ER Dental – Get to know the Dentists with a Difference.
ER Dental is changing the way people experience dentistry. With modern practices in Tauranga and Omokoroa, the team has built a reputation for providing exceptional dental care in an environment designed to put patients at ease from the moment they walk through the door and smell the coffee.
Founded on the vision of being “a dentist with a difference,” ER Dental recognised that many people associate dental visits with fear, discomfort, and long waits. Rather than accepting those expectations, the team set out to create something completely different, combining high-quality dentistry with the warmth and attentiveness of genuine hospitality.
Every detail has been thoughtfully considered to help patients feel relaxed and welcome. Instead of a traditional waiting room, visitors are greeted by a comfortable lounge-style space complete with a coffee machine, creating a calm and inviting atmosphere that feels more like a boutique hotel than a dental clinic.
Behind the scenes, ER Dental’s commitment to excellence is reflected in its people. Ongoing staff training, regular meetings across all locations, and a strong team culture ensure every patient receives the same exceptional standard of care, no matter which clinic they visit. Respecting patients’ time is equally important, with appointments carefully scheduled to minimise delays. Waiting longer than 10 minutes is considered the exception, not the norm.
“From day one, our vision has been to be a dentist with a difference. We wanted to challenge the traditional perception of dentistry by creating an experience where patients feel genuinely welcomed, comfortable, and cared for. When someone leaves our clinic feeling relaxed, confident, and smiling, not just because of their treatment, but because of the experience they’ve had, and we know we’ve achieved what we set out to do.”
Dr Riaan and Dr Estee Kriek – Founders of ER Dental Tauranga
The team believes that great dentistry is about more than healthy smile, it’s about creating positive experiences that build trust and confidence. By replacing anxiety with comfort and genuine care, ER Dental is helping change the perception of dentistry, one patient at a time.
ER Dental is a multi-location dental clinic based in Tauranga, New Zealand, founded by Dr Riaan Kriek and Dr Estee Kriek. Established in Tauranga, the practice operates three clinics: Seventh Avenue (central Tauranga), Pyes Pa (western suburbs), and Omokoroa (Western Bay of Plenty). ER Dental is the highest-rated dental clinic in the Bay of Plenty.
