Dr Micah Church

Hello, my name is Micah, and I am one of the dentists at Tauranga Dental House. I was born and raised in Tauranga, completing all my schooling here. I then headed down to Dunedin to complete my Bachelor of Dental Surgery at the University of Otago, graduating with distinction. Following this I worked as a Dental House Surgeon in Dunedin Hospital before shifting to work in a dental clinic in Gisborne. These varied positions have given me experience in restorative, paediatrics, surgical and community dentistry, which I am now excited to be able to offer to the Tauranga community. Outside of work you will find me dragging my family and friends out surfing, kayaking, fishing, mountain biking, snowboarding, hiking and running. I love the wide range of outdoor activities available in the Bay of Plenty and am glad to be back! I thoroughly enjoy my work finding great satisfaction in helping people achieve and maintain a smile they are proud of. I am passionate about disease prevention, early disease management and minimally invasive dentistry. As part of this I strive to educate my patients about ways to improve their oral health at home and discuss the best treatment options for them. I endeavour to provide an approachable and friendly dental experience with your preferences as my priority. I am a member of the New Zealand Dental Association and regularly take part in opportunities for furthering my dental education. This helps to keep me up to date with the latest practices so I can offer the best services to my patients. I look forward to working with you!
