We are now switching to telephone outpatient clinic consultations from healthcare providers at Middlemore Hospital and the other clinic sites such as Manukau, Botany or Pukekohe clinics.
Please do not come to clinic appointments unless we contact you by phone.
You should only come to your outpatient clinic appointment if you have received a telephone call advising you to come.
Patients who have not been advised to come to the clinic will be sent a text or we will telephone you to advise an approximate time we will call – for example, sometime between 10-11am or 2-3pm.
However, if the doctor, nurse or therapist decides a face to face consultation is required, this will be arranged with staff wearing the appropriate clothing.
These telephone consultations are designed to keep everyone safe from
potentially catching the Coronavirus (Covid-19).

The first known dentures were made from human or animal teeth by the ancient Etruscans in Ancient Italy and date back to 700BC. Technology has certainly come a long way since then.
This should be very encouraging for us all, knowing that as time moves on, so does the way we think and operate. … View moreThe first known dentures were made from human or animal teeth by the ancient Etruscans in Ancient Italy and date back to 700BC. Technology has certainly come a long way since then.
This should be very encouraging for us all, knowing that as time moves on, so does the way we think and operate. Never more than the very surreal time we find ourselves in currently.
Denture wearers are often wary about how they will appear to other people and how well their dentures fit. Many are concerned about the fake appearance of their dentures, or the embarrassment they might cause if they dislodge during eating or laughing.
Fortunately, the materials and technology used to create dentures are constantly changing and improving and as a result dentures are looking more like natural teeth than ever before.
Therefore, it is important to find a denture clinic with a team that has the experience and skills required to deliver an amazing, natural smile – a clinic such as Denture Creations.
It can cater for all your denture requirements, with a friendly, highly qualified team that will make sure you receive the best care and advice from your initial consultation all the way through to your follow up care.
Denture Creations East Auckland clinic is modern and comfortable, and the team believe they have something special to offer all their clients. They are professional, experienced, authentic and above all - THEY REALLY CARE!
We are currently still closed but may be allowed to open for some restricted work at Level 3. Watch this space for an update later this week
