Younger you would be so proud! 🌟

Simple resin bonded layered zirconia bridge to replace her missing side tooth 🦷

Natural cleanable result, incorporating lots of natural effects. This is where photography is so important as it is very challenging to get the shade right in cases like these!

One of the most rewarding cases! This patient came to us unhappy with her canines which she felt were very prominent.

Her gums needed some TLC and she followed our oral hygiene advice perfectly leading to them becoming so much more healthy!

We then carried out Invisalign to bring the lateral incisors into line, and correct the crowding. Then some composite bonding on the small lateral incisors to bring harmony to her smile ✨

The patient is delighted, and so are we!

As a born people pleaser it really has been a long hard journey to learn that despite all my efforts not everything is within my control!

This patient attends every check up appointment with new cavities 😓. Cavities are caused by high frequency of sugar in the diet, poor oral hygiene and poor quality/quantity of saliva also plays a part. Believe me when I say we have tried 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 here.

Yet here we are, more new cavities! There has to come a point where as a clinician you have the realisation that ✨ 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐚 𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭’𝐬 𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐲 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐢𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐯𝐞𝐬 ✨

Be empathetic. Educate them as clearly and as thoroughly as you can. Then trust that they’ll carry the knowledge with them and use it!

Always use an electric toothbrush! 🪥

Aesthetics 🤝 Function

Can’t quite believe it’s 10 years since I qualified as a dentist! It simultaneously feels like 2 minutes and forever ago 🤯

I was lucky enough to land my first job as a dentist in a fantastic practice with a really supportive mentor. I now work in an equally supportive practice, which is really well led with a lovely hard working team 💪🏼

Here’s a few tips I’ve picked up along the way, if you’re a people pleaser 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐧𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟖 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐠𝐚𝐢𝐧!

✔️ Invisalign ✔️ Whitening ✔️ Composite replacement

A little introduction since it’s been a while!

There’s more to me than dentistry, it’s all those other parts of my life that help me show up as my best self when you’re in my chair! 🦷

Here’s a reminder to make sure you invest in YOU, you’re more than what you do for work 🫶🏼
