“I’m passionate about providing caring down to earth dental care.”
I was born in Wales and have two older brothers who are both Dentists, so dentistry is in our family,
I graduated in 1986 and have enjoyed working as a dentist in the UK, Australia and New Zealand.
My experience has mostly been in general dentistry. I enjoy crown and bridge work and have a special interest in oral surgery. I understand that having dental treatment can be a challenging experience for many and I like to ensure my patients feel relaxed, informed and cared for.
“I enjoy helping people of all ages to achieve and maintain good dental health and strive to ensure my patients feel welcome and comfortable.”
I attended Tauranga Girls’ College and have been practicing general dentistry in Tauranga since I graduated from the University of Otago in 1985.
I bring a wealth of experience and am committed to ensuring our patients have a positive dental experience.
“I am passionate about making a difference in the oral health community.”
I was born and raised in Whanganui before heading to Dunedin to complete my Bachelor of Dental Surgery degree.
I understand that coming to the dentist can be a very scary and daunting time for some and my aim is to help make that experience not so scary and hopefully change the perspective of the so called “murder house”. I enjoy all aspects of dentistry, but particularly enjoy orthodontics where I’m keen to contribute significantly.
I’m new to the bay of plenty and really enjoy the atmosphere as well as the lovely people that surround it.
Healthy, happy smiles.

Frequently Asked Questions
Local anaesthetic provides a total pain block in most cases. For anxious patients or difficult surgery we provide intravenous sedation. A consultation appointment is essential if you are thinking about intravenous sedation. Note: This is not a general anaesthetic.
Ring the surgery as soon as you can and let us know what happened. We will see you asap to assess and document the trauma to the mouth and look at ACC options. Even if there doesn’t appear to be any damage, problems can arise later. In children, registration of accident injury is very important as it may involve damage to a permanent tooth that has not come through yet. A traumatic injury to the teeth can have an unpredictable outcome, so it’s always a good idea to have the accident checked and documented.
Not always, but a wisdom tooth is your third molar tooth and often there is not enough room in your mouth for them so they become impacted (jammed against another tooth or bone, and can become infected), so they often have to be removed for comfort. There are a number of reasons why wisdom teeth may cause problems and if they’re causing pain and infection, we recommend their extraction.
We require payment on the day of treatment. EFTPOS and credit card facilities are available.
Yes we do. Under the Government Special Dental Benefits scheme, we provide emergency temporary treatment of children and adolescents up to them turning 18. If the appointment is the result of an accident or trauma, we provide temporary and ongoing treatment to all age groups through ACC.
A tooth should be crowned when it’s compromised and or damaged to the extent it’s in danger of breaking. A crown strengthens and protects the tooth that remains. Some people have crowns placed over their teeth for cosmetic reasons.
We can issue WINZ quotes and in the case of accident or trauma partial ACC assistance is sometimes available.
There are three options; partial denture, bridge or an implant and an implant will require a referral to an oral surgeon.
Dentures provide a cost effective, practical and cosmetic solution for those with problem teeth. If you do need to have full upper and/or lower dentures the initial cost of the dentures will vary, and the dentures will need to be adjusted as the gums shrink over time. Most dentist are very hesitant to pull out good or patent teeth and partial dentures are available that allow you to keep your good teeth for as long as possible.
In all cases an infection in the mouth must be addressed as untreated dental infections can be very serious. In some cases a tooth infection can be remedied with a course of antibiotics. Drugs will deal with the infection, but the underlying problem remains, so, don’t forget to return to your dentist to find a permanent solution to the problem.
It’s difficult to provide a quote over the phone, but we can give you a price range for the various treatments. Your dentist will tell you how much the treatment is likely to cost before they start. We advise you to visit the practice for an appointment to discuss different options with you.
Yes we do at our 16th Ave practice in Tauranga.
No, but we can assess your condition and then refer you to a local orthodontist.
Yes, we have the facilities to make you a whitening tray and provide the necessary whitening solution, this process takes up to a week, or, we have ready-to-go whitening treatments available.

“My aim is to ensure that everyone who walks through our door feels welcome and I try and make their visit to the dentist as stress free and relaxed as possible.”
