At Nelson Prosthodontics, we are specialists with over 20 years experience in expertly restoring smiles. We love the detail required for great aesthetics and have skills and knowledge from extra training to improve function, to give you back confidence, a great smile and the ability to eat whatever you choose.
‘Specialist Prosthodontist’ is a title bestowed by the Dental Council of New Zealand, for a dentist who has completed specialised training and holds a higher degree in restorative dental work.
We specialise in restoring anything from a single tooth to a whole mouth.
While many dentists undertake the simple aspects of this work, we are experts when rebuilding teeth becomes complex, with a focus on natural-looking teeth.
There are a range of procedures we use to restore your smile to better than before. Depending on the state of each tooth, we will work with you to pick and choose the right procedure for optimal function.

We have a great team that work together to create the best solution to the dental problems that come through the door.
Andrew set up Nelson Prosthodontics over 20 years ago, and has a wealth of experience as an expert in his field. He works Wednesdays in Nelson and most Thursdays and some Fridays at his practice in Wellington.
Hamish joined the team over 5 years ago. He brings meticulous attention to detail that translates into beautiful work.
While some dentists choose to do their own implant placement, we have a visiting oral surgeon, Gerry Thyne, who works closely with Andrew and Hamish. He visits a couple of times a month from his busy practice in Wellington.
