About Us
In 2001 Morris established the first specialist periodontal practice in Lower Hutt, bringing comprehensive periodontal care to the Hutt Valley region. This expanded to include Hygienist services, providing supportive periodontal care crucial to the maintenance of periodontal health. This role is proficiently carried out by our highly skilled Dental Hygienist, Angela Kumeroa.
We moved to the current premises in 2017, collaborating with visiting specialists in Oral Surgery and Orthodontics to form Hutt Dental Specialist.

Yes. In most cases ACC will cover the majority of your appointment cost, however there is a charge that you will need to pay yourself. Once your case has been approved by ACC we can give you a detailed quote for your case, and in some cases the cost for your following appointments will be covered in full by ACC.
In this situation it is best to talk to your surgeon. You can self-fund your treatment/surgery, you are responsible for paying 100% of the costs towards this. We can provide you with a full quote so that you know how much your treatment would be in advance.
Morris Wong is based in the clinic 4 days per week, however he is usually with patients during this time so responses to your queries may take a little time, he will do his best to make a prompt response but this is not always possible. If it is an urgent matter, the receptionist will do their best to contact the surgeon or may be able to provide you with alternative options if required.
