Allow me to introduce myself…

As the face and the inspiration behind Confident Smiles, I thought you might like to know a little more about me and how I got here!

I have been involved in cosmetic dentistry for many years and to me, it is one of the most exciting and rewarding aspects of being a dentist. I’ll never tire of seeing how happy patients look when they’ve achieved their perfect smile, and it’s great to think that what I do can actually help someone grow in confidence or smile for the first time with their teeth on show.

I qualified in 1988 from Guys Hospital Dental School in London and went on to work there in the Department of Oral Medicine. Since then I’ve worked in general practice which means I’ve had a great deal of experience in many different areas of dentistry, treating patients from every walk of life.

Although I now have my own practice dedicated to aesthetic dentistry, I still believe very much in learning and regularly attend courses in the UK and abroad, which in turn, enables me to offer my patients the very best products and techniques. In addition I teach at St Thomas Hospital in London and belong to the Association of Dental Implantology, the British Society of Restorative Dentistry, the British Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry and the American Academy of Functional Orthodontics, as well as being an examiner for the National Examining Board for Dental Nurses.

I have a particular interest in orthodontics for adults and children, crowns, bridges and veneers, the treatment of temporomandibular joint disorders and helping nervous or phobic patients receive the treatment they need. For instance, if you’re particularly anxious about visiting the dentist I can offer you the latest sedation techniques helping you conquer your fears, when you’re ready to, at your own pace. If you’re a parent, you may also be pleased to know I have two boys so I fully understand how important your children’s teeth are to you, and how difficult it can be to make sure they clean their teeth properly and avoid eating too many sweets!

I hope you feel as if you know me a little better now, but if there’s anything further you would like to ask please feel free to contact me here at the practice.
