Team Dental Bealey Ave

Born and bred in Christchurch I have been working in the dental industry since 2004. I have had 15 years experience as a Dental Assistant and more recently as a Manager.

I am passionate about dentistry and had the opportunity when travelling around Australia in my 20’s to work for numerous dentists and dental specialist. Now settled back in my home town of Christchurch I am delighted to have the opportunity to manage the new Team Dental Bealey branch. I have a wonderful husband and son and together with our dog you will find us outdoors walking, enjoying the wonderful food and wine this region has to offer, and catching up with friends and family.

I was born in Botswana, I studied dentistry in the US and have now been practising dentistry for 20 years.

I moved to New Zealand in 2006 after working in Botswana for 8 years followed by a short time practicing in Australia. I enjoy and practice all areas of dentistry and I'm passionate about saving teeth. I get great pleasure from getting my patients out of pain and putting the smiles back on their faces.

I graduated from the University of Otago in 2011 with a Bachelor of Oral Health.

I am very excited to be joining the new Team at Bealey Ave, having previously worked at Team Dental Papanui Branch I am familiar with the Team and am pleased to have the opportunity to work with them in a permanent capacity.
I love working with my patients to help them achieve optimal oral and general health. I think its important to give my patients the understanding and knowledge for them to better manage their own oral health.
My main dental interests lie in the prevention and treatment of periodontal disease.
Central Otago is home for me, and it’s my favourite place to be. Outside of the practice, I enjoy capturing beauty through photography.

Hi. I am Shweta. I graduated as dentist in India in 2009, and after working for a year in India I moved to Australia. I worked as dental assistant (DA) and dental trainer for 5 years in Perth. In 2016 I moved to New Zealand and worked with Team Dental as a Dental Assistant. In 2018 I moved to Dunedin to further my career in dentistry. Meanwhile, I passed my dental licensing exam in Melbourne (2018). I completed a Master’s course, endorsed in Aesthetic dentistry from the University of Otago.

I enjoy practising all aspects of general dentistry, especially the “smile design”.
