Our Leaders
Dr Antony Neville-Lamb
Principal Dentist
I am originally from Invercargill and graduated from the University of Otago Dental School with a BDS in 1982. I later completed a Dip Clin Dent in 1996.
I spent the first 12 months of my dental career in the Maxillo Facial & Dental Department of Waikato Hospital where I worked side-by-side with the maxillofacial surgeon, gaining a great deal of experience in maxillo facial & oral surgery. I was also priviledged to work side by side with the plastic surgeons.
I moved to New Plymouth in 1984 and joined Tony Waghorn's dental practice gaining a good grounding in general dentistry.
In 1988 I became a part-time consultant in the Dental Department at Taranaki Base Hospital. Today my main role there is providing oral surgical services.
Phyllis Neville-Lamb
Practice Manager
I have been with New Plymouth Dental Centre for over 25 years and am immensely proud of the care our wonderful team offers our patients on a daily basis. I get pleasure both from the team I work with and from the relationship we have with our patients, a number of whom we have looked after for many years.
​
Family is everything to me and outside of my work family, we have three amazing adult children, who work in different parts of New Zealand.
Our Clinical Team
Dr Antony Neville-Lamb
Principal Dentist
In 1988 I purchased the practice and soon renamed it New Plymouth Dental Centre.
​
I practice all aspects of general dentistry including a wide range of oral surgery and paediatric dentistry.
I have a vast array of clinical experience and I am confident in providing the highest level of clinical care to our patients.
Dr Anyang Liu
Associate Dentist
Originally from Auckland, I completed a Master's degree in Biomedical Science from the University of Auckland, then travelled to Dunedin and in 2020 completed a BDS.
​
I am a friendly and gentle dentist, and aim to provide patient-centered care to put my patients at ease when they are in the dental chair. I am interested in all aspects of general dentistry.
​
I am fluent in English, Mandarin and Cantonese. Aside from dentistry, I enjoy travelling and spending time with family and friends.
Our Support Team
Anita
Receptionist
I am relatively new to both dentistry and New Plymouth Dental Centre, having moved from Auckland where I have been involved in the hospitality industry for many years. Having grown up in New Plymouth, I still have family here and am excited to return home after 30 years.
I’ve been thrown in the deep end since I joined the practice. I have survived the experience (so far!) and enjoy being able to care for our patients.
Family is very important to me and I have just become a proud grandmother to a beautiful granddaughter.
Jahmaleah
Chairside Dental Assistant
I am relatively new to the dental industry and have found the time I have been with the New Plymouth Dental Centre an enjoyable challenge.
As Antony’s Chairside Assistant, I enjoy knowing I have made a positive contribution to the care and well-being of all of our patients.
Magda
Chairside Dental Assistant
I am originally from Poland but lived in England before moving to New Zealand in 2006. I am bright and bubbly and what I love most about the dental industry is being around people and being able to help them.
In my spare time I love being with my partner and daughter doing outdoor activities and travelling.
