We are Switch Dental, a dental practice serving patients in Lower Hutt for over 50 years. Our mission: To empower patients to make informed decisions about their dental health.
This is an amazing Dental Practice. The team at reception are friendly, warm and informative on the phone and in person. Alex, who was my consultant dentist was brilliant. He spent a lot of time with me explaining my options, writing it down for me, illustrating what he meant with pictures while the x-ray was on the screen in front of us. I came away from the consultation informed, reassured and clear about my options going forward. There was no pressure only professional guidance that was delivered in a warm, unhurried and kind manner. This Dental Practice work as a team to deliver the best results for their patients. I highly recommend it.

Had an awesome experience during a root canal procedure done by Matt. I haven't had good experiences with a previous dentist before and was really worried. This time, maximum care, minimum pain and gentle recovery. Cannot recommend Matt highly enough.The other staff at Switch are lovely too. All round, a wonderful practice.

We were recommended to come see Graeme Yee from our previous dentist and we were very grateful for the recommendation. We have even followed Graeme from his last practice to Switch Dental. He has been excellent for us and our kids, both professionally and with his humorous manner. And the contact from Switch dental has also been excellent in terms of appointment availability and reminders. Durrah Rosli is also an excellent and informative hygienist. All round a great team.

Amazing experience at Switch Dental. I was looked after by Alex. He was attentive and informed me after all the xrays about my dental health. Super happy that I chose to switch to Switch dental (pun intended) haha, from a previous dentist that I went to. Switch has modern technology and a 360 xray machine (I don’t remember the technical name).The costs were upfront and I had options to chose what I wanted to do which was important.Thank you 🙏

Alex was an amazing dentist and super informative! I had some wisdom tooth worries but after an x-ray and consultation session, he clearly explained to me in detail about what’s currently happening, what may happen in the future, and my options today, along with his recommendations on what to do next. I would highly recommend!

Having grown up in the 60's,where a trip to the dentist was akin to visiting a house of horrors for myself and other kids, and the dentist ,for me ,was on the same level of terror as Boris Karloff, Bela Lagosi or Vincent Price, it is today an enjoyable experience thank to the wonderful treatment i receive when visiting Switch Dental.Graeme , his assistant and receptionists do everything possible to make you feel welcome and the dental work I receive is of the highest standard.I cannot recommend them more highly.

Before I dreaded going to the Dentist- now I not only don't dread it, I look forward to seeing our Switch family again. I know they will do everything possible to make my visit stressfree. Using modern tech. and the newest research, with a traditional community approach to care and communication , Alex and co.make me feel I am in a safe pair of hands.My teeth have never looked or felt this good. I no longer put off going to the Dentist as it no longer scares me....and I also think the staff are lovely!

I recently had my dental cleaning at Switch Dental, and I must say that their service exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend Switch Dental to my families and friends.The hygienist, Durrah, was incredibly thorough and meticulous in her work. She took the time to explain each step of the cleaning process, making sure I understood what was happening and addressing any concerns I had. Her attention to detail was impressive, and I felt like my oral health was in the best hands.I also want to praise the front desk. The front desk staff are warm and welcome. When I arrived the office, They had all the necessary forms ready for me, and patiently guided me through the process, ensuring that I understood everything. They made sure I felt comfortable and answered all my questions with a smile. I also appreciated their excellent communication skills. They promptly reminded me of my upcoming appointment and followed up with any necessary information. Their ability to handle multiple tasks while maintaining a positive attitude truly impressed me.I highly recommend Switch Dental to anyone in need of dental care. Their dedication for work and warm atmosphere make my dental visit become such a pleasant one.

I’d definitely recommend coming here, everyone was so welcoming and helpful. I’m normally so anxious going into a dental clinic, but Switch Dental is hands down my best experience. The dentist (Alex) who saw me, was so awesome and explained in detail, options to help with the concerns I had, regarding my teeth. Very happy!!

Longer review below but the bottom line is: Alex and the team at Switch Dental are excellent. Really clear communication and I understood the rationale for everything and felt involved and informed in my treatment - thanks largely to Alex's explanation. All of the staff's bedside manner (or chair-side in the case of a dentist) was brilliant!-------I was undergoing Invisalign treatment at a different orthodontic practice and they recommended seeing a dentist for a check-up. Got a detailed examination, X-ray and then a sit-down conversation with Alex about options going forward. He walked me through potential options, drawing clear diagrams for each option and expected outcomes - using the diagrams, X-rays and photos he'd taken to help explain it all.I had time to go and think about it and decided to go ahead with a crown. The team were able to coordinate the timing of my crown so that it would fit with my final scans on completing Invisalign and moving to retainers. The process of making the crown was pretty impressively hi-tech and you can even watch the crown be made in their offices.I had some issues with sensitivity after (which is of course expected, and just a little prolonged in my case). I mentioned this to them and they were very accommodating in getting me in for an X-ray and re-examination to make sure nothing had gone wrong. I told Alex the types of things that would set it off (very hot and very cold with a short period of sensitivity after) as well as the fact that it was more sensitive at the front of the tooth than the back. He was able to look, take photos and explain exactly why it was happening. Either it would get better on its own, and if not, they had a strategy to fix it. Thankfully my tooth was just taking a little longer to recover than normal but it has continued to improve as he said it would, and the reassurance provided by the follow-up was greatly appreciated.Additionally, I've been to two separate dental hygienists there and it's been by far and away the best experience for someone who normally hates the scraping and tugging.

I have been coming to Switch Dentist in Lower Hutt for some years. I have had several crowns inserted and this time I am having one made in the clinic while I wait. This is helpful as it saves another visit 2 or 3 weeks after a gagging impression is taken by the dentist! This dental practice is right up to date and making dental visits less troublesome. Thanks Switch and especially Dr Bahho.

I'm from the generation of kids that refered to the Dentist, as the murder house.Many years later some serious pain required a visit to a dentist. After searching the phone book I called Switch Dental in Lower Hutt.I had an appointment set to see Matt. On arrival the reception team were amazing, I instantly felt relaxed and welcomed.When I got to the chair, Matt had this amazing, calming approach. He explained what was needed, and went to work.By the time it was over, I was relaxed, felt no pain, amazed I went home and told my partner, Prue of my experience, a short time later she changed dentist and is also now with Switch. She tells her friends aswell, and is taking our neighbor to Switch after some rough treatment from her Dentist.The entire team at Switch are Amazing.

My first time back in a dental chair in roughly 20 years. I had put this off for various reasons but couldn't any longer as my teeth had worsened over time. If the Service I received today was around 20 years ago I probably wouldn't have any issues today. Alex was amazing and very thorough discussing all the options available to me so I could make a decision that best suits me without any pressure whatsoever. Such a friendly atmosphere as well.

In the past I have had some bad experiences at the dentist. I was in a position to get some remedial work done and started looking for a new dentist. I sought lots of recommendations and decided to go and visit a couple of dental surgeries before making an appointment. I met Daphne at the reception at Switch Dental she was really calm and friendly. I was able to meet my dentist Alex prior to having an appointment and I haven't looked back. All of the staff, including the other dentist Matt (who undertook some emergency dentistry for me) are professional, friendly and understand that going to the dentist can be stressful and anxiety inducing. I now recommend them to everyone. The actual dentistry is also superb and pretty reasonably priced. Very happy.
