Summary

A patient-focused general dentist with 2.5 years of experience in both fast-paced and slower private practice settings across the UK and Australia. I enjoy a wide range of treatments including facial aesthetics and composite veneers. I have a particular interest in oral surgery and implantology, having assisted in implant cases early in my career and now actively seeking further training and clinical exposure in this area. I’m confident working independently, skilled with digital workflows (iTero and Medit), and take pride in my clear, visual communication style that supports strong patient relationships by ensuring patients are fully informed of their diagnosis and treatment. I’m seeking a workplace that offers clinical support toward my long-term career goals, particularly in implantology, while also providing a new challenge and a busy, engaging environment where I can continue to grow.
