About us

I graduated in India back in 2013 and gained 2 years of experience as a general practitioner before moving to New Zealand. For a couple of years, I worked for a more rural practice in Hawkes Bay. Having strong family connections in Wellington I decided to eventually move and have been practicing here since 2019.

I strongly believe in empowering all my patients with every bit of information available to help them make oral health decisions with confidence. I practice all fields of general dentistry with a special interest in restorative treatment and have a growing passion for Digital dentistry.

Outside of dentistry, I enjoy long road trips travelling NZ and often play cricket and badminton for fun.

Byron graduated with his Bachelor of Dental Surgery from the University of Otago in 2013. He is registered with the New Zealand Dental Council in the scope of General Dental Practice. He worked in private practice in Dunedin for five years and relocated to Wellington in 2019. He has been working at Naenae Dental Clinic before joining the Hutt Dental Hub.

Byron is a member of the Institute of Digital Dentistry. Digital dentistry is the future of dentistry. This involves 3D scanning of the teeth and fabricating custom-made crowns, bridges, and implant-retained prosthetics.

Byron is a member of the New Zealand Dental Association and attends meetings at the Wellington branch. He has previously filled the role of Secretary/Treasurer at the Otago Branch and been the Otago representative of the Young Dentist Action Group.

Byron is a keen mountain biker and can often be found on the trails in the evening and weekend. He enjoys working with his hands, maintaining his bikes, and stone carving with Oamaru limestone.

Graduating with a Diploma in Dental Hygiene from the University of Otago in 2005 has led me to have a very fulfilling career as a Dental hygienist.

I was fortunate to have the opportunity to set up the Hygiene department at Hutt Dental Hub in 2020, after leaving my previous role of 14 years in Wellington CBD as I was wanting to work locally and serve my community. I pride myself on building patient relationships to make visiting a dental hygienist an enjoyable and relaxed experience and one that you look forward to attending.Being passionate about providing an excellent standard of care to assess and treat periodontal conditions and actively maintain optimal oral health, I have also started mentoring Hygienist and Oral health therapist colleagues to help them provide a high standard of care to their patients also. Being an active member of the New Zealand Dental Hygienist’s Association (NZDHA) and previously held the Treasurer and Chairperson role of the Wellington Branch I like to keep up to date with many avenues of continuing professional development.

Outside of work family and friends are the centre of my life, I am an active member of my sons Zach’s school volunteering in the FOS committee, and I enjoy socialising with friends and their families whenever I can.

In 2018 I graduated from the Auckland University of Technology with my Bachelors Degree in Oral Health Therapy.

Whilst in Auckland, I worked with the Waitemata DHB, providing dental care for children and teenagers, which I thoroughly enjoyed.

After making the move back to Wellington in 2021, I was given the opportunity to join the amazing teams across the Naenae Dental Clinic and Hutt Dental Hub. I was born and raised in the Hutt Valley, and am glad to be home!

My aim is to provide all my patients with a calm and gentle dental experience. I hope to give you the confidence to leave with a happy, healthy and educated smile.

I like to spend my spare time outdoors and in good company—food also plays a critical role in my life outside of work.

I have been a dental assistant since 2019 starting with our original team at Naenae Dental Clinic. I discovered my love for dental care after volunteering and observing the position of a dental assistant, I was willing to learn more each day. Everyday there is something new to learn, no two days are the same. I love the variety of work and knowledge that dentistry offers and the ability to expand my skills make me excited to come to work each day.

What I like the most is being able to help our patients feel comfortable on the dental chair and provide them with a positive dental experience, seeing our patients smile as they leave the dental room makes me very happy. Being a part of the Hutt Dental Hub team is awesome, this team like the Naenae Dental team, offers the latest technology the dental field has to offer, making it easier for us to meet the high standards we set ourselves.

When I’m not at work, you’ll find me in my downtime I love doing Yoga, going to the gym, and meeting with family and friends.

Hi, I’m Georgia and I’m Byron’s Dental Assistant.

As a young teenager, I was always intrigued by dentists, their assistants, and the changes they made in the healthcare industry. I would always enjoy going to my dentist as I knew I was going to be taken care of by the dentist, dental assistant, and the supporting staff surrounding the clinic. I would find myself asking more questions about their careers and the paths they took rather than my teeth, so I knew that the dental industry was for me.

I started working at the Hutt Dental Hub as a Dental Assistant at the start of 2021 before I worked in retail. My goal as a Dental Assistant is to make sure our patients are comfortable throughout their visit and leave satisfied with the results and experience. I love building relationships with my patients and giving them the best possible experience in the clinic.

In my spare time, I love getting tucked up in a book, doing some baking as I find it very therapeutic, binge-watching Tarantino movies, and going on walks with my dog.

Originally starting as a Dental Assistant back in 2017, then moving to support the Front Office Team on the front line, has given me a unique working experience, gaining me a working knowledge of every aspect of the dental practice. Not knowing when I was younger what career I wanted to strive to achieve, I fell into dentistry by accident and what a happy accident it was! On the job I felt a sense of satisfaction being able to spread the importance of oral health and the major effects it has on a person’s self-confidence. What I love most is seeing the difference we can make in our patients lives. Going from them not wanting to leave the house, to smiling more confidently. Working within a team that has a passion for all things digital means that we can provide accurate predictable results every time. I am very excited to be working in Central Hutt and working as the Team Leader in the Practice has given me an intense feeling of satisfaction. I look forward to coming to work every day. They say if you love what you do, you don’t work a day in your life.
