Kelly has been caring for patients at Milford Family Dental for over 15 years and brings more than 20 years of experience to her practice. She graduated from the University of Otago with a Bachelor of Dental Surgery and has worked across both hospital and private dental settings.

Before joining Milford Family Dental, Kelly worked within DHB services in Wellington and Auckland hospitals, where she gained valuable experience in oral surgery, emergency dentistry and the management of more complex dental cases.

Kelly enjoys all aspects of general dentistry and takes pride in providing thoughtful, high-quality care tailored to each patient’s individual needs. She understands that visiting the dentist can sometimes feel daunting, and places particular importance on helping patients feel comfortable, informed and confident about their treatment.

She is qualified to provide both IV sedation and nitrous oxide sedation for patients who may feel anxious about dental treatment or require more involved procedures. Kelly also has a special interest in restorative and cosmetic dentistry, with a focus on achieving natural-looking, functional and long-lasting results.

Kelly is a member of the New Zealand Dental Association. Outside of dentistry, she is a busy mother of two teenagers and enjoys spending time with her family.
