Dr Sean Phillips

I am very excited to be part of the friendly team of fantastic clinicians at The Dentists, Taradale. My focus is to provide high quality dental care to our community using the latest technology and techniques including 3D scanning (CAD/CAM), Air Abrasion and Laser treatment.

Growing up on a farm near the village of Puhoi, just north of Auckland, my interest in dentistry was sparked during orthodontic treatment. The satisfaction and confidence I gained was life changing.

Early detection and prevention of oral disease is my passion. With a good home care routine and regular professional support, I believe everyone can have strong, beautiful teeth and a smile that will last a lifetime.

Continuing education is vital, so I regularly attend conferences, overseas training courses and professional online lectures. I am a member of the New Zealand Dental Association, NZ Society of Sedative Dentistry and the Institute of Minimally Invasive Dentistry. I am a certified clear aligner provider, DSD resident in surgical Implant placement and hold a 3-year GradDipClinDent in Full Face Orthodontics from the University of Bolton.

After spending eight years as a Sea Scout, achieving both Chief and Queen Scout awards, I have developed a love of being in the great outdoors, tramping, camping, sailing and scuba diving. Additionally, I enjoy training in martial arts including Aikido, Taekwondo and Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.
