Meet Cosmetic and Family Dentist, Dr. Kish De Silva, Wellsford Dental
Having grown up in Auckland, Dr Kishara De Silva graduated from the University of Melbourne having been fortunate enough to earn a Commonwealth scholarship. Immediately after graduating he stepped into a very challenging hospital role in rural Australia before moving back to New Zealand to begin private practice in Gore, Southland. Although he enjoyed the deep south very much, he has returned home to join the team at Wellsford Dental.
Dr De Silva, or Kish as he is known to his patients, prides himself on being a gentle, caring dentist and enjoys getting to know his patients and their interests. He enjoys all aspects of dentistry and regularly attends professional development courses to continuously build on his knowledge in order to better serve his patients. In addition to his care and attention to patients, Kish delivers high-quality dental care using some of the most advanced dental technology available in the field of dentistry that is available here at Wellsford Dental.
Kish loves dentistry and loves to help people. His patients appreciate his kindness his caring personality, and his ability to make dentistry comfortable for them –even the most anxious patient! “My greatest satisfaction comes from helping my patients get over their anxiety and knowing that they will have a pleasant visit. I am very grateful for the trust they have placed in me”
Dentistry is a complex topic for many people, requiring a clinician who is prepared to take the time and explain what’s required to achieve optimum dental health. Kish is been able to do exactly that! He provides reassurance to his patients by listening to their concerns and provides a positive experience to every patient. Kish’s clinical skills are exemplary, and the quality of dentistry and patient experience is very positive based on the feedback from our patient community.
Outside of work Kish is a keen sportsman who enjoys cricket, football and golf.
