Paul qualified as a Dentist in 1989 and worked in London for 6 years with further training time in the Oromaxillofacial Department of The Royal London Hospital Dental school honing his exodontic and Oral surgery skills. He emigrated to New Zealand in June 1995 and loved Whakatane since he first came through the town in September of that year. A move to Whakatane quickly followed and he has practised in the EBOP ever since.

“I still think Whakatane is a great place to live, do business and raise a family” says Paul. “And I still love the sunny climate, great coast and bush areas and the outdoor lifestyle if offers”

Cosmetic dental work has always been a great interest of his and he has always had a gentle Dental way about him chairside with patients putting them at ease while getting the look they were dreaming about or getting rid of the pain that’s been bothering them. “Having beautiful teeth not only improves your smile, but improves your confidence, demeanour and self-esteem”.

After Over twenty years in town Paul has built up an impressive word of mouth reputation, and a loyal client base who appreciate the gentle treatment and wide range of services that he offers.

Paul has specialised in tooth coloured composite based cosmetic work but his work covers a broad spectrum including crowns, bridges, simple and complicated tooth extractions, surgical tooth extractions, periodontal surgery, bleaching, partial denture work, cosmetic tooth re-contouring and remodelling and implants.

Dental ‘phobia’ is common and prevents people seeking help for issues with their teeth.  Knowing that procedures are pain-free eliminates this stress. Paul has always recognised these real phobias that clients have and “caters for cowards” with a range of techniques to gently but thoroughly get them numb. This then means that the procedure can be completed painlessly and swiftly with the minimum stress.

If you have visions of a dazzling smile or have a toothache that’s really bothering you and you want to make it happen in a stress free, gentle way, come and see Paul.
