What our patients say about Richard and the team at Greenwood Grincare

"WOW what a totally different experience. I am such a sook with my very sensitive gums and previous visits requiring lots of numbing gel! What a change! No gel required at all 😊 😊. Can highly recommend!"


- KP


"Hi Richard, I just wanted to say thank you very much for your time today. You've got a fantastic, warm and approachable manner that made me feel very at ease. I really appreciate the thorough communication and collaborative approach to my dental plan. It was a real pleasure to finally feel like someone actually cared about my health and I'm feeling so much more optimistic about the future of my dental health. I can't say I've ever left a dentist feeling happy until today. So thank you."

"Hi Richard, I just wanted to let you know that Melina is wonderful—she always does such high quality work on my teeth and her welcoming and always friendly and professional approach to client service is very noticeable and creates a great impression. I am sure that you know this already but I know that in a client service business it is always good to receive positive feedback from satisfied clients. PS: nice chair!"


- NS


"Kia Ora Richard.

Just need to say a big thanks for the work you and Olivia (Ollie?) do together where you work as a team, and where you truly look after the dignity, wellbeing and comfort of people. An experience that I truly value. You are true specialists, and of the very best kind. Thanks for that, and more for making me look and feeling better when I leave. No dust and messy things on my face!

Have a great weekend all and well earned break with your families/whānau.

 Ngā mihi nui."

"I have always found Richard to be a very pleasant and skillful dentist. He is also very thorough. 

During a routine dental examination , he drew my attention to a lesion on my lower temple which was then diagnosed as melanoma. I recommend him very highly."

"I’m told I began grinding my teeth around the time they began to arrive. Sadly, it was a habit I never got to shake and as a result I have spent most of my life smiling without showing my teeth, with my hand over my mouth, or turning my head when I noticed people looking at my mouth. However, I now have a reason to show off my smile. Richard recommended I rebuild the teeth with bonded composite veneers. He explained the process in detail, let me make up my mind in my own time and when I decided to go ahead with the procedure, he and his amazing team did everything to make me feel informed and comfortable while I was in the chair. It went exactly as he had described, and his lovely sense of humour made the treatment time fly by. It was absolutely painless and uneventful and I highly recommend Richard and this procedure."

"Thanks Richard! I really appreciate you explaining everything to me. I’ve never walked out of a dental clinic excited about future dental care before! Hope you have a great week :)"

"Dear Dr. Greenwood, I just want to thank you, Melina, and the fantastic front desk staff for your friendly, efficient and knowledgable service. I have friends that can't believe it when I say, that because of the highest quality of work and service provided by your dentistry, I simply LOVE going to the dentist's! 

Oh, and one more thing: Mystery solved! The chip that I thought came off the back of my tooth - is not a piece of tooth at all - it is a tiny piece of white plastic that came off an unobtrusive corner of my splint! I matched up the piece to the splint when I got home. Ai-carumba! 

Best wishes"

Richard Greenwood Dental LTD’s services and products were also effectively tailored to the needs of international visitors and patients.

"Many years ago I hated the thought of going to a dentist, really wound up and so nervous. Then we transferred to Wellington and my first visit to Richard is memorable, his light touch in my mouth, instead of misery. From then on our appointments have been regular and enjoyable. Whatever our needs for dentistry, he attends to them with exceptional care. He is the most meticulous dentist anyone could ever have. Richard uses the most up to date equipment, and explains its function as he goes. A perfectionist, his care of old or not so old teeth is quite amazing. His chair side assistants are excellent and receptionists always helpful.Well retired now we travel 80 kms for Richard’s continuing care of our teeth. 

Who would really go to another dentist when we already have the best?"

"Hi Richard. Thank you for a painless session this morning - and great TV!!


- PC


"Dear Dr. Greenwood - Thank you again for seeing me! I really appreciate your help in stabilizing my broken tooth. The temporary restoration is very comfortable, and now I can chew more normally. I will see my own dentist on June 3rd for a permanent fix. I really appreciate your seeing me. If I should ever move to Wellington, at least I know which dentist I would choose. Many thanks again!"


- LC


"Morning Richard. So after a week of fretting about my upcoming fillings or rather the injections you would need to administer for the fillings, I am so grateful that it was relatively pain free! Thank you for being so gentle with me yesterday.Have a super day and thanks again"


- MJ


"Thanks Richard! Your experience was the best ever! Cheers"

"Melina from Greenwood Grincare Dental Practice is very good and thorough, she is very dedicated and super nice. 90 The Terrace, 04 472 3510. And also for me Richard Greenwood is the best dentist I met in Wellington. Fair, straightforward, helpful, gentle, friendly, thorough, trustworthy, on time and competent! I absolutely recommend these both! Staff is very friendly too. Thanks and kind regards"

"It is wonderful to have a full set of teeth again thank you Richard. I was very impressed that you were able to achieve this so efficiently with your advanced skills! I enjoyed a visit to Te Papa on my way home yesterday in spite of slight numbness on one side. The anaesthetic wore off mid afternoon and there was minimal pain which responded to gargling half a soluble aspirin. I felt no other after effects and had plenty of energy for a stint in the garden."

"Hello Doctor, Thank you for the e-mail, I swear you that I'll try to read the attachments. Today I came there for my appointment for gums care. It was good, no pain, no stress. A very smily and kind doctor and very light hand. Next Wednesday the same. When I come back I pass to say hello to you. Kind regards"

"Good morning Richard, I had an appointment with Melina yesterday and she was pleased with me! She is so gentle, professional and just gorgeous. She is an asset to your business."
