Dr Alex Munro

Alex graduated BDS, Otago in 1995 and has gained significant experience in dentistry. During his career in New Zealand and the UK, Alex has built strong skills in general and cosmetic dentistry, and is experienced with dental implants, endodontics, CAD-CAM dentistry with Cerec and Trios, and prevention of dental diseases of the teeth and gums. Equally, his ability to make patients feel relaxed and comfortable and his excellent reputation has built his practice over the last 30 years. In 2004, Alex and his family moved to Nelson where he bought his first practice in 2007. After 12 years, he saw an opportunity to create a space that was dedicated to the latest advances in dentistry, in an environment that was welcoming and relaxed. In 2020 Munro Dental was born. Alex has a strong presence in New Zealand’s dental profession. He has served as Nelson Dental Association Consumer Affairs officer; was the Branch President of the local Dental Association Branch; and is a Tribunal member for the Health Practitioners Disciplinary Tribunal. He has also contracted for the Dental Council of New Zealand for the purposes of auditing the Dental School at Otago University, and is a member of the New Zealand Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry. Alex likes to treat each patient in the context of their overall general health, not just their oral health. He ensures that every patient is aware of all factors that may be influencing their teeth and gums, before developing a long term plan to fix any current problems and minimise the risk of future problems.
