BUSINESS WRITEUP

Yandina Dental has been offering family friendly dentistry to Yandina and surrounds since 2016.

The practice changed ownership late in 2021 and Dr Regan Leslie is the new owner and principal dentist at the practice. 

Hailing from New Zealand, Dr Leslie graduated from the University of Otago in 2009. He has worked in private practices in New Zealand and on the Coast, but now he, his wife and two young daughters call Yandina home.

“I really enjoy treating people from all walks of life,” Dr Leslie said. “I work very hard to help put my patients at ease, and I guess to ‘partner’ with them about their dental health. It is important to me that my patients have honest, accurate and current information with respect to dental treatment,” he said.

“We are living in a time where we are fortunate to have access to wonderful advances in dental technology, especially with regard to pain management. 

“You would be surprised by how many people over the age of 45 have been traumatised by childhood dental experiences. I like to think I can help those people to overcome their fears and phobias and make the care of their teeth an enjoyable experience. I have a fantastic team of friendly assistants in my practice who help to relax our patients as well”.

Dr Leslie’s special interest areas include:

• complex dentistry,

• dental implants, 

• Invisalign orthodontics, 

• snoring/sleep apnoea appliances, 

• anti-wrinkle injections, 

• wisdom teeth removal, 

• teeth whitening, and 

• crown and bridge-work.

“Keeping up to date with the latest technology is really vital and I have attended various professional development courses throughout New Zealand, Australia, the United States and South Africa,” Dr Leslie said.

“We believe that a beautiful, healthy smile is something that everybody can enjoy,” said Dr Leslie. “And that is the basis for our practice”.
