Established in 1997.
We are a family owned and operated business in every sense of the word! Willie Steenkamp immigrated to New Zealand from South Africa in 1994 with his wife Anna and their five children. After living on the North Shore and travelling to work in Manurewa for 3 years, Willie launched East Coast Bays Dental as he saw the need for a skilled, honest and trustworthy Dentist in the East Coast Bays area. Whilst managing the five kids, Anna worked closely with Willie in turning the practice into a success within the community and soon the practice was bustling and word spread of the new dentist in town! Willie and Anna passed on their passion for dentistry and serving their community to two of their children who are now also a part of the practice! Jan and Anneke Steenkamp happily joined the team in 2007 and 2011 respectively and thoroughly enjoy working with each other and their parents!

Willie Steenkamp J.
Business Owner
Willie (pronounced Villie) graduated from the University of Pretoria in 1979, practising in Port Elizabeth, South Africa and in the UK, before immigrating to New Zealand in 1994, and then founding East Coast Bays Dental in 1997. His wife Anna manages the practice and they have 5 children and a growing number of grandchildren.Willies scopes of practice include all aspects of general dentistry and 20+ years of doing his own dental technician work.
‘My philosophy (and the practices philosophy), says Willie, is to give every patient inexpensive treatment options and to not pressure acceptance of a specific treatment option that the patient may not want or be able to afford at that time. I am prepared to save teeth in the shorter term and provide minimal intervention wherever possible. I am honest about the longevity, necessity and prognosis of all treatments and provide discounts for multiple fillings instead of charging full fees like most practitioners.
