We Care

Creating a beautiful smile can be life changing, improving both self-esteem and confidence. Patients in our practice receive personalised treatment, using the latest technology with treatment plans tailored to their own individual needs.  Every patient who attends our practice undergoes their own bespoke orthodontic journey leading to the best orthodontic treatment outcome for each individual and a smile for them to  be truly proud of.

What is a Specialist Orthodontist?

Specialist Orthodontists have undertaken extensive training to understand the nuances of creating beautiful smiles. In New Zealand, Specialist Orthodontists undertake 8 years of full-time university study and must be registered with the Dental Council of New Zealand under the Specialist Scope of Orthodontic Practice. It is this intensive training that places them in the best position to provide bespoke orthodontic care to their patients. Specialist Orthodontists have trained as dentists, completing a 5 year degree in dentistry, before returning to university to complete a further 3 year Doctor of Clinical Dentistry in Orthodontics, comprising both clinical treatment and research leading to publication of a thesis.

Dr Kimberley Timmins received both her Bachelor of Dental Surgery (Distinction) and Doctor of Clinical Dentistry (Orthodontics) at the University of Otago.

Dr Kimberley Timmins & Dr Karen Brook had worked together for a number of years as Brook and Timmins Specialist Orthodontists. Following Karen’s retirement from private practice orthodontics in 2019, Kimberley has refreshed the practice which has now been renamed as Dr Kimberley Timmins Specialist Orthodontist.

  • What Our Patients Say

    “Over the past two years I have undergone orthodontic treatment under the direction of Dr Timmins. She developed a highly detailed plan for myself and family members to go over; her team happily discussed this with me and gave in-depth explanations about everything - answering any questions that I had. Keeping me informed the whole way through - the team constantly kept me updated and we got to know each other well though small-talk every six weeks. The difference that is made with Dr Timmins extra-expertise is unbelievable… I unquestionably recommend Dr Timmins and her team”

    “Fantastic treatment. My teeth were horrible before my treatment and now 2 years later I've got a smile I can be truly proud of. The entire thing was painless, easy and (relatively) quick. I 100% recommend Brook and Timmins if you are in need of braces.”

  • What Our Patients Say

    “I cannot recommend Brook and Timmins highly enough. They went above and beyond for my daughter, who is neurodiverse and has chronic anxiety. Throughout her orthodontic process, the communication and explanation process was excellent, and all advice was 100% honest and appropriate. They were always professional, kind and patient, and did an outstanding job with her gorgeous new smile. All staff are kind, friendly and accommodating, and Kimberley is an exceptional orthodontist”

    DION HITCHENS

  • What our Patients Say

    “We have had the most amazing experience with Kimberley - she came highly recommended by several friends and we got our girls in at an early age to see them. It was the best thing we could have done. We avoided expensive oral surgery for one of our girls by having a baby tooth removed at age 10 so that the adult tooth could come down (almost) into place itself - we were very grateful. Kimberley and her team have worked really hard to look after us and to help us fit in appointments over the years. The whole team is absolutely wonderful - from the lovely technicians to the fabulous ladies on reception. We consider ourselves really lucky to be so well looked after. And of course, the results speak for themselves”.

  • What Our Patients Say

    “My three children have been seen by Kimberley and her team from the ages of 8-16, my children were treated with patience and kindness, especially when they were feeling anxious about a new procedure. We could not be more pleased with the results. Having a payment plan was also helpful. Highly recommend”.
