AFFORDABLE, QUALITY DENTAL CARE
Here at Tooth Fairy Dental in Bethlehem, Mt Maunganui, Papamoa and Te Puke, we understand dental treatment can be expensive especially if you haven’t been for a while. We strive to keep our dentist fees affordable and competitive without compromising on quality. Unlike many dental practices, we don’t charge a sterilisation fee. With multiple Bay of Plenty locations we are able to bulk buy and pass on our savings. We also follow the ‘family test’ where we won’t propose any dental treatment we wouldn’t be happy to perform on our own family.
