We are a team of full time three dentists, two hygienists and helpful nursing and reception staff. As a practice we have regular social events such as Christmas parties and get together events throughout the year. We all work as a robust team and are very friendly, approachable and always operate an open door policy. This will allow the trainee dentist a warm, friendly, yet professional environment to learn and thrive. We have regular staff meetings and CPD training through out the year and trainee participation is strongly encouraged. We will like to encourage the foundation dentist to enjoy and gain a wide range of experience in all aspects of dentistry which will help them to become a confident dental practitioner at the end of their DFT year.
