Dr Emma Jefferies
Following graduation from Otago in 2015, I moved to Christchurch where I worked as a Dental House Officer at the Christchurch Hospital Dental Service for two years. During this time, I had some exposure to special care dentistry, which sparked my interest in this area. Following my House Officeryears, I started a position as a senior dentist in the special needs team, while also working part time in private practice. I completed my post graduate DClinDent is Special Needs Dentistry in 2021 while continuing to work at the Christchurch Hospital Dental service. I am passionate about providing care to people with a range of special needs, with a particular interest in providing accessible care to high needs and vulnerable adults as well as individuals with complex medical problems.
