Purely Dental

GDC No. 63629 read more…» I have always wanted to be a dentist and am a passionate advocate of preventive dentistry. I love to create healthy mouths and provide my patients with the skills to care for them on a daily basis. Healthy mouths are great! They are reliable and trouble-free and I believe that you shouldn’t need to think about your mouth during the day – it should just work, all the time, every time. There are lots of wonderful advances in the rapidly changing world of dentistry and it’s great learning about them and incorporating them in my day-to-day work. The advances in techniques to improve people’s appearance have been dramatic and one of my greatest pleasures is the reaction people have to the new smile we have created for them. I qualified from Leeds University in 1988. I am a member of the British Dental Association and after working at practices in Leeds and Bradford, I bought the Knaresborough practice with Rosanna in 1997. Outside of work I like to keep busy and enjoy spending time with my partner and children. I am a keen cyclist and skier, a school governor, and a Cub Scout Leader.

We are always looking for ways to improve the care and service we provide to our patients – and are all ears when it comes to any suggestions they have! I qualified in Dentistry at Leeds University in 1988 and since then have worked in Castleford and Bradford. I particularly like helping anxious patients to overcome their fear and thrive on improving patients’ appearance and confidence. When I am not at work our twins, Luke and Eleanor, who are eight years old, keep us on our toes and provide many challenges, as any parent knows, but we also have double the fun! I thoroughly enjoy being a dentist and feel happy that my work-home balance is just right.

GDC No. 64045 read more…» I qualified from Kings College, London in 1988 and worked in general dental practice in Essex, Bristol, Newcastle and Leamington Spa before moving to North Yorkshire in 2003. Recently I completed a year long advanced restorative course with the cosmetic dentistry expert Paul Tipton in Manchester, which has helped me update my skills and knowledge in the ever-changing world of dentistry. I very much enjoy all aspects of general dentistry and particularly enjoy working with people to help enable them to achieve healthy mouths. My three teenage children offer me many challenges outside of work and I also play tennis, enjoy the gym, walking my two dogs and am trying hard to learn Spanish.
