About Us:

John Taylor-Smith BDS - Dentist

John has a BDS in Dentistry from University of Otago. After graduating, he was granted two years of hospital training for oral surgery. After that John moved to London where he spent 15 years in the West End, ten of which were at his own practise in the prestigious Harley Street area. Here he treated many well-known UK celebrities for a variety of cosmetic requirements. This has given John a special interest in creating beautiful smiles through treatment such as implants, crowns and bridges, which he has received extra training for.
