PRINCIPAL DENTIST
DR NICHOLAS CUTFIELD BSC BDS
Nick is the lead dentist and owner of Bay Dental Care
Nick and Kelly decided to become practice owners to share Nick’s style of dentistry and care with Hawkes Bay. Nick has been in general practice since 2012 and also contracted to the HB Hospital in the maxillofacial department managing trauma and infection.
Nick invests heavily in his continuing education, travelling nationally and internationally to conferences and courses to ensure his skills, equipment and knowledge are at the forefront of New Zealand dental care.
Nick is passionate about digital dentistry and uses these workflows every day. Nick teaches other dentists how to use and integrate this technology into their practices and is a key opinion leader for Dentsply Sirona.
Nick really enjoys general dental practice where he gets to do everything from simple preventive care to full mouth implant reconstructions and smile makeovers. Nick practices ‘blame-free dentistry’ and will never tell you off. He believes in a patient-driven treatment philosophy, paying close attention to what you, the patient, wants to achieve.
Nick is a proper petrol head and competes nationally in motorsport events. Nick also loves cooking, mixing drinks, keeping fit and cold showers.
Skin Therapist
KELLY CUTFIELD
Developing better ways to offer our services to you
Nick couldn’t do the amazing job he does without his wife Kelly supporting him every step of the way. Together they share a passion for providing the very best treatments in their field and excellent patient care.
Kelly, an aesthetician of nearly 20 years, founded Muse Skin in 2018 and delivers medical-grade skin treatments. Muse Skin and Bay Dental Care work closely together with Kelly and Nick often collaborating on treatments.
Kelly’s beautiful hands, industry leading technology and exclusive ZO Skin Health products can help you with anti-ageing, repairing damage and fighting acne. We believe ZO is the best skin care range in the world and we are very proud to offer it in Hawkes Bay.

Bridget uses an EMS Airflow, widely considered to be the best and most comfortable hygiene tool in the dental industry. You will see Bridget for your regular cleans or if you are referred by Dr Nick for some special gum care. Bridget always makes sure she is learning and brings such a joyous energy to Bay Dental Care.
