About

My mission to transform as many smiles as I can. I want everyone to have their dream smile and be confident at home, work and in their social life

Story

I received my Bachelor of Dental Surgery at the University of Otago. Active in University life, I was elected the President of the New Zealand Dental Students Association. I received an award by the New Zealand Minimal Intervention Dentistry for my piece, “The Role of Dentists in Society.”

Before studying Dentistry, I attended Sherwood Primary School, Northcross Intermediate and Long Bay College. Having grown up in Auckland, I decided to come home after completing my degree in cold Dunedin.

In my career as a student and a professional, I have received multiple awards, including the Pierre Fauchard Academy award for excellence in clinical dentistry. I have twice been awarded “Dentist of the Year” across all branches of Smile Dental.

I have a continuous interest in research and regularly attend seminars overseas to keep updated with the latest techniques and technology. I have helped incorporate laser and cutting-edge endodontic systems into our practices. My expertise include wisdom teeth, cosmetics, implants, endodontics and orthodontics. I have completed my certificate in intravenous sedation.

When I am not working on teeth, I enjoy spending time with my family. I'm also a keen fisherman and sports fan. I am an active member of the New Zealand Dental association, Auckland dental association and New Zealand Sedation Society.
