Rachel Ward B.D.S (Otago)Rachel was raised in Winton and since gaining her Bachelor of Dental Surgery with Distinction from the University of Otago in 2011 she has been working and living around New Zealand and the world. After 14 years away from Southland, swearing she’d never return, the opportunity to be a part of Windsor Street Dental was too much to pass up so she’s back. Rachel likes to take time with patients with a strong focus on prevention, believing good communication is essential to make sure her patients feel comfortable and understand their individual dental needs. She has particular interest in making sure the composite (white) fillings she places blend in as naturally as possible, has started offering Invisalign™ treatment and is the resident supplier of anti-wrinkle injections.

Don’t put your health and happiness on hold.

We encourage everyone to visit the dentist regularly so that we can prevent any problems from occurring and the more you visit the less likely it is that we will have to do anything major.
