Millwater Dental

We realise that everyone is different!
This Comprehensive Care appointment is more than just a “check-up”.  We thoroughly assess your whole mouth for oral cancer, gum disease and analyse how your jaw functions. We will examine your teeth and advise you of your levels of caries (decay) risk. We will also take any other necessary aides to help diagnose your oral condition. This may include digital scans of your teeth and jawbones, photos, study models of your teeth and maybe even test your saliva for levels of acid and bad bacteria if necessary.
All this information will give us a better understanding of your concerns and needs, so that we can design your individualised treatment plan for your long term oral health. This is the beginning of the long term relationship of oral care that we wish to start with you.

Changing Faces: Millwater Dental
The new owner of Millwater Dental on Millwater Parkway, Dr Jason Ng, has many strings to his bow.
As well as being a NZ registered dentist, he is an international trainer and clinical lecturer for Align Technology, an international karate judge and referee, and a classically trained pianist.
Dr Ng took over the Millwater practice from Dr Sanjay Namburi at the start of the Covid-19 Level 4 lockdown last month.
He says although the timing wasn’t ideal, he has spent the downtime re-doing the website, getting to know the practices’ systems and preparing for its re-opening.
“You have to look for a silver lining,” he says. “We had to wait and see how and when we could open and we are excited to be able to open at level 2. I’m part of a worldwide group that has been talking about some of the issues relating to the current pandemic and every country is approaching it differently. It will take common-sense and good treatment protocols, something that dentists are used to practising, given that we already treat people with existing medical conditions.
After graduating from Otago University, Dr Ng worked overseas in Asia and Europe. He returned in 1994 and became a partner at the Titirangi Dental Centre where he developed a busy family practice with an emphasis on providing quality long-term dental solutions.
“We will be providing the same high level for care at Millwater,” he says.
Working alongside him will be dentist Dr Lillian Hsu and an oral health therapist and hygienist.
“What attracted me to Millwater was that it’s a great community and the practice is part of a medical hub. We will not just provide the full range of dental care for the whole family but also more specialised care, from orthodontic teeth straightening to comprehensive reconstructive work.
“My passion lies in the use of digital dentistry to provide aesthetic, minimally invasive, long-term restorative solutions, and orthodontics. These branches of dentistry complement and integrate together to provide healthy, functional and beautiful smiles with a holistic approach for patients.”
​Dr Ng is the current chair of Auckland and Northland region for Karate New Zeeland and still teaches at a dojo in New Lynn. Last year he competed in the veterans section of the national championships, finishing second.
