Michael Reardon of the Oral Care Company is a keen proponent of businesses having a social conscience, and to that end a motto he recently heard rang true to him was “We can do good by doing well”. The charity he has an affiliation with is called Operation Restore Hope and he was privileged, as he puts it, to go to the Philippines for the first time in 2011 and every year since.

Operation Restore Hope is an international surgical charity founded and headquartered in New Zealand and Leipzig and Manilla and made up of volunteers from around the world. Volunteers donate their time and skills to provide surgical care for the less fortunate children of the Philippines with cleft lip and palate deformities. The plastic surgeons, anaesthetists and dentists pay their own airfares and accommodation and Michael leaves his practice for 10 days to work for others. His patients support his work with their fees.

Michael is passionate about his work and, as he says,“There’s a lot of competition for your charitable dollar and I thought the best way to do something was to give my time and skills.  As well as fixing the kid’s teeth I like taking the photographs to raise awareness of other’s plights. One of the things about photography is it allows us to bear witness”

To understand the level of high esteem in which Michael and his team are held by their peers, it is fitting to include testimonials that can be found on the Oral Care website, as follows:-
“I have known and worked with Michael Reardon for over 10 years. He is a highly ethical, talented clinician who communicates very well with people.  I would recommend him to anyone looking for a new dentist.” - Dr Nick Cole (Periodontist) BDS MDS.

“Dr Reardon is a very highly respected practitioner in the dental profession. His knowledge and skill combined with experience, particularly in restorative cases is outstanding. As a dental technician working closely with Dr Reardon over many years I would have no hesitation in recommending him to anyone looking for excellence in oral health care.” - Mr Yuji Hoshi R.D.T - Oral Design International 
“Michael Reardon has an eye for detail and a passion for excellence.  He has worked with some of the best in restorative dentistry in the UK and has built upon that experience in his boutique Remuera dental practice.  His clinic is superbly equipped to perform contemporary dental procedures. We have worked together for several years and I have no hesitation in recommending him as a caring and astute dental practitioner.” - Dr P J B, BDS (Otago) MSD, Cert Ortho (U. Washington), Orthodontist.

As a respected dental general practitioner Michael receives many referrals and recommendations for his dentistry from professional peers and current patients and their families. He prides himself in providing appropriate care and dentistry that is long lasting and in his patients’ best interests. His work ranges from high standard general dentistry dental implants and cosmetic veneers to crown dental and endodontics or root canal work.
