Our Practice and Philosophy
Feel at home with us
Our team of friendly qualified staff are ready to meet your dental needs with outstanding personalised care.
As a sign of our commitment to your total wellbeing, we’ve created a pleasant and friendly environment that’s guaranteed to relax you before your consultation or treatment. Comfortable sofas, the latest magazines – we want you to feel completely at ease and enjoy your visits to us.
This is only the beginning, though.
Our job is to make sure your dental consultation and treatment is as enjoyable as possible, both in our practice and at home. It’s a philosophy of on-going preventative care that’s rewarded us with interested, motivated and committed patients that are a pleasure to treat.
Preventive dental care: we believe that people should have their own healthy teeth for life
Meet the Dentists
Sonja van Erkel & Chris Newbould
Both graduates of the University of Otago Dental School, we married in 1990 and practiced in the United Kingdom before returning with our two daughters to New Zealand in 1998. Our keen and active interest in post-graduate education ensures that we are up-to-date with the latest research and developments. Outside of dentistry, we are also keen and active, endlessly pursuing all the wonders New Zealand's great outdoors offers.
We are both New Zealand-trained Otago University Dental School graduates and members of the New Zealand Dental Association. We own and operate the practice independently.
