This is a great dental practice. The team are skilled and friendly. I had a hygienist appointment today and my hygienist worked efficiently and told me what she was doing. She gave me a clear and objective description of the condition of my teeth. She gave me options for my treatment. I felt like I was in great hands. My teeth feel super clean and healthy.

I highly recommend the team at Accent. I really appreciate the quality of care, knowledge, and professionalism everyone brings to making the dental experience comfortable. I never feel rushed, pressured, or disrespected. Everyone is professional and efficient, yet the care never feels rushed or impersonal. The consistency of the experience is a real credit to the team and its leadership. Thank you, Kira, Karen J, Matt and the entire team, for the consistently great care. I genuinely think you’d all make excellent leaders in any profession.

Highly recommend Accent Dentists / Dr Matt Sumner – honest, skilled, and refreshingly ethical care
I was on a business trip in Auckland when part of a filling broke. I asked Grok (AI) for a quality-focused recommendation and was pointed toward Dr Matt Sumner at Accent Dentists in Ponsonby. The experience exceeded expectations.
From the moment I walked in, the staff were warm and professional. Dr Sumner himself was friendly, calm, and thorough in the consultation. He carefully assessed the tooth, took the time to explain everything clearly, and — most importantly — gave me honest advice rather than defaulting to immediate treatment.
I had already booked a full-hour appointment assuming the filling would need to be replaced on the spot. After examining it, Dr Sumner concluded there was no urgency: the tooth was stable, I was no longer in pain, and it was perfectly fine to wait until my scheduled permanent repair back in Switzerland. He charged me only for the consultation, not the full hour.
That decision says a lot. In a profession where it is easy (and financially tempting) to “just do the work,” he prioritized what was genuinely best for the patient. That level of integrity is rare and valuable.
Whether you are visiting Auckland on business or leisure and need reliable dental care, or you are looking for a trustworthy primary dentist in the city, I can wholeheartedly recommend Accent Dentists and Dr Matt Sumner. Professional, knowledgeable, and refreshingly honest.

My first experience with Accent was via phone call with Karen from Accent’s front desk team. Her phone manner is the best I’ve experienced in a long time and is probably what closed the deal with an appointment. The great service continued with Dr Matt and Jade who were lovely and gave me great advice about the next steps in my dental journey. Thanks Team Accent!

I couldn't recommend Matt and his team more highly.
I recently had some dental work done, and Matt was amazing throughout the whole process. He was incredibly thorough, took the time to explain everything clearly, and always made sure I understood what was happening.
What really stood out was how much care and attention he put into making sure everything was done properly. My case turned out to be quite complex, but Matt was so diligent going above and beyond to make sure I got the best possible outcome.
He's professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about his patients. I always felt completely confident that I was getting the best care.
I'm so grateful for everything he did and would highly recommend Matt to anyone looking for a fantastic dentist.
