  • Dr Kelvin Tay

I graduated from the University of Otago in 2007 with a Bachelor of Dental Surgery. Having grown up in New Zealand I felt obligated to give back to the community that raised me – so I moved to Palmerston North in 2008 and commenced my professional career as a dentist at the Broadway Dental Centre. Dentistry has changed a lot in the last few years, various new technologies, from digital x-rays to soft-tissue lasers, have improved the efficiency and effectiveness of treatment many times over.
My fascination with “what’s new” allows me to offer you the best possible options currently available, all fully explained so that you can make an informed decision.
Spend time with me and I will spend time with you. Thats what I'm here for.
