Born and educated in Wellington, Navin graduated from Victoria University with Honours in Biochemistry before completing Dentistry in Otago in 1984. He spent time overseas working in a large practice with specialists before returning to New Zealand in 1987.
He established the Hutt Dental Centre in 1990 and in 1996 established Tennyson Dental Centre.
Navin is a regular attendee at courses, loves dentistry and has a particular passion for cosmetic dentistry. He finds it very satisfying seeing clients' self esteem grow with their new smiles. 2004 was a rewarding year for Navin being voted Wellington’s Best Dentist and receiving an invitation to an exclusive dinner with Bill Dorfman from the hit television series Extreme Makeover.
