It’s the first time in his 12 years of dental practice that Spencer Lee has had his own clinic – and he’s determined to get it right.
Spencer and his wife, practice manager Jayne, opened Hibiscus Care Dental at 674 Whangaparāoa Road (next to the Copy Centre) a month ago.
The couple, who live in Gulf Harbour, have taken over a long established practice and given everything a makeover. The clinic has been refurbished from top to toe. State of the art equipment, including a CT head scanner, has been installed. There is also a negative pressure filter cleaning the air for extra confidence around Covid-19.
High tech equipment looks the part, but more importantly it assists with accurate diagnosis and treatment.
Additional training means that as well as all the usual dental care and procedures, Spencer can provide orthodontics, implants and IV sedation. He also offers functional and aesthetic Botox treatment – particularly for things like jaw pain.
Listening to patients is key, Spencer says. He spends time talking with, and educating people about caring for their mouth health.
That may include providing advice about things such as diet, jaw health and correct cleaning of the teeth, specific to each patient’s needs.
“Dentistry has evolved and prevention is a much bigger part of it now,” he says. “It’s also a lot more gentle and patient-friendly. Our motto is “passion for your smile” – which is not only about caring for teeth, but wanting to see patients happy and smiling.”
