Dr Nick Knight is a male Specialist Prosthodontist.
Nick is a specialist prosthodontist, who diagnoses, treatment plans, rehabilitates and maintains oral function, comfort, and harmonious appearance. While most dentists can treat their patients with implants, bridges, dentures, crowns or veneers, a prosthodontist specialises in these treatments; with skills and knowledge to troubleshoot tricky situations and orchestrate complicated treatment plans.

Nick completed a Doctorate in Clinical Prosthodontics in 2014, being awarded a grant of $20,000 from the Ministry of Health Oral Research Fund for his research project, Colonisation of acrylic denture-fitting surface by Candida species. The thesis has resulted in several peer-reviewed journal article publications.
He is actively involved in the dental community, including being the past president of the NZ Association of Prosthodontists and Restorative Dentists, and the NZ Dental Association (Dunedin branch). He is engaged in providing education, including various speaking engagements, as well as continued involvement with the Faculty of Dentistry, Otago University.
