Dr Hisham Abdalla

Dental Surgeon

Over the past year, Dr Hisham has faced a series of serious health challenges, including several surgeries with unexpected severe complications. This has meant he has not been able to practise dentistry for many months, and he is now facing more significant surgery ahead, as his doctors and specialists carefully plan the safest way forward.

It has become clear that he won't be able to return to dental practice in the foreseeable future, and there is a concern that this could result in permanent incapacity.

Therefore, after 26 wonderful years of caring for his patients and mentoring colleagues, Dr Hisham has made the difficult decision to step back fully by resigning his registration as a practitioner. He is deeply grateful for the trust his patients placed in him over the years.

Dr. Abdalla was a biological laser dentist, and the founder of the Institute. He was the first multiple laser dentist in New Zealand and one of the first in Australasia to teach and evolve this technology to enhance dentistry, teaching since 2002. He is an internationally respected speaker, author and educator in the fields of Laser dentistry, Minimally Invasive, High-tech dentistry and Cosmetic dentistry.

Dental colleagues, specialists and professors travel from Australia, USA, UK, Europe, Asia and all over New Zealand to attend seminars & live trainings by Hisham at our state-of-the-art facitlity and to teach with him. Many have returned to have their own or their family's treatment done by him.

Hisham is known for his pioneering ideas, strong motivation and passion for research and sharing knowledge.  He was an affiliate member of the American Dental Association. He's been nominated by his colleagues at the Auckland Dental Association for NZDA Young Dentist of the Year in 2005. In 2006 he represented New Zealand as a finalist at the Royal Australasian College of Dental Surgeons Young Lecturer of  the Year Award.  Other recognitions include a Fellowship and Diplomat status from the World Congress of Minimally Invasive Dentistry.  He served as a past Directors Board member of the organization in the USA.

Hisham was a founding member of the NZ Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, founding member and past Vice President of the NZ Institute of Minimal Intervention Dentistry, Fellow of the World Clinical Laser Institute and member of the Auckland and New Zealand Dental Associations.

Hisham is an international citizen who has chosen Auckland to be home. He graduated with honours from Charles University in Prague with a Medical University Doctor of Stomatology in 1998, at age 21, after 7 years at the University.
