Lance

Lance graduated from the Otago University School of Dentistry in 2010 with a Bachelor of Dental Surgery. The following year he worked at Waikato Hospital as a Maxillofacial house surgeon, and in 2012 moved into private practice in Auckland.  Lance now works, in partnership with his wife Inah, at Bays Dental on the North Shore.  

Lance is a proud member of the NZDA (New Zealand Dental Association) and the NZACD (New Zealand Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry). He has been on the ADA Executive since 2013 and filled the roles of Treasurer and Vice President.  He is also currently the ADA's representative on the NZDA's Advisory Group.  During his term as President, Lance is keen to consolidate the association's processes and initiatives and to also try and improve the public's perception of dental practitioners and the dental industry.  Outside of work Lance’s interests lie in anything outdoors.  His main passions are mountain biking and white water kayaking, but when he gets the chance also diving, sailing and skiing.
