All About Andrea Clarke At Milford Dentists

With special interests in cosmetic dentistry, Fastbraces Orthodontics, Inman Aligners and high tech dentistry, Andrea Clarke has presented to and trained other dentists both in New Zealand and overseas. She is currently the Biolase certified clinical Laser trainer for New Zealand and the Pacific Islands and is a clinical presenter for E4D Chairside CAD/CAM and other high tech equipment.

Andrea’s passion for cosmetic dentistry has kept her on the leading edge of smile design learning from some of the world’s greatest cosmodontists such as Drs Christian Coachman, Jason Smithson and John Weston. Andrea believes that Cosmetic Dentistry outcomes are all about creating beautiful, natural looking smiles with invisible dentistry. Andrea qualified Bachelor of Dental surgery in 1987 from Sheffield University. After working in private practice in Reading for six years she emigrated to New Zealand, setting up Milford Dentists in 1997.  The practice has grown “organically” since then.

In 2013 Andrea set up the first Breath analysis clinic in New Zealand to treat those with Bad Breath/Halitosis problems - The New Zealand Fresh Breath Clinic is hosted at Milford Dentists. Andrea’s “dental” philosophy is all about getting information to her patients so they are fully informed. After explaining what is actually happening in their mouth, using photo’s of their teeth, digital radiography and plain English, all treatment options will then be discussed. Andrea then provides them with pragmatic tailored dental solutions, all to the patient’s choice of music and/or watching a movie.

This testimonial is on the Milford Dentists’ web page: “I am an ‘ex-pat’ New Zealander living in France.  When home on holiday, I discovered Andrea who was recommended by a friend and oh, what a relief to find such a wonderful dentist!  Over my past two stays in NZ she has transformed my mouth, doing white fillings, crowns and porcelain veneer work that have enabled me to smile unselfconsciously for the first time in decades. She, her nurse Karen and replacement nurse Lisa are so very kind and considerate that my general anxiety around dentist visits has dropped away markedly. Andrea is patient with questions, explains procedures clearly, and even makes me laugh. (How many people get to laugh while sitting in a dentist chair with cotton-wool in their gums?

“P.S. There is a video screen on the ceiling above the patient’s head in the surgeries at Milford Dentists and you get to watch short films. You can also choose the ambient music.  What more could one ask for? “
