Committed to Accessible Dental Care for Our West Auckland Community

At West Harbour Dental, we believe that everyone deserves access to quality dental care, regardless of their financial situation or circumstances. We are proud to serve our local community in West Harbour, Massey, and Hobsonville by offering a range of accessible services designed to remove barriers to oral health. From free services for teenagers to support for Community Service Card holders and ACC-registered care, we are here to help you and your whānau maintain healthy smiles.

Your oral health is important, and we are committed to making dental care affordable and accessible for everyone in our community.

Barriers to Accessing Dental Care

For many people, the cost of dental care can be a significant barrier. You might be putting off a much-needed check-up or treatment because you’re worried about the expense. If you’re a parent, you might be concerned about affording dental care for your growing teenagers. If you’ve had an accident, you may be unsure about how to access ACC-funded dental treatment or navigate the claims process.

These financial and logistical barriers can lead to delayed treatment, allowing small problems to become serious and painful issues. Everyone deserves the opportunity to maintain good oral health, and we are here to ensure that cost is not a barrier to receiving the care you need.

Oral Health Certificates

Certificates for Denture Clinics

If you are planning to get dentures made at a denture clinic, you will need an oral health certificate from a dentist to confirm that your mouth is healthy and ready for a denture. We provide thorough oral health assessments and can issue the necessary certificate, ensuring your mouth is free from infection, decay, or other issues that could affect your denture.
