Thank you very much for all your support since we have opened our own Dental Clinic, it is highly appreciated.
For those who have not yet been able, feel the presence of your home in a Dental Clinic. We do understand that waiting for your Dental appointment may not be pleasing for some, hence we chose to convert an entire home only into a Dental clinic so that you can feel the warmth and tranquility of a home surrounded by the presence of the beautiful Lake Panorama.
Having practiced as a Dentist for over 22 years (since 2001 at Mt Roskill and Henderson), I realize that cost is an important factor for my patients, hence as I now own my dental clinic, make use of our free comprehensive check up with quote and 20% of all treatments including X Rays. Our costs are very reasonable.
We also provide:
Free ACC consultations with quote
Free for children under 18 years of age (referral letter may be required for children under 12 ) .
Free WINZ Quotes
.
Open Mondays to Saturdays, situated at 22 Lake Panorama Drive Henderson Heights. Plenty of free on street parking.

A man got a job as a night watchman at a factory. There had been a lot of thefts by the workers on the night shift, and so every morning when the night shift workers passed through his gate, it was his job to check their bags and pockets to make sure that nothing was being stolen.
Things were going along very well the first night on the job until a man pushing a wheelbarrow of newspaper came through his gate.
Aha, he thought, that man thinks he can cover up what he is stealing with that newspaper. So he removed the paper only to find nothing. Still he felt that the man was acting strangely, so he questioned him about the paper.
"I get a little extra money from newspapers I recycle, so I go into the lunchroom and pick up all the ones people have thrown away."
The guard let him pass, but he decided to keep a close eye on him. The next night it was the same, and the night after that. Week after week it went on. The same guy would push the wheelbarrow of newspapers past the guard's checkpoint. The guard would always check and find nothing.
Then one night, about a year later, the guard reported for work only to find a message had been left for him telling him to report to his supervisor. He walked into the supervisor's office and before he could say a word, the boss said, "You're fired!"
"Fired?" he asked in total surprise. "Why? What did I do?"
"It was your job to make sure that no one stole anything from this plant, and you have failed. So you're fired."
"Wait a minute -- what do you mean failed? Nobody ever stole anything from this place while I was on guard."
"Oh, really," the boss answered. "Then how do you account for the fact that there are 365 wheelbarrows missing?"
Study table is in good condition and it has one intermediate shell and 5 drawers. Light weight as well so one can easily load in car.

Changes, which will start coming into effect in 2020, include reinstating the ability for lower-paid workers to bring their families to New Zealand and the introduction of a new employer-led visa framework which will make the application process easier. It also increases the expectation on employers to employ and train more New Zealanders and will reduce the exploitation of temporary foreign workers. Lees-Galloway said the changes would assist between 25,000-30,000 businesses to fill shortages. "The new visa system will require all employers to be accredited and will give employers more certainty about their ability to hire a foreign worker earlier in the application process. "It will also provide the foreign worker with more assurance about the employer they are coming to work for and the job they are coming to do." The new rules follow almost 1000 submissions on the proposed changes to employer-assisted temporary work visa settings, earlier this year. The changes mean there will only be one type of employer-assisted temporary work visa, the Temporary Work Visa, which foreign workers can apply for. It replaces the six work visa categories currently in place, including the Long Term Skills Shortage visa, and the Talent Work to Residence visa.
The new system would be more streamlined, removing much of the complexity. "Together, these changes represent a significant shift in the way our temporary work visa system operates," Lees-Galloway said.
He added that it would make the process of hiring a foreign worker easier and more straightforward. "It will also provide more certainty for employers due to upfront checks, while also increasing expectations on employers to train and employ more New Zealanders." The new visa system will require all employers to be accredited and will give employers more certainty about their ability to hire a foreign worker earlier in the application process.
Lees-Galloway said this would help regional businesses find workers, while also ensuring that New Zealanders receive training to fill gaps in the labour market. "It will also provide the foreign worker with more assurance about the employer they are coming to work for and the job they are coming to do."
What are the changes?
===================
-Replacing six current employer-assisted work visa categories with one new visa called the Temporary Work Visa
-Introducing a new employer-led visa application process that will involve three stages: the employer check; the job check; and the worker check
-Linking visa conditions directly to pay by replacing existing skill bands with a simple remuneration threshold aligned to the median wage
-For higher-paid jobs, replacing the current set of skills shortage lists with lists for cities and open access for regions
-Strengthening the labour market test for lower-paid jobs and removing it altogether for highly-paid jobs in rural regions
-Increasing the remuneration threshold for the Work to Residence – Talent (Accredited Employer) visa category, as a transitional measure until this visa is closed
-Reinstating the ability for lower-paid workers to bring their families to New Zealand
-Introducing sector agreements to support facilitated access to foreign workers in exchange for progress towards longer-term labour market improvements that place more New Zealanders into jobs in the sector and reduce the sector's reliance on temporary foreign workers.
