Fleur graduated from the University of Otago in 2009 with Distinction and the Harvey Brown Prize for Excellence. She joined the Takapuna team in January 2018 and loves working with the passionate clinicians here.

Her clinical interests are diverse, encompassing orthodontics—both early intervention and advanced treatments such as braces and Invisalign for all ages—as well as family and cosmetic dentistry, and minimal intervention techniques. Fleur is particularly adept at using composite resin to create instant direct veneers that preserve as much natural tooth structure as possible. She takes a comprehensive approach to dental care, aiming to prevent unexpected issues and ensure that each treatment is tailored to the patient's lifestyle, budget, and goals for a smile they love.

Committed to ongoing learning, Fleur regularly attends continuing education courses both in NZ and overseas and has completed the Lumino Go programme, which focuses on providing comprehensive, evidence-based dentistry. In 2024, she further advanced her expertise by earning a postgraduate diploma in orthodontics, focusing on clear aligner therapy.

Fleur is also dedicated to promoting holistic wellness within the dental profession. As the chair of the New Zealand Dental Association Benevolent Fund, she plays a crucial role in supporting the well-being of dentists across New Zealand. Her contributions to the field were recognized in 2024 when she was inducted as a Fellow of the International College of Dentists—a prestigious honour awarded by invitation only, recognizing exceptional professional achievements and dedication to the advancement of dentistry.

Outside of work, Fleur enjoys yoga, cooking, and exploring Auckland with her husband and daughters. She volunteers with the Breast Cancer Foundation and leads Mainly Music sessions on Fridays.

Peter believes in providing quality and lasting dental treatment options in a relaxed and virtually pain-free environment.
