Richard Greenwood
Richard is a 1992 graduate from the University of Otago Dental School. After university, he worked in the Porirua hospital dental department for 2 years, gaining valuable experience treating children and patients with special needs. He followed this with locum positions in Wellington and Edinburgh. He returned to become the owner of Richard Greenwood Dental. This evolved into Greenwood Grincare, which now is part of Discover Dental.
Richard has always enjoyed working with his hands. Combining this with the intellectual challenge modern dentistry provides has given him the perfect career.
Richard is always looking to improve the way we do dentistry. His aim is to help patients have the best possible dental health and healthier lifestyles. He loves being able to offer patients solutions that he knows will save their teeth, time, and money. He is an avid promoter of prevention and the use of ‘tooth conserving’ techniques. He maintains his skills with extensive continuing education, ensuring treatment is based on sound science and research.
Richard is married with three children, two at university and one at college. He is an amateur mandolin player and loves to ski, surf, and mountain bike. He is happiest enjoying the outdoors with his family and friends.
