Dog Walkers

Vikash from Papatoetoe

Hullo neighbors,

While it’s great to see many of us taking this time to exercise and walk our dogs, it’s really disheartening to see that owners aren’t picking up after their dogs have dirtied the paths and pavements etc.

Please, be considerate of others who use this common public space… View more

Can you help us help our frontline this Easter?

ShieldsUp

ShieldsUp is a volunteer driven initiative of over 500 Kiwis, 3D printing, manufacturing and distributing face shields to our medical and emergency heroes across the country facing Covid-19 head on.

ShieldsUp is a volunteer driven initiative of over 500 Kiwis, 3D printing, manufacturing and distributing face shields to our medical and emergency heroes across the country facing Covid-19 head on.

Within two weeks, we have delivered over 5,000 face shields, but we are still hearing the calls of many. As the government and DHB’s publicly assure us that all necessary equipment is readily accessible, the demand for our face shields continues to grow daily, with requests for 30,000 shields.

If you would like to help us help them, sign up to volunteer at shieldsup.org.nz, or make a donation to ensure we can continue to produce and distribute our shields to protect our frontline heroes.

ShieldsUp, offering protection to Kiwi’s against COVID-19.

Greetings from the Team at Denture Creations. We all find ourselves in this rather unique and challenging situation. “A state of isolation and restricted access instituted as the result of a security matter” Who would have ever guessed that a virus would result in a Lockdown.

This time spent in our “Bubbles” has certainly given us time to ponder and reflect on what is truly important to us. We will all arrive at our own conclusions, but one thing that is for sure is the World as we knew it, would have changed…. more than likely for the better!

This time will pass. It won’t be like this forever! Life will return to normality again, and when it does, Denture Creations will once again be bringing you the service and quality that we are known for and that you, our most valued patients have come to expect. We are so grateful for all our loyal clients and the ongoing trust and support you have shown us over these past 8 years.

As we approach Easter, lets love more and be kind to one another.

Wishing you all a happy Easter and look forward to seeing you when our doors open again.
Stay safe. Stay Blessed.
Kindest wishes from the entire Team at Denture Creations (Your Smile Designers)

There might also be flour at other dairies, but this is where I found mine. Take care x
