We are always delighted to welcome new patients to Ashburton Family Dental. On your first visit, we know that you will want to discuss your wants and needs and we will take the time to find these out.

We will discuss your past dental experiences to discover anything we need to learn in relation to your future care. This is a two-way conversation in which we find out your concerns about your mouth. When you are happy that we have discussed all these points, we will then examine your mouth.
