Dentistry for me has always been about more than treatment — it’s about building something meaningful, both in the smiles I create and the environment in which that care is delivered. In 2007, I founded Clarendons with a clear vision: to create a space where high-level clinical dentistry meets a refined, patient-centred experience. What began as a two-surgery practice has since grown into a thriving, multidisciplinary clinic, but the philosophy has remained the same — thoughtful, precise, and always focused on the individual.

My clinical journey began at the Leeds Dental Institute, followed by a Master’s degree in Restorative and Aesthetic Dentistry at the University of Manchester, where I graduated with Merit. That period deepened my focus on the balance between function and aesthetics — a principle that continues to define my work today. I now lead much of the practice’s private, general and complex cosmetic treatments, with a particular interest in minimally invasive smile enhancement.

Tooth whitening has been a longstanding focus, forming the basis of my Master’s research, alongside advanced techniques in short-term orthodontics. As an experienced Six Month Smiles™ provider, I work closely with patients to achieve natural, confident results through carefully planned, efficient treatments.

Beyond individual procedures, my role has evolved into shaping the wider clinical direction of Clarendons — mentoring the team, maintaining high standards, and ensuring every patient experience reflects the values the practice was built on. For me, dentistry is both craft and responsibility — and Clarendons is the expression of that commitment.
