Dr Miché Bruno

Miche completed her Bachelor's degree in Dentistry at the University of Pretoria, South Africa in 2011. Her desire to provide improved fixed dental prosthetics then led her to do a Diploma in Prosthodontics at the University of Pretoria in 2013.

Miche completed her Bachelor's degree in Dentistry at the University of Pretoria, South Africa in 2011. Her desire to provide improved fixed dental prosthetics then led her to do a Diploma in Prosthodontics at the University of Pretoria in 2013.

Miche takes a special interest in fixed prosthodontics but enjoys offering a broad spectrum of dental services to patients. She aims to treat every patient holistically, taking into account the patient's circumstances and preferences in setting up a treatment plan specific to that patient.

Although most people perceive the dental experience as unpleasant, Miché makes it her goal to make the experience as pain-free and pleasant as possible.

Miche likes to inform her patients about the options in order to create a treatment plan that will best suit their needs and preferences. She strives to make them feel comfortable while providing the best possible treatment.

When not at the practice, Miché spends her time with her husband and two children exploring the natural beauty of the South Island. 

Her favourite place to be is outside exploring nature, even if it's just for a stroll through the countryside.
