Kia ora, I’m Tia, founder of Wholesome Smiles—the first mobile dental hygiene service serving Wellington, Wairarapa, and Kapiti. Before I explain what we do, I’d love to share why we do it.
A Personal Inspiration: My Grandfather’s story
My grandfather was one of the kindest, most resilient people I’ve ever known. He lived with Parkinson’s disease for 10 years before he passed in 2015, and as his condition progressed, something as simple as visiting the dentist became impossible.
I’ll never forget watching his oral health decline — not from neglect, but because traditional clinics weren’t designed for his needs. It was always hard to get him to appointments, and the appointment always felt rushed. His experience taught me: True care meets people where they are.
Dental Care That Comes to You
After years in dental hygiene, I wanted to create a service built on three principles:
✅ Accessibility — Care at home, work, or Wellington retirement villages
✅ Prevention first — Proactive oral care that protect your whole-body wellness
✅ Personalised dignity — Treatments adapted to your unique situation

FAQ: Mobile Dental Hygiene in Wellington
1. How does mobile dental hygiene work?
We bring a full dental hygiene setup to you — whether at home, your workplace, or a care facility in Wellington. All equipment is sterilised and portable, providing the same quality care as a traditional clinic, minus the commute.
2. Is mobile dental care more expensive?
While our Wellington mobile service includes travel costs, many find the time saved and reduced stress invaluable. We offer transparent pricing, tiered services and would always love to discuss options to fit your budget.
3. What if I need more complex treatment?
Currently we specialise in hygiene services, but hey - we're excited to share we'll soon be expanding! We're planning to bring dentists and prosthodontists onto our mobile team, so we can provide even more comprehensive care at your doorstep. For now, we're happy to refer you to trusted Wellington dentists for procedures beyond our current scope. Stay tuned for updates - your complete oral health is our mission!
With warmth,
