QSDC Dental team

  • Callum Dunsmore

    I graduated from Otago University in 2003 and since then have been practicing here in Levin. I enjoy all aspects of dentistry from advanced cosmetic treatment to the basics like showing people how to care for their teeth. Our practice has a Cerec CAD/CAM system and I have become very interested in this technology and the convenience and durability it can offer the patient.

    Having grown up in Levin I really appreciate the region and the lifestyle it has to offer. We truely are spoilt having so many outdoor activities so close at hand, from beaches to rivers, and of course our beautiful backdrop that is the Tararua range.

    My wife Faenza is also a dentist here at QSDC and we have three sons and a daughter.

    Outside of work I enjoy time with my family, a round of golf, hunting, motorbike riding and playing the piano.



  • Joash Castillo

    I graduated from University of Otago in 2022 and have started my career off here in Levin. I was born in the Philippines and raised in Christchurch. Queen Street Dental Centre was a big jump for me, but the team has eased my move with their kind and helpful nature. The camaraderie of this clinic is beyond what I have expected, and I am grateful to be a part of it.
    I enjoy and provide all aspects of dentistry, with a particular interest in oral surgery, emergency care, restorative and endodontic care. My passion for dentistry comes from the rewarding feeling of bringing back a patient's smiles through holistic care. I believe prevention is key to better oral health and strive only for the best of my patients.
    In my spare time, I enjoy playing guitar and have keen interests in most sports, most notably basketball and football. I'm very excited to be in Levin and I look forward to meeting you all!



  • Faenza Dunsmore

    I graduated from Otago in 2003. The summer of 2003-2004 was a busy time for me with a graduation, a big shift from Christchurch to Levin, a new job here at QSDC and marriage to Callum Dunsmore!

    Callum and I have three boys and a daughter. Consequently I am now working part-time.

    I love being a mum but also thoroughly enjoy my work as a dentist. It is a pleasure to catch up with my long time patients and meet new faces too. I particularly enjoy the restorative aspects of dentistry and providing care for anxious patients and children.

    I am still a Mainland girl at heart but have come to love the Horowhenua for all it has to offer from beaches, rivers and parks to shops and cafés.



  • Kieran Fitzgerald

    I graduated from the university of Otago in 2017 and made the move back to my hometown of Christchurch where I worked as a dental house surgeon for one year. While I thoroughly enjoyed my time there, I knew it was time for a change and I was lucky enough to be welcomed into the Queen street dental family.

    When it comes to my spare time my interests include sports such as rugby league, cricket, golf and fishing (thankfully there seems to be a lot more fish in the sea here than in Christchurch). While unfortunately there is no rugby league team to join at this stage, I’m excited about getting involved in some local cricket.

    I enjoy all aspects of dentistry but particularly emergency care, oral surgery and restorative dentistry. I love getting to meet people from all different walks of life and finding solutions to both their long term and acute problems. Its always really rewarding being able to return both function and smiles to those who may have thought it wasn’t achievable with their current oral health.

    I look forward to meeting you all.



  • Lilian Pang

    I graduated with my Bachelor of Dentistry from Otago in 2011, and have worked in Wellington and Palmerston North before settling in Levin. I thoroughly enjoy the group practice atmosphere at Queen Street Dental as we are a friendly and welcoming bunch who provide the highest care to our patients.

    I am passionate about providing quality care with attention to detail, and a gentle and comfortable experience for my patients as I understand it can be difficult coming to the dentist. I value the importance of preventative dentistry and will work together with patients to maintain a healthy dental lifestyle so they can keep smiling for longer.

    I enjoy all aspects of dentistry and provide general restorative, prosthetic, crown/bridge and cosmetic dental procedures, in addition to urgent relief of pain and repair of broken teeth. My hope is to provide patients with the confidence to eat, talk and smile again, no matter how long it has been since their last visit.

    Outside of dentistry, I am a photographer and film maker, as well as an avid hiker. I love to adventure and explore, be that in the mountains or under the sea, and look forward to the years ahead in the Horowhenua.



  • Jivarne Joseph

    My young family and I have been in Levin since October 2021 and have really enjoyed our time here so far. We have three boys and one girl.

    I graduated from Otago dental school in 2019 before spending two years practicing in Porirua – my wife’s hometown. The opportunity came up to move to Levin and for us it was a no brainer.
    My kids enjoy attending Taitoko primary school and have made many friends.

    Growing up in Auckland I can appreciate the 5minute drive to work and the slower pace Levin offers. Basketball consumed my youth. Obviously, my NBA dreams didn’t pan out and so I chose dentistry as the next best thing.
    Dentistry has been challenging but very rewarding. I get a lot of satisfaction relieving dental pain and improving one’s smile. I believe in prevention over repair and emphasize the importance of good oral hygiene.
    I’m looking forward to my time here in Levin and getting to know you all.



  • Cindy Xue

    “I was born and raised in Auckland but came to Levin for a change of scenery from the urban city landscape. I graduated from the Otago School of Dentistry in 2022 and decided to embark my career here at Queen Street Dental Centre.

    Although moving was a big change for me, I appreciate meeting new people in Levin as well as working with the friendly members at Queen Street Dental. It sure has been a new and exciting life experience that I’m glad to have taken the chance on.

    I practise all aspects of general dentistry, however I have particular interests in oral surgery, restorative dentistry, crown/bridge and cosmetic dental treatments. I understand many people may also have anxieties associated with the dentist and so I like to provide a patient and relaxed environment. Ultimately I enjoy my patients feeling better about their oral health and concerns leaving the dentist than when they first walked in.

    Besides my life as a dentist, I enjoy ice skating, running and exploring more of New Zealand’s landscape - especially now that I’m in a different part of the country!”



  • Jong HyunAhn

    I graduated from the University of Otago in 2023 and decided to join Queen Street Dental Centre to start my career.
    I am originally from South Korea but started my Kiwi life in 2015. I went to Sacred Heart College in Auckland. I appreciate meeting new people and learning new cultures. I love experiencing something new and playing sports. In my spare time, I play football, golf and ski.
    I practice all aspects of general dentistry. How ever I have a special interest in restorative dentistry and oral surgery. It is rewarding to provide treatment and fulfill patient's expectations.
    I am looking forward to meeting new people and life in Levin.



  • Joseph Kang

    I am a graduate of the University of Otago, class of 2023. Born in South Korea and raised in Auckland, I am thrilled to embark on my professional journey here in Levin. I thoroughly enjoy the 2minute drive to work which would've been impossible in Auckland!
    Queen Street Dental Centre is a remarkable practice with a dedicated team committed to providing exceptional care to our patients, so it is a big privilege to join the team. I am eager to contribute to our community’s oral health as an integral part of this esteemed team.
    While I enjoy all facets of dentistry, my interests lie particularly in restorative dentistry, crowns and bridges, oral surgery, and digital dentistry. My approach emphasises preventive measures over treatment, fostering confidence in my patients’ smiles and eating.
    Beyond dentistry, I find joy in connecting with people, cooking and experiencing different food, working out at the gym, and playing the guitar which I nurtured since childhood. I am enthusiastic about meeting each of you and ensuring your optimal oral health.
