BDS (Otago), General Dentist
Dr Gus Ariaens is a male General Dentist who speaks Dutch (as well as English).
After graduating in 2008, I worked as part of the Maxillofacial Team at Waikato Hospital for 2 years – an experience that helped me develop my dentistry skills, especially in the area of non-specialist oral surgery. I worked for a year at Hillcrest Dental Centre before transferring to Tauranga for 2 years for my wife's medical training. We returned to Hamilton at the end of 2013 and became a partner of the dental practice in 2016 and in 2019 took over full ownership of the practice.
I enjoy meeting new people and providing all aspects of dental treatment with a minimum of stress. I offer IV sedation for my patients who wish it, whether it be for wisdom tooth removal or general dentistry.
I moved to New Zealand from the Netherlands in 1995 when I was 10 years old and am still able to speak Dutch.
