Meet Our Team

Stan's family relocated from Greece in the 1960's and settled in Wellington, which Stan has been fortunate to call home for most of his life.

Stan gained a Psychology degree at Victoria Uni, followed by a dental degree at Otago. Stan has been in private practice in Wellington for over 30 years and in London for 4 years.

Stan finds working in dentistry to be very exciting and stimulating, with the ever-evolving science, art and technology allowing him to deliver oral health outcomes to patients which are superior, easier and more predictable than anything that has gone before.

As one of the first Wellington dentists to provide dental implant treatments in the late 1980's, Stan has had an ongoing interest in restoring broken and worn down teeth and improving compromised smiles.

Stan's special areas of interest are in:

• Dental Implants 
• Rehabilitation of worn down teeth
• Cosmetic Dentistry
• Aged dentistry (management of issues that develop as teeth age)

Outside of work Stan enjoys spending time with family and on exploring his newly found passion for entertaining and singing in style of Elvis Presley. As an Elvis Tribute Artist he has entered contests in NZ and abroad and performed gigs at various functions and venues.
