Our People

David Marriott, BDS (Birmingham) LDSRCS (Edinburgh)

David is our principal dentist. He graduated from the University of Birmingham Dental School in the UK in 1984. He practised general dentistry in the UK for three years before emigrating to New Zealand in 1987. After an associate position in Otorohanga he opened his Hastings practice in 1989.

David is known for his gentle approach to dental treatment and his special interest is in restorative dentistry, improving the appearance of his patient's teeth using cosmetic procedures. This includes crowns, bridges, veneers and many other procedures to restore teeth to their natural unblemished condition.

David values the long-term relationships he has established with his regular patients over the past three decades. He is a member of the NZ Dental Association and regularly attends professional development courses to keep his knowledge of contemporary dentistry fresh and up-to- date.

Victor Chang BDS (Otago)

David and the team welcome Victor Chang who has joined us as an associate dentist.

Victor grew up in Singapore and qualified in dentistry at the University of Otago in New Zealand.

The first years of his professional career have been spent in the South Island. He is therefore familiar with the South Island and is looking forward to exploring the North Island.

Victor enjoys all aspects of dentistry but has a particular interest in oral surgery.

Outside of work he enjoys cooking and hiking, as well as exploring New Zealand’s great outdoors.

Victor will be joining us from 8 May 2023 and welcomes new and existing patients. You can book with him now by going to our Book Online page  or calling us on 06 876 5797

Violina joined us in January 2024 after graduating with distinction from Otago’s Faculty of Dentistry in Auckland.
