs — truly professional and compassionate care.

My experience at this dentist has exceeded my expectations and I’m really grateful to have found a dentist that really takes care of their patients. I’ve been dealing with receptionist Sarab and Dr Himani and they have been super helpful with my dental procedure providing lots of information, great communication, and especially great service. I highly recommend this dentist to anyone that wants amazing dental work done.
I had a great experience at Howick Dental Surgery. Dr. Kiri Wakefield was very professional and made the entire process feel relaxed and comfortable. She took the time to explain everything clearly and answered all my questions without rushing. Kiri also took extra care to save a tooth with decay dangerously close to the nerve. Thanks to her skill and attention to detail, she avoided the need for a root canal, a much more invasive and costly procedure. It’s clear she genuinely prioritises the well-being of her patients over profit. The team was very friendly and efficient, and the clinic was clean and welcoming. Highly recommend if you're looking for a dentist who truly has your best interests at heart.
Never had a better experience while doing my teeth. Staff was respectful and easy going, not once did I have to fear going back to the dentist.
Got some teeth extracted from Howick Dental Surgery, the team were very fantastic and friendly. The process was very easy and I wasn't in as much pain as I thought I would be. Definitely recommend this dental place.
Great service. Highly recommended this place. My extraction were super quick and pain free.
Great dental surgery , friendly staff that put you at ease to make a dentist visit a nice experience 🙂
I always have great care at Howick Dental. Today I had two fillings done and my bite is perfect. Great job guys. Very careful and methodical dental work done by Kiri. I am always greeted with a smile and positivity at the front entrance, which is looking fresher than ever. Thanks Team.
I had a fantastic experience a Howick dental Surgery. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed by how clean and well-maintained everything was, it really put me at ease. The staff were friendly and professional, and the communication was excellent throughout my visit and when rescheduling my appointment. Dr Lizelle explained everything clearly, and I felt informed and comfortable every step of the way. The service itself was top-notch — efficient, gentle, and thorough. I highly recommend this dental clinic to anyone looking for quality care in a welcoming environment.
Excellent dental practice! We called to book an Invisalign scan for my 12-year-old son and were given an appointment right away. Communication was clear and efficient, and the entire experience was smooth and positive from start to finish.
I had good experience with the teams work👍Thanks again to Dr Himani Sharma.
The team at Howick Dental Surgery are exceptional. I see Dr Kiri Wakefield regularly and she provides kind and honest dental care, for someone who can get anxious about treatment she always makes sure I’m comfortable and pain free. I have also had a wisdom tooth extraction done by Dr Himani and it was quick and pain free and have been impressed with my recovery. I would recommend coming here to anyone, booking is very easy and the receptionist Sarab is always helpful and accomodating.
Dr Himani and her assistant were angels, I went in feeling very nervous for a wisdom extraction and they had the most calming energy. Day 1 of recovery has been surprisingly easy too!
Would definitely recommend Howick Dental Surgery

Really great service from Howick dental surgery. Needed last-minute help which they provided with warm and friendly service. Thank you Howick Dental Surgery, no surprise you have such good reviews.
First time patient and can highly recommend. Incredibly welcoming, clearly know what they are doing and constantly ensuring you are comfortable. So professional and pricing very reasonable. I will never go anywhere else!
Being a senior citizen who, in the past has had very few visits to the dentist, I was nervous about my appointment to have 2 fillings (1 large one) and extraction of a tooth that had rotted to the roots.
Kerry was very understanding of my concerns and did an excellent job of the procedures, to the extent that I felt no pain whatsoever. Very happy with my experience!!

I would really recommend Howick Dental Surgery to everyone.

The staff is friendly and very professional from the moment you walk in and throughout your appointment. They don’t try to sell you services you don’t need like other dentists in town. I highly recommend Howick Dental Surgery.
Dr Himani & all other staff is very friendly. Thanks for quick response to the query and pronto service .
Very professional and explained everything that was being done. Also a good summary at the end with how to follow through with keeping up maintenance and hygiene moving forward. Really friendly and comfortable environment. Highly recommended.
I have a good and long history with this surgery dating back to the 1980's. My current dentist is Kiri Wakefield who has cared for my teeth for a number of years.
Yesterday Kiri repaired my broken tooth and made a crown for it at the same appointment. It is by nature of the procedure a longish process, but I experienced no pain after the injection, and felt relaxed and confident throughout the entire treatment. Kiri was professional but gentle, and reassured me throughout by checking to see if I needed a break, and explaining where we were at, as she worked on my tooth. I felt very safe and knew I was in very good and capable hands. The tooth is now not only matching my other teeth perfectly but feels so comfortable in every way.
When the tooth broke last week, I was given an emergency appointment and the tooth was examined by another dentist as Kiri was on holiday. Himani reassured me a crown was still possible and after checking it carefully, put in a temporary filling and an appointment was made for this week with Kiri.
The charge for the crown was reasonable and I was not charged for the first check last week. I could not be more pleased with the help I received and the dental treatment is first class.

Being a Dental professional myself, I was thoroughly enchanted by the exceptional dental treatment administered by Harmani today. Her professionalism was exemplary throughout the procedure, particularly during the cleaning, where I was struck by her soft touch and the absence of any discomfort. The operating theatre was immaculately maintained, reflecting the high standards of her work, and the staff were remarkably courteous. Moreover, her dedication to her patients was evident in her willingness to arrive promptly at 8 am to address my concerns, having promptly responded to my late text message the night before
Great service and easy to book a time,
The latest in technology and this makes the whole process a lot easier,

I recently visited Howick Dental Surgery for my dental needs, and I was thoroughly impressed with the exceptional service I received. The entire team was friendly, professional, and made me feel at ease throughout my appointment.
The dentist and hygienist were knowledgeable, gentle, and explained everything clearly. They took the time to address my concerns and provided personalized care.
What really stood out, however, was the fantastic follow-up service. The team sent me a text to check in and ensure I was recovering well. This thoughtful gesture showed they genuinely care about their patients' well-being.

Good customer service and very friendly, I recommend families in howick to visit them for any dental care!
My own dentist couldn’t book me for the earliest appointment, so I found this clinic. After my first experience, I was so satisfied that I decided to make this clinic my permanent choice. This has been the best experience I’ve ever had with a dental clinic. They always book the earliest available time for me and provide excellent service. Dr. Himani is very professional and skilled, and I’m so glad I found this dental surgery Clinic.
This location is the best for anyone in need of urgent dental care; In addition to being professionals, they would make time to take your call even if you thought no one would, especially after hours. They were extremely kind to open the clinic early for me because when I phoned them last night, I was stressed out and kind of scared. Even though it was my first visit, they made me feel really welcome and cared for. Extremely professionals from beginning to end.
So grateful I found them. Highly recommend x

I went for dental check up and scale and polish. Dr Lizelle gave me a thorough explanation of state of my teeth and actions to take. She did a great job with scale and polish as my teeth didn't feel sensitive afterwards like you sometimes do with some harsh dental treatments. Would highly recommend
From the moment I walk into the clinic, I feel at ease. Dr. Kiri Wakefield’s patience and care are unmatched, and the clinic’s cleanliness and friendly staff make every visit a pleasant experience.
Very smooth experience, good and thorough service, friendly staff. Highly recommended. 🙌🏼
Great efficient service. Very knowledgeable and offer great advice. Kind and gentle dentists.
Thanks to my dentist for an expert job, carried out quickly, efficiently and with care.
The team here will look after you for all your dental treatment. Highly recommended.
Dr Kiri and Dr Himani are both excellent at their jobs. I've had teeth cleanings from both and more recently had a quick and pain free wisdom tooth extraction by Dr Himani. I highly recommend both dentists for any job.
Lizelle was excellent and very attentive in explaining my oral health. Very gentle when she did the polish and scale too, will come back again next year.
I just wanted to pass on a huge thank you to Dr Himani and the team at Howick Dental, who went above and beyond the call of duty looking after my Mum. They did an amazing job and were so, so kind and caring with it. I would recommend this practice 100% to anyone.

I called the clinic and had the best advise. They were very approachable and took their time explaining things over the phone. Moreover many thanks to Himaney for her kind gesture as she was very honest about the treatment and wasn't there to milk money. Got my filling through them and will definitely be back. Highly recommended 👌
Had my second visit today and just as impressed as I was with the first one. Last one was a very tricky filling about 6mths ago and it has proven successful. Bad toothache today and everyone at practice so caring and helpful. Would highly recommend them.
I'd like to give Dr Sharma and Tracey a massive thank you ! I have ASD and anxiety and also have a major phobia of dentists. I messaged Dr Sharma around 4am when I was experiencing excruciating pains. They were the only clinic that responded whilst the other "24/7" dentists haven't even got back to me. She arranged to see me at 8am. She was very quick and efficient and found the cause of my significant pain within seconds of taking a look. Due to my phobia I was willing to tolerate the pain rather than have my wisdom tooth taken out but Dr Sharma explained that it was better to get it done than to tolerate pain.. so she offered lots of gentle encouragement rather than pressure to extract my tooth and make money. She was very very gentle, patient and kind towards someone like me .. and so was Tracey. What I loved about Dr Sharma was that she didn't look at my phobia as me being overdramatic.. but she truly empathized with my trauma. She was just lovely . I'm feeling better than before- I was having 10/10 pain that radiated towards my head and ears .. Dr Sharma also gave really good aftercare advice and I'm really glad I came across this clinic. Would recommend to fellow dental phobes..
Just one recommendation- it would really be nice if someday you guys could introduce gas/oral sedation at least .. not a biggie but definitely could help patients who need to get the "edge" out of their treatments.

Amazingly service with attention to detail. The Cleaning and examination was done clinically and accurately with no hidden charges. Preventive measures were suggested and the overall approach was a great experience
Howick dental were very friendly and efficient and did a great job looking after my teeth, also giving me good advice on how I need to be looking after them. I would highly recommend them, Kiri was fabulous.
My 7 year old son had chipped his front tooth and was hesitant to get it sorted because of a bad experience with a rude school dental nurse. The team however made this experience amazing and he was eager to go back anytime. They also did a fantastic job repairing the chip. Thank you! 5 stars from my son
Was very pleased with the dental treatment received from howick dental clinic, performed a thorough clean and full check up. Will be back again. Thanks again
I am incredibly grateful to Dr Himani and her team for the urgent care I received. Despite being in significant pain from a dental infection, they made time to see me on short notice and treated me with such compassion. Just two days later, the pain was completely gone, and I’m feeling back to normal. Their expertise and kindness truly made a difference. Looking forward to going back for part two of my Root Canal treatment. Highly recommend!
Great expertise, pragmatic approach without cutting corners, super friendly staff all round. I highly recommend.
This dentist was the best i have been to . She was skilled and has a lovely manner which put me at ease. The pricing and options were fully explained . I fully recommend her especially to nervous patients.
Dr Sharma is really friendly and knowledgeable and makes you feel comfortable throughout the appointment.
Hi it was really nice experience of my husband's dental treatment. He was suffering from last 2 months but finally we came at best place. I would like to share that specially Doctor and staff's dealing is very caring and friendly . I strongly recommend this place to every near and dear.

I have got one surgical extraction done here by Dr. Himani, her experience and behaviour really made things easy for me during my extraction. Highly recommend to go Howick dental surgery,, even staff is well- trained and cooperative .
A great experience with Dr. Livelier. Super friendly, she explained everything well, and did a excellent job with the scale and polish. Thank you 🙂
The team are very warm and welcoming, I felt safe and comfortable through my fillings. Would 100% recommend
My wife received excellent service from this surgery this week after experiencing a problem on the weekend. The service received was exemplary. We are heading overseas tomorrow, and the potential problem is now resolved. Grateful thanks to Dr Sharma.
Fantastic Dentist Kiri always makes me feel more relaxed. I get very nervous, thank you, Howick Dentist
Warm welcome. Very good pre and post dental treatment from an excellent dentist and dental assistant. Caring and friendly attitude displayed throughout the procedure.
I went to Howick dental for a hygienist appointment. Fabulous experience and pain free. I love how clean my teeth are and I was very impressed with the way in which the whole procedure and my oral health was clearly explained to me. Highly recommend.
I appreciate that Anugi's Doctor was so kind and did the treatment careful and she explained everything very well.
Thank you Doctor and Team.❤️
Thank you Doctor and Team.❤️
Very professional and provided valuable suggestion to me. Price is reasonable. Highly recommended Howick Dental Surgery.
Quick dentist appointment, good price. One of the nicest ladies to talk to there
Dr Himani is very gentle when treating my teeth. She made me feel less nervous and give out the best advice needed for healthier teeth. Would recommend to my friends and family
I came in today for a toothache and was nervous as I’ve been traumatised from past dental experiences. Himani made me feel very comfortable and safe. I’ve been around to a few dental clinics and have always been judged. So I’m grateful I’ve found a dentist that I feel comfortable enough to come back to. Thanks team!
Really had the best care I've ever received, thank you so much . Very friendly staff members. Thank you all .
Dr Kiri and her team are courteous, understanding and friendly. Really gentle and thorough. Thank you!
My first visit here and I was happy and satisfied. I highly would recommend Dr. Sharma and her friendly team.
Himani and Sarab are the lovely couple who owns this practice. While Himani is a very knowledgeable dentist who treats every patient with empathy and has a great clinical knowledge. She makes sure the entire procedure is done at ease and never rushed into it. My experience with them was absolutely fabulous. Sarab runs the admin side of things and makes sure that the patient leaves the place with a happy smile 😊 This clinic truely felt homely and the staff are super friendly and helpful. I highly recommend this clinic for anyone who ‘s needing dental treatment at a very affordable price . Thank you Himani and Sarab and I wish you guys all the very best❤️
I am so impressed with their service and able to book appointment in a short period of time~ will definitely go back again for my future dental appointment.
I have been going to Howick Dental Surgery for a couple of years now. Dr Himani and her team are thorough professionals, they offer excelent service with a friendly smile. They have their patient's best interest at heart and offer impartial advice. I have no hesitation in highly recommend them!!
Dr Himani was really kind. It was my first dental visit in over 10 years. She made me feel comfortable and really kind. I will definitely be back and would always ask for Dr Himani
Well whoever really wants to go to the dentist ? , but all jokes aside , the lady dentist i see is personable & friendly & lets me know what the issues are , doesn’t pressure me to have expensive work unless absolutely necessary , so yep , all in all , a pretty good outfit

Friendly and efficient, Kiri Wakefield is an excellent dentist. I especially loved the white powder treatment which painlessly made my teeth two shades whiter. I have no hesitation in warmly recommending Kiri for all your dental work.
A great experience. I was worried as I have sensitive teeth but it was gentle and I felt relaxed.
It's the best place to have a perfect cleaning Highly recommend. I will come every six months for my cleaning they really look after your teeth. Dr Kiri is very smart and Professional 🤩
I called up to do a filling as my daughter had a fall and chipped her adult tooth. They managed to book us in the next day. Kerrie was great as she explained to me daughter what she was going to do and it was a relief for my daughter as she was a bit nervous about it beforehand.
I had a general check up with Lizelle - a dentist I had not had before. She was really good, competent and explained things really well. She gave me options for a cracked tooth. I then had a follow up appointment and she again was highly efficient, friendly and did a fantastic job. Would highly recommend her.
Great service. Highly recommend Howick dental.
Very professional to treat patients

The dentist that assisted with fixing up my son's teeth was friendly and proficient. My son says definitely worth the 5 stars rating. Highly recommended.
Great experience overall. No complaints whatsoever.
Dr Lizelle was very calm and clear on making me understand what the issues were what the best action would be. Both Dr Lizelle and Dr Himani were very gentle throughout the tooth removal procedure. I had minimal to no pain post procedure even after the anaesthetic wore off. I was off painkillers after two days. That in itself speaks highly of their skill and expertise. All the other staff always welcome you with a smile and make sure the whole experience is a pleasant one.

It is a definitely excellent dentist surgery. Two times I extracted one wisdeom tooth and one another bad tooth. Everything was going smoothly and each time it cost 30min. Dr. HIMANI SHARMA is nice and an expert.
Dr Lizelle so far has been the best dentist i have come across. Did an excellent job with teeth clean, scale and polish. Great advise on teeth care. Highly recommend Dr Lizelle!!!
Very happy with the service I get. Highly-qualified staff. Highly recommended.
I just had the best scale and polish with Dr Himani, she was so jentle that made it painless for me. The dental assistant was so kind and caring too.

Thank you.
Walking into the reception area had a serene and warm welcome feeling a beautiful view overlooking the baby blue ocean side. My son needed urgent removal of his tooth as it was decayed. My husband called HDS, they gave us a booking with an hour.
Excellent assistance, advice and explanation was provided to us by Dr Borges upon meeting us. She very carefully and professionally extracted my sons baby tooth and was indeed very patient and gentle with him. She explained the costing before starting the extraction, she mentioned $70 for consult and $50 for baby tooth extraction. I agreed to the pricing and was happy that it didn't cost a fortune, I even inquired about having my teeth cleaned as I was happy with the service and pricing, Dr Borges mentioned it would cost about $150 and they could be cheaper deals.
However upon payment at the receptionist he charged me $150 for my sons extraction(I mentioned the doctor said it's $120, he said its $150) I then asked him about the cleaning and he mentioned $199...I wasn't to happy with that. There is clearly some miscommunication.
Nevertheless, highly recommended, as they assisted when other dental care services couldn't!

Great service and staff. I had my wisdom tooth removal by Dr Hemani , she operated very well , professionally and made sure i was comfortable . I highly suggest this place for any dental issue .
The staff are very warm and gentle. The children did not feel very scared. Recommended👍👍👍
The dentist tried to sell me an unnecessary procedure of $6000 over a cheaper alternative option for $300. Turns out I didn’t even need the expensive procedure. Lucky I was firm with my choice and chose the 20 times cheaper alternative despite her trying a few times to convince me to choose the expensive option. Her friendly/bubbly and warm demeanor for the last 15 minutes quickly turned to neutral once I made my choice to go the cheaper alternative. But hey we all know that some dental and medical doctors like to perform unnecessary procedures just to pocket extra cash, just gotta keep a look out and know when to say no. The procedure itself was okay but still 1 star because imagine the number of people that’s been ripped off here buying her $6000 procedure when they didn’t even need it.
I get nervous going to the dentist but Dr Himani's gentle and empathetic nature has eased that since my first check up a few years ago.
I’ve had a great experience at Howick Dental Surgery. The staff are professional and friendly, making each visit stress-free. Dr. Himani Sharma is thorough and attentive, ensuring I’m comfortable and informed about every procedure. The clinic is clean and well-equipped with the latest technology. Highly recommend for anyone looking for top-notch dental care!
Awesome service.. got my fillings done.. it was a painless treatment.. thank you to the whole team
I visited Himani again today with a serious tooth issue. Again she was extremely caring, competent and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Howick Dental Surgery as being a very professional practice
I found the whole experience a positive one. The next step in my dental care was clearly explain and I certainly felt part of the discussion that was agreed upon.
Pam was very thorough and good at her job as a Hygienist. Pleasant clean clinic, easy parking and great communications from the staff.
Had a clean with the hygenist today. Gentle, quick service with plenty of stops to maintain comfort. Recommend!
I had an accident in highland park. Middlemore hospital given me initial treatment. Two of my teeth pushed in because of accident. I had a very good experience at Howick Dental Surgery. Dr Himani is great. Highly recommended. She has fixed my loose tooth. Now I am out of pain. Thanks Howick dental team.
Himani gave me the most amazing help, with patience & advice.
Many recommendations for this surgery and their understanding & courteous staff.

I returned from overseas trip and needed urgent molar extraction after an abscess formed under a tooth. With no available appointment slots due to staff shortages they elected to slot me in during their much needed lunch break and performed an extraction. I am very grateful for the extraction as it provided instant relief to a rapidly worsening infection. Thanks again to Himani and Sarab.
Great dental surgery clinic very friendly an professional. Highly recommended 😊
highly recommend, best dentist in town,excellent service and exceptional care!
Great fast service in under one hour following an urgent call for help.

Amazing team here! Would recommend to everyone! Great service and very Friendly staff, will be back soon!
Doctor Kiri is such an accomplished Dentist. I have been lucky enough to have her as my dentist for a number of years now.She is always totally engaged with the task at hand which is very reassuring.Her expertise is evident in every procedure and she can be relied upon for her informed and trusted advice.
Right from a warm welcome on a very frosty morning to leaving all the staff were friendly, informative and had my well being as the number one priority.
Dentistry has changed so much with numbing gel on gums before the anaesthetic was given. No pain felt at all while filling replaced.
Would highly recommend Howick Dentistry especially if you’re a bit anxious about the procedures. They really look after you !

My second time visiting Howick dental surgery and both times I’ve received amazing service and walked out feeling very confident with my teeth.
Fabulous first appointment at Howick Dental Surgery, great communication, reasonable pricing, and very welcoming.
Lovely experience. Staff are a delight. Went in for a clean and check up, happy with service that I’m coming back for my filling. Thank you Howick dental
Lovely interactions with the staff, & great communication throughout, from the booking until the end of my appointment!
This dental practice is good. I rang them out of the blue to get my teeth cleaned. I had not had my teeth cleaned in over a year, as I had jaw surgery last year. They were very meticulous. Obviously it’s slightly unpleasant, given the nature of the service, but the dentist was patient and kind, giving me breaks as needed. My teeth look a lot better now and I will be returning in six months for another clean. The receptionist is also very nice. My first visit here and I was happy.
Highly recommended. I am a visitor to NZ. I have extreme tooth pain on Saturday night. Howick dental team has provided me emergency dental appointment on Sunday. Dentist has performed 2 extractions. Explained me well before and after extraction care. If you need emergency dental care in Auckland. Please do visit Howick dental surgery for A+ dental care, the address is 6 Walter macdonald Street howick. Or call 095347465.

This is by far the best dental practice! They are always really helpful and practical. The dentists are really good and reasonable in their advise - not like other dentists i have seen who just want more buisness.

Amazing service. Such a friendly bunch of staff who were just awesome. Highly recommend them. Thank you everyone 🙂
The staff at Howick Dental Surgery are all so lovely, welcoming and great at what they do. There is never any judgement, and they are very transparent about what needs to be done, cost and procedure process. I look forward to being a long time patient of theirs!
Because we are international students and our English is not good, the doctor communicated with us very patiently and really treated the tooth pain problem!
I was terrified (long term fear) and I was dealt with with genuine care It was a difficult procedure and I was checked on constantly to make sure I was ok. I will be going back for more treatment and would highly recommend to anyone.
Very Friendly, excellent and good professional service. Very pleased. Well informed.
Great experience at Howick Dental Surgery. Himani and her team were fabulous.
Had to attend Howick Dental clinic for an emergency chipped tooth which was beautifully fixed. Dr. Himani was patient at every step and despite of emergency squeeze in, she answered all my questions regarding Invisalign treatment in such a detailed way as no other dentist I had visited before in Australia had done. She had put all my anxiety at ease and I am so excited to start my Invisalign with her. Her way of approaching my problem itself spoke of the experience and detailed approach she has about dentistry. Highly recommend.
I visited first time there for my son teeth injury but the staff and doctors are so cooperative and completely acceptable behaviour…Thanku so much for your services
Lizelle was very efficient, kind and careful. Couldn't have had a better appointment.
My daughter had the first appointment with them. Even though we arrived late, they accepted her nicely and checked her efficiently. Very friendly staff with smiles. Thank you!
Have been going to Kiri for years and love her gentle approach and thorough job without over complicating any treatments
My daughter is 9 years old, she had an appointment to have three baby teeth extracted for orthodontic purposes. Dr Sharma and her assistant (I'm sorry I've forgotten her name) were absolutely wonderful. Everything went very smoothly. I asked my daughter how she would rate her experience. Her response, "If I could give then ten stars I would!". Thanks team! Will see you again for sure 👍
Great communication and professionalism.

can't say enough good things about Howick Dental Surgery! I was in excruciating pain due to a severe infection over the weekend, and no other dentist was open. Fortunately, I found Howick Dental Surgery online and was able to book an appointment at 2:30 am on a Saturday for Sunday morning.
From the moment I arrived, both the receptionist and the doctor were incredibly nice and helpful. They quickly assessed my situation and performed a tooth extraction. They also provided me with the required medication to manage the infection.
What truly sets Howick Dental Surgery apart is their exceptional dedication to patient care. Later that night, around 9 pm, I was still in significant pain and called them, despite it being well after their working hours. The doctor not only took my call but also went to the clinic to send a prescription to the pharmacy for me. This level of service is unheard of in New Zealand!
If you're looking for a dentist who genuinely cares about their patients and goes above and beyond, I highly recommend Howick Dental Surgery. Thank you for your outstanding service!
From the moment I arrived, both the receptionist and the doctor were incredibly nice and helpful. They quickly assessed my situation and performed a tooth extraction. They also provided me with the required medication to manage the infection.

Awesome dentists and hygienist! My scale and polish is always amazing. Husband had an extraction, easy and affordable process. Highly recommend.
Dr Kiri Wakefield is very factual and straightforward in her descriptions of what's happening and what the options are for treatment. I also really appreciate the way she accommodates budgetary considerations by ranking things "do now", "do sometime in the next few months" and "this can wait". I appreciate her respectful manner and the care she takes doing her job.
From the time you walk in you feel welcome. They’ve recently renovated the reception area - it’s spacious and very clean. Kiri, is great! She is very friendly, thorough and explains what she is doing and why. I highly recommend her!

Very Happy with my Appointment today, right on time, Pain free, I will be back next year
I urgently needed a dentist to remove my wisdom teeth due to extreme pain, they were able to fit me in quickly for a consult a week ago and were professional, kind and clean. I have just had my teeth removed today and Dr Himani was so lovely and made me feel at ease, explained everything clearly and was gentle. Definitely recommend.
I had been a client of local dentists Hunter McEwan for many years and was very dissatisfied with the people who took over. Howick Dental Surgery delivered great service and a plan going forward.
Excellent Dentist, she takes great care of my sensitive teeth. Love the new look reception area, much more relaxing and modern. Great teamwork, keep it up you deserve to do well.
My first time at Howick Dental Surgery. It was an smazing experience with Dr Himami Sharma is a wonderful and friendly Doctor. I didn't have an appointment but was accommodated between her tight schedule for a check up and for the extraction procedure. Also the assistant to the doctor was a friendly and lovely person.👍
Very friendly service. Explained the whole process and even gave me a tour of the machine to make the crown that they were putting in. Well recommended!!
Excellent professional and gentle. Glad to have found a dentist I can trust and keep up regular checkups with.
My daughter had to have 4 teeth removed for the stage of her braces, she is 12 and was obviously nervous but the dentist and the assistant went above and beyond to make sure she knew what was happening ever step of the way, they held her hand and wiped the few tears she had away.
I could not recommend this place more to parents for kids facing extractions.
5 stars from start to finish

I've been going to Howick Dental for over forty years. It's always had great professional service and the current dentists are no exception. The yearly check-ups are no fuss and when more major work is required, I always feel confident they know their stuff and we get great results. I believe they always charge the correct amount also for the service you get. Nice to still have all my teeth in my sixties. Thanks Kiri
Very good service, the dentists were extremely friendly. Their work was unbelievably professionally, cleaned and checked up super quickly. Now my teeth are looking so beautiful, so elegant, just looking like a wow.

From the moment we walked into the clinic, the warm and welcoming atmosphere put us at ease.
