Dr Mei Ironside

Malaysian-born Mei Ironside graduated with a Bachelor of Dental Surgery from the University of Otago and she has also completed her Graduate Diploma of Digital Orthodontic Treatments (AU & UK accredited).

In sunny Hawke’s Bay, she met her now husband, Matt who is the assistant pastor at a local church and they are here to stay. Driven by her primary values of integrity, gentleness, and genuine care, she is passionate about her mission to empower you with healthier, more functional, and more confident smiles utilising advanced technologies. She is also committed to lifelong learning to develop and hone her skills to deliver patient-centered outcomes at the highest levels of care, quality, and comfort.

She firmly believes in a holistic and preventive approach to dentistry. Learning the latest technologies has allowed her to deliver crowns in one day, perform minimally invasive fillings using air abrasion technology, design smiles with laser and deliver dentures in fewer visits.

These innovations have led her to her growing passion in Full Mouth Rehabilitation, Clear Aligners and Implants. She is a certified clear aligner provider and is certified in IV sedation. She has also completed her implant surgical training at California Implant Institute and her fellowship with Australian Implant Academy.

Beyond dentistry, she loves spending quality time with family and friends, reading books, listening to podcasts and biking. On Sundays, you will find her with a camera at church capturing photographs for their media.
