About Bryan

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.
