“My passion is to provide high quality dental care and helping people have healthy teeth for life.”
Hi I am Neil, I’ve been a Dentist since 1983.
With over 30 years of experience in the dental industry, I have attended many post graduate courses including Laser Dentistry, Cerec 3D, Endodontics, and preventative dentistry with a strong focus on minimal intervention.
When I'm not working, I like to spend time with my wife and two children and love fishing, surfing, diving and skiing.
“I love it when my patients tell me they’ve been flossing regularly”
Hi, I’m Pamela I have extensive experience as a Dental Therapist.
I qualified in Dental Therapy in 1975, and Dental Hygiene Practice in 2007. I also hold a Grad Dip Bus from the University of Auckland.
Previously I worked with the Ministry of Health and as a Dental Therapist/Hygienist and as a Service Manager for several charitable trusts providing Oral Health Services to adolescents, pregnant mothers and mothers of young children.
I’ve lived in Northland for over twenty years and have three adult children. I enjoy keeping fit and spending plenty of time outdoors.
“I love helping people from all walks of life have the best smile they can possibly have.”
After more than 35 years’ experience as a dentist I am still incredibly passionate about providing a positive, pain free dental care.
I strive to care for my patients in an authentic non-threatening environment offering my patients solutions within their budget. I gain a huge amount of satisfaction from the transformation I can achieve for patients by cosmetic rehabilitation.
Outside of work I spend time, with my family, free diving, ocean swimming and surfing.
“I make sure patient understands their options for treatment, aim to cater towards patient need individually”
I enjoy the general scope of dentistry, special interest in extractions and aesthetic restorations. I make sure to cater towards patients' specific need, and provide treatment options that are suitable to the patient, while making sure the information is communicated clearly to them.
Outside of work I enjoy going to the gym, reading books, hiking and travelling.
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.

“I take great satisfaction in seeing patients feel at ease and comfortable in our clinic - even managing to have a laugh!”
Rachael Practice ManagerI was born and raised in Te Tai Tokerau and proud to call Whangarei home.
With more than 12 years management experience in the dental industry I wholeheartedly believe that patients come first. At Team Dental we value the need to respect, empathise and care for patients’ varied needs and expectations.
I value working with such an experienced and genuinely caring team of clinicians and support staff who thrive on caring for our community.
Time away from the clinic is spent beaching, boating (nowhere near enough though), vocally supporting various sports, on tv and live, including Northland Football. Catching up with friends and family at every opportunity and making fantastic memories. Not least of all hanging with my favourite fur dog baby, Miller Devon the 1st.
