Welcome to Tooth Works
Tooth Works, operating from Invercargill, is one of the largest practices in the South Island with a team of six dentists, both male and female. We also have a dental hygienist to provide cleaning and preventative care and advice. Duchenne Dental Services are located within the same building, providing full and partial denture services. Most importantly, we are Southland-owned by a dentist with 20 years experience in Southland. Tooth Works aims to offer a good standard of general dentistry in a modern setting, within a caring and supportive environment; we are not a faceless company or franchise.
Step into our modern, light and spacious practice and you will know immediately that this place is a bit different to your ordinary dentist. Modern equipment, enthusiastic and caring dentists all help to create a pleasant atmosphere.
