Our Team

There are few things I find more satisfying then helping my patients reach their dental goals.

Coming from a family of dentists, Dr Haidar has followed his father’s footsteps and applied himself to this field. He has extensive experience offering cosmetic dentistry and orthodontics to a wide group of people. Having graduated with his BDS from Otago University he found experience in rural dentistry and then came back to be closer to his family in Wellington. When the opportunity came to be part of a new team and new clinic that is looking to provide the best of the best treatment to the people in Wellington, he jumped at the idea.

He is a proud father of 3 (2 boys and a girl) and is experienced in all aspects of dentistry. Dr Haidar is passionate about meeting people and their families. He loves to help guide and treat them to better oral health. When he’s not in the clinic (which is hardly ever), he spends time with his two boys and wee girl and sometimes you may seem them strolling around the Hutt.

Being an overseas trained dentist, I was really interested to get a job in New Zealand’s dental industry so that I can be surrounded by the field before I take a big step of registering and seeing patients.

One of favourite things about this practice is all this amazing technology we have, my particular favourite is 3D scanning when I am orthodontic assisting with Haidar. It’s great to be able to do a full scan of one’s teeth and not have to take those old yucky impressions like we used to.

Also, it’s fun to change their ties to different colours and watch their teeth get straighter month-by-month and see that smile on their face get bigger. I also really like our team here at Central Hutt Dental. We all get along and work is always happy and very positive.

When I am not at work, I am usually travelling around New Zealand with my husband and in the future after our family gets bigger I plan to travel overseas and see more of the world.

Imad graduated from the University of Otago with a degree in Bachelor of Dental Surgery. He completed a diploma course in Primary Care Dentistry from the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland. He worked in a private practice in Auckland and Palmerston North before relocating to Wellington to join Central Hutt Dental. Recently, Imad achieved the Membership of the Faculty of Dentistry from the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland. Born and raised in Oman, he is able to communicate in English and Arabic.

Imad Strongly believes that good oral health is a key factor in good general health. Thus, he devotes a great amount of time developing new dental skills and staying up to date with the latest dental technology. Imad enjoys all aspects of dentistry helping patients to take control of their oral health. His calm nature makes him particularly good at treating patients with dental anxiety.

Aside from dentistry, Imad enjoys photography and music and loves cooking, travelling and exploring new places.

I joined the Central Hutt Dental team in 2021, within that time, I am proud to say my skills and knowledge in dentistry has grown tremendously and helped me discover a new found passion – Cosmetic Dentistry!

I am so grateful to work with such a diverse, highly skilled team and learn so much everyday in this beautiful clinic!

I am sociable and love being around people, I will be ensuring you feel comfortable and confident in every appointment. Helping you, relieving your pain, and seeing you leave with the smile of your dreams is what I love most.

Flew to NZ for my degree in BA (Media Studies) but fell in love with dentistry the minute I started working as a dental assistant. I find it fascinating how dental work is similar to art. Even better! Seeing how the dentist could do ‘editing’ on patients’ teeth for a better smile has been keeping me in this field.

I am eager to learn. My goal is to gain knowledge as much as I can and enhance my skills alongside the dentist I’m working with. I believe providing the best assistance to the dentist can create a favourable patient’s experience and outcome.

When I’m off work, I love to go out and take photos. Most times, I spend my day cleaning, organising and decorating.

I enjoy helping patients and distracting them when i can sense they are nervous. I like how there is always a task. Every day is different. It is so rewarding to see people walk away with no pain when they leave our dental clinic

An opportunity to work with Central Hutt Dental has opened the chance to grow and explore the possibilities of dentistry in New Zealand for me, being an overseas trained dentist. It’s the moment we step outside from the culture of work life and training we were exposed to, that we understand in depth the real possibilities to expand and grow in our horizon of work. It gives me immense pleasure to be part of such a prominent presence in the field of dentistry in New Zealand.

When I applied for Central Hutt Dental. I was thinking it will be a bit of a challenge for me knowing I don’t know much about the dentistry. Since being here I have learnt lots while I have been here and will continue to grow. I love seeing the bond between the staff and customers. Everyone here is so friendly and warm welcoming. Loving spending my free time either spending time with my family or going on walks/hikes

When I applied to the Central Hutt Dental for the first time, I felt it was a really very big challenge for me.

After I started working with them, they were so friendly feeding more things to learn how to be a perfect Front office co-ordinator, also I started enjoying the job.

Even I feel so attach to my colleges, dentists, and patients more like a family, sharing and caring and get to know more details about them in a very short time.

My team leader, Dentists and my co-workers appreciate me to learn more thing it boost me serve and make you Happier. “A healthy smile is Beautiful smile’
