Accessibility, Convenience, Equitable Dentalcare Outcomes for All
We exist to empower tamariki with confidence.
WhanauSmiles mobile dentistry exists to empower tamariki with the confidence to smile and make a great first impression. In short, we provide on-site dental care for adolescents up until they turn 18.
The heart of WhanauSmiles is to ensure there is equality for your tamariki, whanau, and their extended communities. As we continue to navigate the cost-of-living crisis, it is imperative that we create equal outcomes, affordability, convenience, and that we meet people in the community where they are at.
