homeA WARNING BEFORE WE START: This web site has an attitude!
This site has lots of information on all sorts of stuff that you won't read on any other NZ dentists site [including some Richard Brautigan poetry!]. So there's lots of reading here - and its not so boring if you want to know about teeth [especially orthodontics] or jaws or snoring. And we really don't care if you never come near our office - the intention of our site is to turn you into a dentally educated person.
O.K. THAT'S OVER - LETS GET STARTED!
Welcome to the Alpers Dental Home Page. Our site has lots of information for you about our dental practice.
If you haven't visited us yet, you may not know that we are a bit different from most dental offices - we not only carry out a full range of restorative and cosmetic dentistry plus full hygienist services, but also we have a special interest in orthodontic treatments and in treating people with jaw joint disorders and those who have airway or snoring problems.
Sarah Cole and Bernard Emerre are our dentists who do all the fillings and cosmetic stuff. Between them they have over 75 years of experience, both in New Zealand and in England. Bernard has also owned a dental office in Germany and has worked in Canada.
Nicolas Anderson is the dentist who is in charge of orthodontic treatments and John Burford treats TMJ disorders and head and neck pains. If you are here and they aren't, its probably because they are taking courses or lecturing at conferences in some part of the world. We consider it is essential to keep current with the always changing knowledge and techniques for these fields of dentistry
But here's a warning - if you don't want to go to a dental office where people are smiling or laughing and generally having a good time - and that includes both staff and patients - then don't come to us. We enjoy our work - and sometimes it shows. We don't apologise for this. We are here to make our patients look good and feel good and that makes us feel good and look good as well!
Browse on - we have lots of information on general dentistry, orthodontics, treatment of jaw problems, and dental treatment for snoring. If you click on any of the words printed in red, then you will take a short cut to that link
Let us know if you can't find the information you want.
