Meet Our Team

Jayne studied at the University of Glasgow where she was awarded a Bachelor of Dental Surgery with Honours in 2017.

After graduating, she worked for 2 years in both a general practice and hospital setting in Newcastle upon Tyne. She gained a broad range of experience across the restorative, oral surgery and paediatric department whilst spending time in a busy NHS practice.

After a further year in Oral Surgery and Oral Medicine at the School of Dentistry, in Belfast, Jayne returned to the North East of England where she has been working in practice until now.
She has made the move to beautiful Queenstown with her husband and is looking forward to all aspects of working in practice here. She has a keen professional interest in Paediatric anxiety management, restorative dentistry and oral surgery.

On her days off, she can be found on the ski field, hiking or playing hockey - always remembering to wear her mouth guard!

Jessie is our practice’s Dental Hygienist. She has been practising Dental Hygiene and Dental Therapy for over 5 years now, concentrating more on Dental Hygiene because this is where her passion is. Jessie always strives to make her patients feel as comfortable as possible because she is a firm believer that prevention is better than cure and wants her patients to love coming in for their recall maintenance appointments.

Outside of work Jessie rows for Wakatipu Rowing Club, trains at the gym and enjoys tackling the beautiful mountains we are privileged to, because really who can resist these!

If you see her out and about and it looks like she doesn’t recognise you it may be her twin sister you are giving funny looks to but don’t worry they are both used to smiling back just in case!

Kimberly began working for Lumino as a Dental Assistant in 2012. She really enjoyed learning about Dentistry and decided to continue her education.
In 2017 she received a Bachelor of Oral Health from the University of Otago. Over the years Kimberly has worked in both general and specialist practices, as well as gaining valuable experience practicing in Australia. The most important goal in her practice is providing a safe and comfortable environment for patients, a place where people can receive a necessary health service with less anxiety. Kimberly finds it rewarding to see her patient's health and dental knowledge improve over time.

Outside of her clinical role, Kimberly and her husband enjoy exploring the stunning surrounds of Central Otago, and having spent much time here growing up, were lucky enough to get married here too!

Janet graduated 35 years ago as dental therapist and has worked in Northland, Bay of Plenty, Otago and Adelaide in South Australia.

Before moving to Queenstown in 2001 with her husband she worked as a teaching fellow at the School of Dentistry, University of Otago.

She feels it is a privilege to work with children and enjoys being involved with introducing them and their parents to dentistry. She works with children from birth through to 18 years of age. At Frankton Dental she treats adolescents under the "free for under 18 year olds" General Dental Benefit contract and loves being part of the wider dental team.

Away from work she enjoys getting outdoors hiking, skiing and gardening and catching up with family and friends going to the movies.

So if your adolescent hasn't have their teeth checked since year 8 call us- we have clinics on a Monday evening so they don't need to miss school!
