Mr Yazan El Fares, BOH
Oral Health Therapists / Hygienist
My name is Yazan El Fares, and I am an Oral Health Therapist dedicated to helping patients achieve and maintain healthy smiles for life.
Originally from Syria, I moved to New Zealand in 2016, where I completed my secondary education at Mana College in Porirua before graduating with a Bachelor of Oral Health at the end of 2024.
I have a strong passion for preventive dentistry and patient education, believing that good oral health begins with understanding and confidence. My clinical interests include periodontal (gum) care, early detection of oral disease, and working alongside patients to develop healthy habits that support their long-term oral health.
I strive to provide gentle, personalised care in a welcoming and supportive environment, taking the time to listen to each patient's concerns and ensure they feel comfortable throughout their visit. Coming from a diverse background, I value clear communication and enjoy building trusting relationships with people from all walks of life.
I am committed to ongoing professional development and keeping up to date with the latest evidence-based approaches to oral healthcare, ensuring my patients receive the highest standard of treatment.
Outside the clinic, I enjoy spending time with family and friends and maintaining a healthy, balanced lifestyle.
Dr M. Rabih is fantastic. Everyone from the receptionist to the dental assistants are professional, friendly and informative. State of the art equipment and the latest techniques are applied with old school dentistry manners. No one tries to "up-sell" you nor talk you into unnecessary procedures.
The primary thing that happens at this dentistry is: caring for your teeth in a gentle way and preserving your teeth! Sounds novel in this day and age but it's true!! Prices are very competitive. I hope Dr Rabih continues to be a dentist in the Miramar community for many more years!
