Our Friendly Team
Phillip Chin (BDS) - Principal Dentist
A born and bred Wellingtonian, Phillip graduated from Otago University in 1986. After working for various dental practices in Wellington, Waikanae and London, he purchased an established Dental Practice in Wellington in 1995. He grew it from a three day-a-week Practice to a five day-a-week Practice. In 1997 the Practice shifted from across the road to where it is today into state of the art modern premises. Phillip's passion is ensuring patients keep their teeth for life and is committed to listening to patients and their needs, and providing various treatment options from which to choose. He has two children and has an interest in cars, sports, travel and making furniture (some of which you will see at the Practice). Phillip is a member of the NZ Dental Association, the NZ Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry and NZ Endodontic Society.
