Dr. Laura Bridger

DENTIST

Laura is known for her calm presence, kind manner, and thoughtful way of working. She takes the time to explain things clearly, make sure you feel safe, and never rushes a decision. Patients often say they feel instantly at ease in her care, especially those who have put off coming in or feel nervous about the dentist.

She brings a steady focus to everything she does, whether it is a simple filling or a more involved treatment. Laura holds herself to a high standard in a quiet, genuine way, and patients appreciate the care she puts into every detail.

At Switch

Laura enjoys all areas of general dentistry and is particularly skilled in restorative treatment, oral surgery, and digital workflows. After graduating with Distinction from Otago, she completed two years of hospital-based oral surgery training and has a strong track record of delivering careful, precise work that lasts.

Her clinical style is warm, structured, and collaborative. She listens closely, talks you through your options step by step, and supports whatever pace or plan feels right for you.

Outside Switch

Originally from Dunedin, Laura now calls Lower Hutt home. Outside the clinic, she is often out on long-distance mountain bike rides. She has a calm, easygoing presence, but those who know her well will tell you she has a quietly competitive side. Whether she is riding, relaxing, or spending time with the people she cares about, Laura brings the same steady focus and thoughtful nature to everything she does.
