Did you know you can see a dental hygienist without a dentist’s referral? At Mint Dental Hygiene in Takapuna, we believe access to oral care should be simple, personal, and preventative – not dependent on a gatekeeper.

We welcome patients directly, whether you're due for a routine clean, concerned about bleeding gums, managing braces or implants, or simply want brighter teeth.

Modern dental hygiene is about far more than a quick polish. Research shows strong links between gum disease and systemic health, including heart disease, diabetes and pregnancy complications. That’s why we focus on prevention, early detection, and gentle, evidence-based care.

Our services range from standard maintenance to deep periodontal cleaning, with tailored support for children, pregnant women, orthodontic patients, and those with implants. We use non-abrasive techniques for implant care, and provide detailed reports to your own dentist when needed, so you remain fully in control of your care.

We also offer low-level laser therapy for gum inflammation, desensitising treatments, and both in-chair and take-home whitening options for a safe, effective glow.

For those wanting consistent care, our simple membership plan includes regular hygiene visits and savings on additional treatments, making it easier to prioritise your health without surprise costs.

Taking care of your mouth shouldn’t be complicated. We’re here to make it simple.
