OUR TEAM

Nana focuses on minimally invasive dentistry that is centred around prevention and early detection. Nana really values the importance of communication; informed decision making and will help guide you to improve your dental health. 

 

Nana also takes pride in making dentures to help build confidence and restore function to those who has lost their natural dentition.

 

In her spare time she enjoys travelling, cooking and listening to audiobooks.

MaryAnne graduated from Otago University in 1982 and bought Stratford Dental in 1982.

 

She has recently sold this business to Dr Nana Miura-Zhang but will happily continue to work as an associate Dentist.

 

She is married to now retired lawyer Patrick Mooney and has four adult children and seven (all Taranaki born) grandchildren. 40 years of dentistry has seen many changes but she remains committed to providing relevant dental care to her patients in a light filled relaxing setting.

 

She gained a postgraduate diploma in paediatric dentistry in 1996 after noting that many local children and some adults needed some additional help in accepting and accessing dental care. She believes that patients should be educated about dental care using a variety of techniques, including sedation when necessary, within a team-based setting. She has retained some long serving staff who work in this team approach to care.

Born in Auckland, Luke spent his early childhood between New Zealand and Asia. Before becoming a dentist, Luke worked as an Oral Health Therapist, building a solid foundation in preventative dentistry and patient education. His philosophy is that great dentistry isn’t just about treating teeth, but about empowering his patients with the knowledge and confidence to maintain lifelong oral health.

 

Luke enjoys all aspects of dentistry and is known for his calm, friendly approach. He takes pride in working closely with his patients to help them achieve their individual oral health goals.

 

Outside of work, Luke enjoys spending time with family and friends, exploring new places, and staying active.
