Meet the Team
Kate Rotella
Director / Dental Hygienist
Hi, I'm Kate
​
Welcome to Titirangi Smiles, I'm proud to offer a superior dental experience for everybody that visits us. I love being out and about in the Titirangi community, look out for us in our bright pink scrubs.
​
I'm from East Yorkshire in the North of England and have called New Zealand home since 2000. I've raised two fabulous daughters in the Titirangi area and married a local westie and living the dream!​

Hi, I'm Monique
For the last 4 years I have worked as a dental assistant, both locally and in Millwater. I'm excited to be part of the new team here at Titirangi Smiles.
I've lived in West Auckland for over 30 years, the last 20 in Oratia. I'm a mum and a wife, an artist, foodie, an animal lover and keen traveller.
Looking forward to meeting you all at Titirangi Smiles.

Bianca Yearbury
Oral Health Therapist
Hello!
​
My name is Bianca and I'm an Oral Health Therapist who graduated from AUT in 2012 with a Bachelor of Health Science in Oral Health. I have over 10 years of experience working in both the public and private sectors and currently split my time between Titirangi Smiles and the Auckland Regional Dental Service.
​
I am a self-confessed tooth nerd and enjoy all aspects of dentistry - I love to learn and keep my clinical skills at a high level. I'm a big believer in the importance of oral health in relation to systemic health, and that prevention is always better than a cure.
​
Being an oral health therapist means I am dual qualified and can provide preventative and restorative treatments to children and adolescents under 17 years old, and hygiene treatments to people of all ages.
​
I live locally and I also grew up in Laingholm and Parau, so I know the area well. In my spare time I enjoy socialising with friends and family over a good meal. I also enjoy snowboarding in the winter months, and you'll likely hear me talk about my two cats Luna and Andy from time to time.
"I have been seeing Kate for years and it’s so amazing so see that she now has her own beautifully decorated practice, as soon as you walk in and see Kate’s bright comforting smile your nerves disappear. Kate is a patient, kind and warm person who takes so much care in her work and it’s very obvious she loves her job and helping people. Do not be shy to ask any questions, Kate will be happy to answer them."
I will definitely be going back
