Free off-street parkingPlenty of easy parking on site

Maybe a tooth has started twinging every time you drink something cold. Maybe a filling came loose on a muesli bar and you've been chewing on the other side ever since. Or maybe it's your smile you keep noticing: teeth that have crowded up over the years, or a teenager who's stopped smiling in photos. That's what we're here for. Check-ups, fillings, braces and clear aligners all happen under one roof on Manukau Road, with the same team who know your history. Call 09 524 5056 and we'll find you the soonest time we can.

Why Epsom families choose us

One practice, every treatment

Check-ups, hygiene, braces, whitening, emergencies, the kids. When something bigger comes up, we deal with it here instead of sending you across town to a specialist you've never met.

Local, familiar faces since 2005

Family-owned by Dr Nic and Jacqui, on Manukau Road for two decades. Many of our families come from Epsom Normal Primary and schools nearby.

Tell us what's bothering you and we'll lay out your options and what each one costs before we pick up a drill. What you do with that is up to you.

Central Epsom, easy parking

We're minutes from Newmarket, Remuera and Greenlane, and the free off-street parking means you're not starting the appointment already wound up about finding a space.

What our Alpers patients say

General Dentistry in Epsom

Most of what we do is the ordinary stuff: a check-up that's slipped, teeth that could use a look. If it's been two or three years, honestly, join the club. You won't get a lecture from anyone here.

Sitting at the Newmarket end of Manukau Road, we're easy to fit into a lunch break or the drive home. And because you tend to get the same dentist each time, with your history in front of them, the little problems get caught while they're still little and cheap.

Check-ups, fillings, gum care, bad breath, mouthguards for the winter season. Whatever turns up, we'll walk you through it before anything gets done.

Cosmetic Dentistry in Epsom

It's usually a photo that does it. You catch your smile and wish it sat a bit differently. If your teeth are making you hold back, that's reason enough to come in and talk.

We start with honest advice. Plenty of the time a good whitening is all a smile needs, and we'll say so before anyone brings up veneers. This is your family dentist handing you a plan, not a studio trying to sell you a whole new mouth.

We offer teeth whitening and dental veneers, planned around your face and your budget. Every option comes with a straight answer about what it will and won't change.

Orthodontics in Epsom

Maybe it's crowding. Maybe a bite that's slowly drifting, or a teenager who's stopped smiling with their teeth. Straightening is a real investment, and the tricky part is usually deciding who to trust with it.

We've done this for Epsom teenagers and for plenty of adults who decided it was finally their turn. Because everything's in one place, your braces or aligners run alongside your normal check-ups, same team, same records. You won't get sent across town to start over with a stranger.

We do early treatment for younger kids, and braces, clear aligners and retainers for everyone else. Already partway through somewhere else and having doubts? The second opinion is free, and so is the virtual consult: send a few photos through and we'll take a look without you booking a thing.

Dental Clinic Services in Epsom

Some of what we treat doesn't look dental at first. A jaw that clicks, headaches that turn up like clockwork, snoring that's sent your partner to the spare room. It often traces back to the mouth, and it can usually be sorted.

Clenching and grinding are everywhere among the busy Epsom and Newmarket crowd, and hardly anyone links it to their headaches. Since we're looking at your teeth regularly anyway, we tend to spot the wear before you've said a word.

We handle TMJ and jaw trouble, help with snoring and sleep apnoea, and offer injectables. Injectables can relax the jaw muscles behind clenching and grinding, and they're also used to soften lines around the face. If it needs someone more specialised than us, we'll say so and point you to the right person.

Children's Dentist in Epsom

Some kids bounce straight in. Most don't. If getting yours into the chair feels like a hostage negotiation, you're in good company, and it's pretty much why we set the place up the way we did.

A lot of our families come from schools like Epsom Normal Primary, and plenty of the parents were sitting in this chair themselves twenty years ago. We look after whole families, kids through to grandparents, so yours grows up around people they actually know.

First visits are slow and low-key. We let them hold the mirror, count their teeth, have a bit of a laugh, and save the real dentistry for once they've settled. The point isn't only today's check-up. It's a grown-up who doesn't dread this place.

Emergency Dentist in Epsom

Dental pain has terrible timing. It's the tooth that cracks on a Saturday, or the ache that's ruined your week by Wednesday. When that's you, a booking in two weeks is no use at all, so we keep slots open every day for people who need seeing now.

A lot of these are sports knocks. Rugby and netball around the Epsom fields and Cornwall Park go through spells where we're seeing a chipped front tooth most weeks. The rest are usually Newmarket office workers who can't take a day off to sit with a sore molar.

Call 09 524 5056 and we'll fit you in as fast as we can. First job is getting you out of pain. After that we'll work out what actually happened and what to do about it.

Teeth Whitening in Epsom

Coffee, red wine, and twenty-odd years of both. That's usually all it takes for teeth to go dull. Whitening is the quickest and cheapest way to freshen a smile back up.

The supermarket kits and mall whitening stalls can be rough on enamel and hit-and-miss on results. Done here, it's matched to your own teeth and checked against your history first, so any fillings, crowns or sensitive spots get accounted for before we start.

We do professional whitening with take-home trays, and we'll tell you upfront what shade change is actually realistic. If it isn't going to get you where you want, you'll hear that before you've spent a cent.

Dental Hygienist in Epsom

Gums tend to grumble first. A bit of blood when you brush, maybe that furry feeling by mid-afternoon. Caught early, it's one of the easiest things to turn around.

From a patient review: it was their first ever professional clean and they came in nervous, expecting it to hurt. They felt no pain or discomfort the whole way through, without any anaesthetic, and were so relaxed they nearly fell asleep in the chair. They said it completely changed how they feel about hygiene visits.

A thorough scale and clean, a gum health check, and some honest coaching on the unglamorous habits that actually keep your gums healthy.

Common questions

Good to know before you book

Is Alpers Dental accepting new patients?

Yes, we welcome new patients of all ages, from young children to grandparents. The easiest way to start is our $299 new patient package, or just call us on 09 524 5056 and we'll find a time that suits.

Do you offer same-day emergency appointments?

We keep appointments aside each day for dental emergencies. If you're in pain, have a broken tooth or swelling, call us early on 09 524 5056 and we'll do our best to see you the same day.

Do you provide braces and clear aligners in Epsom?

Yes. We offer clear aligners, modern braces, early orthodontics for children and retainers, plus flexible payment plans. We also provide a free orthodontic second opinion if you're already in treatment elsewhere.

Do you see children?

Absolutely. Many of our families come from local schools like Epsom Normal Primary. We've created a calm, friendly space designed to make children feel at ease and build good habits early.

Is there parking?

Yes, we have plenty of free off-street parking on site, so you won't be circling Manukau Road looking for a space before your appointment. [Parking entry directions to be added]

How much will treatment cost, and can I pay it off?

We'll always explain your options and their cost clearly before starting anything. For larger treatment plans we offer finance options so you can spread the cost within your budget.
