Dr Tracey Eales
Director/Dentist
Tracey has been a Director of Aesthetic Dental for over 20 years. She graduated near the top of her class from the University of Otago Dental School in 1992.
She began her career at Invercargill Hospital, where she worked for two years before moving to the United Kingdom. Over the following 11 years, Tracey worked in a range of private practices, completed a fellowship examination with the Royal College of Surgeons, and travelled extensively before returning to New Zealand in December 2005.
Tracey is a member of both the New Zealand Dental Association (NZDA) and the New Zealand Society of Forensic Odontology (NZSFO). She works as a forensic odontologist assisting police with identification cases, and is also on the NZSFO executive committee, serving as the regional coordinator for Hawke’s Bay, Manawatū, and Taranaki. She is committed to lifelong learning and regularly attends courses and conferences to ensure her clinical knowledge remains current and of the highest standard.
Outside of dentistry, Tracey’s greatest passion is travel, followed closely by skiing, golf, reading, podcasts, art, great food, and wine. She also loves spending time tending to her lifestyle block, always in the company of her two golden retrievers, Louis and Sky.
