Our Team

After completing her studies in Dunedin, Lucy moved to Palmerston North Hospital. She spent several years there, including 15 months as a senior dentist. After moving to the Wellington region, she started in private practice at another local clinic. Soon after, in early 2019, she joined Champion Dental.

In late 2020 Lucy purchased Champion Dental Centre from Dr Ian Ongley and is excited to continue providing an outstanding practice to the Porirua community.

Lucy has significant experience in removing teeth and enjoys putting her patients at ease during a stressful period. She also has recently become an Invisalign provider and has a keen interest in continuing her education, particularly in modern treatment methods.

Lucy is fantastic with patients, particularly those that are anxious or nervous, providing a smiling face and a calming influence to put you and your family at ease.

Outside of work, Lucy loves going to visit her family in southern Hawkes Bay, travelling around NZ and will often be seen out & about on Porirua’s local walks.

Bryan attended both University and Dental School at The University of Washington (Seattle, USA), where he received his Doctor of Dental Surgery qualification in 2004.

Soon after, he practised in Anchorage, Alaska, eventually owning his own practice for nearly ten years, then providing care in remote communities before moving.

He joined Champion Dental in 2021 after practising elsewhere in NZ for the previous two years.

All of his experience has lead him to a practice philosophy of wanting to educate and offer the best to patients through multiple aspects of general dentistry, including esthetics, surgery, root canal treatment and routine fillings. Bryan strives to provide solutions for most dental concerns and believes that with all that can be offered now, it should be possible for everyone to have a confident, comfortable smile.

When he is not working, he enjoys casual golfing with friends, hiking NZ’s many trails and exploring his new home.

Born and raised in Lower Hutt, Stephen is a native Wellingtonian who is excited to be back working in his hometown. Graduating with a BDS in 2019, Stephen worked in private practice in the Wellington region for 2 years before returning to the Dental School in Dunedin as a Dental/Oral and Maxillofacial House Surgeon in 2022. His love of surgery lead him to complete a Postgraduate Diploma of Clinical Dentistry (Oral Surgery), which he achieved with Distinction in 2023. While Stephen enjoys the challenges and variety that general dental practice possesses, he is particularly fond of surgical dental procedures, including surgical wisdom teeth removal, surgical tooth exposures, crown lengthening surgeries, and implantology. Outside the dental clinic, Stephen is happiest out and exploring the beautiful New Zealand outdoors, and is an avid swimmer, mountain biker, skier, and novice surfer.

Louise graduated in 2014 with a Bachelor of Oral Health from the University of Otago before moving to Wellington.
