OUR DENTISTS

In 1991, I completed my BDS degree and commenced practice in private dental facilities in Auckland, New Zealand. After a brief period, I made the decision to establish roots in Rotorua and acquired a private practice, dedicating several years to its operation. Yet, an insatiable drive to augment my professional expertise persisted. Subsequently, I pursued advanced studies at Otago University in Dunedin. In 2001, I attained a Postgraduate Clinical Diploma in General Practice, followed by the accomplishment of a Master's Degree in Clinical MDS in General Practice in 2003. The focus of my clinical master's thesis centered on Root Canal Therapy and Crown & Bridge. During my tenure at the University of Otago, pursuing my Master's degree, I had the privilege of instructing undergraduate students as a tutor. The experience of imparting knowledge was immensely fulfilling, and I relished the opportunity. In my view, maintaining a commitment to continuous education and remaining abreast of the latest advancements in oral health and dentistry is paramount. To this end, I have undertaken numerous postgraduate courses in Cosmetic and Implant Dentistry. Regularly, I augment my knowledge by participating in local and international courses and conferences. My professional credentials include a Fellowship in Implant Dentistry from the California Implant Institute, and I am an esteemed member of the Australian Dental Association, New Zealand Dental Association, and California Implant Institute. Above all, cherishing moments with my family holds unparalleled significance. Amidst the fast-paced nature of contemporary life, dedicating time to family remains a priority. Watching my sons participate in soccer matches for Banksia Tigers brings me immense joy. Our household is also blessed with the presence of two lively canines, Perky and Sparky, whom I greatly enjoy walking. Cooking is a personal passion of mine, although I acknowledge my skills fall short of those showcased on Master Chef. I take great pleasure in exploring diverse cuisines and savouring a variety of flavours. Residing and practicing within this community allows me the pleasure of engaging with patients beyond the confines of my workplace. I sincerely appreciate the opportunity to greet and converse with my patients outside of the professional setting. Thank you for visiting our website, and I eagerly anticipate the prospect of meeting you in person.

Greetings, I am Ban Ayar, serving in the capacity of Practice Manager at Ayar Dental. My primary responsibility entails ensuring optimal organisation and efficiency, particularly with regard to our dentist’s scheduling. Effective communication holds paramount importance in my approach, and I consistently prioritise maintaining open lines of communication with our esteemed patients. Being well-informed is a priority for me, a sentiment I extend to our patients as well. I derive immense satisfaction from engaging in meaningful conversations with our patients and forging new acquaintances. Alongside my professional pursuits, my personal life revolves around caring for our two sons, Daniel and Anthony, whose academic and athletic endeavours keep us considerably occupied, presenting a delicate equilibrium to maintain. In contrast to Robert's culinary prowess, I confess to being less adept in the kitchen; regrettably, my attempts at following recipes often yield less than desirable outcomes. Post a demanding day, my preferred method of relaxation involves unwinding with our cherished canine companions, Perky and Sparky, accompanied by a comforting coffee and a leisurely walk. In essence, this encapsulates a glimpse into my life, and I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to acquaint myself with you as well. The prospect of establishing a connection with you is one I eagerly welcome.
