Our Story

Masterton Dental has been serving the Wairarapa community since 1980s, growing over the decades into a trusted home for comprehensive dental, surgical, and orthodontic care.
In more recent years, Dr Akash Kota took on the role of principal owner and set about transforming the clinic for a new era. Under his leadership, the practice underwent a complete modernisation — rebranding as Masterton Dental and introducing world-class technology including a 3D Cone Beam CT scanner for precise, minimally invasive implant planning and wisdom teeth removal, alongside Primescan CEREC technology enabling single visit ceramic crowns and full smile makeovers all done digitally.
 
That vision found its natural partner in Dr Kenny Kim, and together Akash and Kenny continue to build — a shared philosophy that exceptional, cutting-edge dental care shouldn’t require a trip to the city. Their goal is simple: to bring the very best the world of dentistry has to offer right here to the Wairarapa.
 
That partnership has since grown into a group of practices united by the same standard of care, with Kapiti Dental opening on the Kapiti Coast and Art of Dentistry in Upper Hutt. Whatever the clinic, the promise remains the same — world-class dentistry, close to home.
