Our Team


Simply, we are Orthodontic Specialists.

Dr Tobin

Dr. Tobin’s Orthodontic qualifications are registered with the Dental Council of New Zealand (the only body to regulate dentistry in law in New Zealand). They are specialist qualifications.
They are not qualifications handed out after a 2-day, two-week or even a two year course but after at least three years of full time training leading to a Masters degree and in Dr. Tobin’s case also a Diploma and Membership of the Royal College of Surgeons of England in the specialty of Orthodontics.

Why trust your smile to anyone other than a Registered Specialist?
