BDS (Otago), PGDip Orthodontics & Dentofacial Orthopaedics (LDI) - Dental Surgeon
My philosophy is to prioritise each patient’s individual needs while providing quality-driven, personalised care. I believe that taking the time to listen to your concerns, understand your goals, and build trust is essential in creating an environment where you feel comfortable and confident. My aim is to make every dental experience as relaxed as possible and help every patient leave with a smile.
With a strong interest in orthodontics, I provide orthodontic treatment for patients of all ages from 6 years old, offering both clear aligner therapy and fixed braces options. I understand that every smile journey is unique, and I enjoy working closely with my patients to create personalised treatment plans that suit their individual needs, lifestyle, and goals.
My passion for orthodontics has continued to grow through seeing the confidence that develops as patients progress through their treatment journey. I find great fulfilment in building meaningful relationships with my patients and supporting them throughout every stage of their orthodontic experience. I believe orthodontic treatment is not just about straightening teeth, but about creating positive experiences and helping patients achieve a smile they can feel proud of.
To further develop my orthodontic expertise, I completed a comprehensive year-long orthodontic course with Clouthortho, based in Hong Kong, and have also completed a postgraduate diploma with the London Dental Institute. I continue to expand my knowledge through ongoing education, advanced courses, and research to ensure I provide evidence-based care using the latest treatment options and techniques.
I completed my Bachelor of Dental Surgery with Distinction at the University of Otago. I was also honoured to be selected to represent the University of Otago in its inaugural dental exchange programme, where I travelled to Canada to further broaden my clinical experiences and develop my skills.
Alongside orthodontics, I enjoy providing comprehensive general dentistry and helping patients maintain excellent oral health through personalised, preventative, and restorative care.
Having grown up in the local community and attended Willow Park Primary School, Glenfield Intermediate, and Westlake Boys High School, Auckland has always been home. Outside of dentistry, I enjoy playing football and following the latest results from around the world. I am a passionate supporter of Chelsea Football Club and enjoy keeping up with the team throughout the season. I am also a keen movie enthusiast and enjoy exploring a wide range of films in my spare time.
Being part of this community has shaped who I am, and I feel privileged to give back by helping patients achieve healthy, confident smiles and creating positive experiences throughout their dental journey.
