| 1371139 | 2014-03-24 01:18:00 | Mitre 10 no. 2 Linesmans pliers. (kidding but I have an Uncle who really pulled his own teeth with pliers) I Just started going back to the dentist last year, I chose Lumino's because it's close to where I live and work. I'm not sure a cheap dentist would be a great Idea, but I even hear of people going on overseas holidays to get dental work done due to the huge difference in price. And yes it was expensive. |

Appreciate any help Cheers. Define "Cheap"? Most Auckland dentists charge a minimum of $55 just to say "Hi" I think a check up would cost you at least $150 or more. Possibly if you have a community services card you might be able to get a bit less than that but generally Dentist and "cheap" don't belong in the same sentence. |

| 1371142 | 2014-03-24 04:24:00 | Ask for a quote, on a check and then for work required. Lumino are known to be expensive, so seek out a 'one man band' practice in the suburbs. You are the only person who knows what you consider reasonable, and what you can afford. | Richard (739) | ||

No idea of cost though. No. Relief of Pain Clinic at Oral Health Departments Greenlane Clinical Centre, Middlemore Hospital and Buckland Road. What is the Relief of Pain Service? We provide emergency pain relief for dental problems only. We extract one painful tooth per visit or place a temporary dressing, nothing more, so you may still need to see a private dentist afterwards. You will be asked for proof of your NZ residency at the registration desk. What will it cost? $40.00 (except children and referred psychiatric inpatients). This needs to be paid on the day of treatment.
