Lead Dental Nurse, GDC Number 251890

I originally joined Hampshire Dentists in 2013 as a trainee and subsequently qualified as a Dental Nurse with a Level 3 Diploma in 2014. I was promoted to Lead Nurse shortly after qualifying which was my role up until I took a career break, for a few years, to spend time with my young family. I returned to Hampshire Dentists in September 2023 and resumed my role as Lead Nurse..

Since joining Hampshire Dentists I have completed Dental Implant Nursing courses and qualified in Dental Radiography. I love to learn and endeavour to expand on my existing skills and knowledge during my Dental Nursing career.

What I love most about the job is the patients, there is so much to learn from people and I love getting to know everyone who steps foot into the surgery. I view the patient care aspect as the most important part of my role along with the chair side support I provide to the dentist. So that we can seamlessly provide you with a caring, relaxed, pain free experience and give you confidence in the quality of treatment you will receive.

Outside of dentistry I love spending time with my husband and two children. I like to keep active and enjoy long walks and cycle rides with friends and family, playing tennis and I have recently joined the local women’s cricket team.

Dental Nurse, GDC Number 308720

I completed my training to become fully qualified as a Dental Nurse in 2022 after doing my level 3 diploma at Eastleigh college.

Dental Receptionist

I joined the HD team in October 2019. Having previously worked in property management and graduating with an English degree, I decided to look for something different.

Working for Hampshire Dentists has vastly expanded my dental knowledge and I am excited to learn more about the industry whilst working alongside a fantastic team. Who knows, I may even wish to try nursing myself at some point!

I enjoy spending time with family and friends, reading, musicals and exploring different foods and cultures.

Dental Receptionist

I joined Hampshire Dentists in November 2019 and am loving every minute of it.

I have 8 years of experience as a Dental Receptionist though I am keen to broaden my knowledge on implants and cosmetic dentistry as these are new and exciting areas for me.

When I’m not working I enjoy going away in my motor home, walking in the countryside and spending time with family and friends.

Dental Receptionist

Hi I’m Natalie, after working many years in retail, hotels and beauty therapy I took a leap into something new and have now been in the Dental world for the past two years and can’t see myself doing anything else – I love it! I especially love helping nervous patients and putting them at ease when they arrive and seeing them each time they come in being more and more confident.

I love learning about all cosmetic and ortho treatments and products. In my spare time I like to spend time with my family and friends. A few of my favourite things to do are road trips, retail therapy, beach days and I love to travel to new places.

Background and dental interest

As the “wife of the boss”, my role in the practice is mainly consultative and supportive, drawing on my experience as a Marketing Manager with a well known blue chip brand, what seems a lifetime ago!

After a difficult start when we took over the practice in 2010, I was so amazed by how many people had been searching for where Rob had moved to and how fast word spread about his setting up on the High Street. We are privileged that so many of our patients have been coming to us since the very start. They have supported and encouraged us and in so many cases, been incredible ambassadors, championing Hampshire Dentists to their friends and family. Thank you to these Hampshire Dentists stars!

Living with Rob, I know what a perfectionist he is, meticulous with the very smallest and finest of details and whilst this may drive me to madness sometimes at home – who better could you trust than someone who takes such pride in everything he does? This ethos is embraced and carried by all the team members who work at the practice too. They are soft, gentle and helpful in every way and we continue to welcome team members who embrace this approach.

Outside of the practice, I am a Mum of two (soon to be three) little ones. They keep us on our toes and sometimes even at our wits end. Our eldest (son) would love to become a Dentist, he even managed to (safely) extract his little sisters very first tooth (with a little coaching from Daddy). He was a bit disappointed that he didn’t get a share of the tooth fairy profits though.
