You might find it a bit unusual to find Dentistry mentioned on an IT website, but there's a reason: ToothAches wait for no Man.
So knowing about a good dentist beforehand is very important: the process of drilling fills our stomach with dread, and if it's serious the whole thing empties our wallet quite quickly.
Which is the reason it's important to find a dentist that you can trust to do the job cleanly with as little discomfort as possible (nice euphanism for pain), gives you good service for the money, and isn't going to try to squeeze you dry of whatever you have left in your bank account.
I went to another well recommended dentist in Wellington for a frustrating while, before I found Symes/de Silva.
What a difference!
Clean spacious professional setup that was definately not a number-8 job. Yes, it was slightly more expensive than the first one (maybe 10% more or so) but well worth it. First of all, I got answers to my questions (was it so hard to answer my concerns?!?), and I got good, clear, easy to understand advice. And the job was done right.
They have several doctors there so I can't attest for every single one, but if the ones I saw, Dr. Cary Chien (Dental Surgeon) and Charlotte Davies (Hygienist) are anything to go by, you're in good hands.
PS: And if its midnight, they're closed, and you're currently in quite a bit pain, sometime gargling with hot salt water can ease the pain till the morning...Good luck!
