I’m Tara I’m a qualified Dental Hygienist and Therapist with a passion for helping patients feel comfortable and confident about their smiles.

I enjoy getting to know my patients and making dental appointments a positive experience, especially for those who may feel a little nervous. I believe in taking a gentle, friendly approach and helping patients understand how to look after their oral health.

‍

Outside of dentistry, I love travelling, spending time with family and friends, and getting creative with arts and crafts. I particularly enjoy personalising items and creating unique designs. It’s my little form of therapy and a way for me to relax, unwind and express my creativity.

I believe in building a friendly rapport with young patients, helping them feel relaxed and reassured throughout their visit, so they leave with a positive experience and confidence about returning in the future.

Outside of work, I enjoy shopping and expanding my knowledge through studying my favourite subjects, science and history. I have a genuine curiosity for learning and a passion for developing my understanding of the world around me.

I’m Tadiwa the bubbly voice you hear when you call to book your first appointment!

I love making sure you feel welcomed, comfortable, and at ease from our very first interaction, even before you step through the doors of our practice. 

In my downtime, I’m a lover of quiet moments, taking time to relax, recharge, and reset. Whether I’m swimming on a hot summer’s day or curled up with a good book at dusk, I’m happiest when I can slow down, unwind, and enjoy the little things. 

This is the first smile you’ll see when you come to visit us. Helen is our receptionist and gets involved with a bit of everything. Helen creates her own soaps and creams in her free time, which she always likes to share with the team.
