The team

"From thinking my teeth were virtually unsaveable, I now believe that with continuing future care, I can hold onto my remaining teeth for many years to come. My thanks go to the Granta Dental team"

Our priority is to ensure that your treatment is personalised to meet your requirements.  To this end we have built a team comprising dentists, therapist/hygienists and dental nurses, each with specialist skills and interests:

Dentists Helen Harrison, Julian Fraser, Shamsudheen Moopen, Rob Ward and Daniel Yap are recognised experts in the provision of dental restorations and replacements, orthodontics, cosmetic dentistry and dental surgery.

Therapist Lesley Ruffle leads our work on preventative care and has considerable experience in dealing with the needs of specific client groups including children, patients who are particularly anxious about treatments or those with other medical problems which need to be taken into account.

Our Therapist/Hygienists Claire Brodie and Carly Dibden help our patients look after their teeth and gums, advising on the tools and techniques which will achieve the best results, and working closely with our dentists to carry out treatments such as scaling and polishing to prevent and control gum disease.

Our dental nurses are all registered to comply with GDC guidelines. Further training allows senior nurses to provide radiography and diagnostic screening, work with clients on issues such as smoking cessation, and are responsible for the smooth administration of the practice.

Integration of clinical skills and administrative duties ensures that we can work efficiently as a team to provide an individualised service to everyone who visits us. Outside the practice we often attend conferences and social events together and ensure that we all continue to develop our skills as a team.
