Our Team
We are a small passionate team of professionals focused on the concept of prevention and gentle treatments

Lisa Meredith
Dental Hygienist & Co-owner
With over 25 years in the dental industry, Lisa brings a wealth of experience, a warm smile, and a true passion for helping people feel their best, both inside and out.
Originally from the UK, Lisa began her dental journey as a dental assistant, gaining hands-on experience across a variety of specialties. After relocating to New Zealand, she completed her studies at Otago University in 2007 and went on to spend 15 years as a senior hygienist within one of the country’s largest dental organisations.
Lisa is all about building genuine, lasting relationships with her patients. She takes a prevention-first approach and is dedicated to making every visit calm, respectful, and completely tailored to each individual. Passionate about the strong link between oral health and overall wellbeing, she loves empowering her patients with the knowledge and tools to take charge of both.
Outside the clinic, Lisa mentors new graduates, generously sharing her experience and passion with the next generation of oral health professionals. Known for her down-to-earth nature, clinical excellence, and commitment to doing things differently, Lisa co-founded SMOOCH to reimagine dental care, creating a space where looking after your smile feels more like self-care than a chore.
At SMOOCH, Lisa's ultimate goal is simple: to make you feel good about your visit and even better about your smile.
