Riverside Dental is Moving to Merivale Dental

Our last day at Riverside is Friday 27 March.

For 15 years we've run both clinics side by side. Moving everyone to Merivale means the whole team is finally under one roof, and we can make full use of our modern equipment to give you the best possible care. We're proud of what we built at Riverside, and we're excited to carry that forward at Merivale.

Dr. David Rowley and the team look forward to seeing you there, just 10 minutes down the road.
From 28 March, you'll find us exclusively at Merivale Dental Group, 184 Papanui Road.

We're fully booked through to our last day, so we're not taking new Riverside appointments. But if you'd like to continue your care with Dr. Rowley, we'd love to see you at Merivale.

Thank you for being part of the Riverside Dental community. We're proud to have served Christchurch for over 60 years, and we look forward to continuing that care at Merivale.

What's changing:

  • Location: 184 Papanui Road, Merivale (about 10 minutes from Cambridge Terrace)
  • Phone: 03 669 4635

What's not changing:

  • Dr. David Rowley, the owner and lead dentist is still available
  • The same gentle, unhurried approach you're used to
  • The same commitment to keeping your smile in great shape
