We’re known for our gentle, understanding approach — especially for patients who feel nervous, anxious, or have had difficult dental experiences in the past.
Your appointment includes a detailed assessment of your teeth, gums, bite, jaw joints, soft tissues, and overall oral health — never a rushed check-up.
We explain what we see in plain English, talk through your options clearly, and give you the time and space to decide what feels right for you.
Our clinicians have advanced training in restorative, cosmetic, implant, and preventative dentistry, with decades of combined experience.
If you’re anxious, we move at your pace. Sedation options are available for patients who need additional support to feel comfortable.
We use digital X-rays, clinical photography, and advanced 3D mouth scanning to give you a complete picture of your oral health.
At Hoburne Dental Practice, we believe your first appointment should be thorough, calm, and informative — never rushed.
Hoburne Dental Practice is conveniently located in Christchurch with ground-floor access, disabled facilities, and nearby parking.
Whether you’re visiting before work, during the day, or fitting appointments around family life, we aim to make dental care as accessible and stress-free as possible.

Your first appointment usually takes around 45–60 minutes. This gives us enough time to listen to your concerns, carry out a detailed assessment, take any necessary X-rays, and discuss our findings with you properly — without rushing.
In most cases, yes. We typically take two small digital X-rays to check the areas between your back teeth. If a specific tooth needs further investigation, we may take an additional X-ray to assess the full tooth and root structure. Any imaging is only taken where clinically necessary.
Once your assessment is complete, we’ll sit you up and clearly explain everything we’ve found in plain English. If treatment is straightforward, we can usually provide an estimate and help you book your next visit before you leave. For more complex cases, we may arrange a second appointment to carefully prepare a detailed treatment plan.
