ABOUT US

Charlotte Constantine BDS (Ncl)

Hi, I’m Charlotte.

After growing up in the south of England, I decided to do my dental degree in Newcastle and in 2000 I graduated with merit.  I have been working in the North East ever since.

I have worked in general practice since I started dentistry and my path has now led to Belmont, to run my own practice. Here is where I plan to stay, creating the kind of environment that is both fun to work in and upholds that high standards that is expected of a modern dental practice.

I enjoy all aspects of dentistry, as it allows me to employ my natural need to fix things. But the most rewarding thing about the job, is the smile on peoples faces when you improve the appearance of their teeth, or when you fix things that they have previously been told is unfixable!

Over the last few years, I have been increasingly involved in more advanced cosmetic dentistry. Now I am working towards a Diploma in Endodontics. 

I look forward to meeting you all and helping you achieve the smile of your dreams!

This is what my colleagues think of me!

• Very approachable and supportive to patients and staff
• As well as fixing teeth we see Charlotte as a DIY specialist!

Catherine Jarvis BDS (Ncl)

Hi, my name is Catherine.

Having qualified from Newcastle dental school in 2002 I have enjoyed being a dentist and I feel very fortunate to have picked a career where I can really help people and build up lasting relationships with so many people.

I recently completed an advanced restorative course to be more involved with more complex crown and bridgework.
We are always striving to increase our knowledge and improve our skills. This is both a personal mission, and a requirement from our professional governing body. We feel that being fully up to date with current practices and equipment is an essential part of modern dentistry.

When I am not busy being a dentist I like to run with my dog and am in training for a marathon! I  also a passion for Zumba and Pilates.

• Always cheerful and smiling, and a good advert for “pearly whites!”

Caroline Rodwell

Hello, I’m Caroline.

I have now been a dental nurse for 100 years and I love working with the general public. I think it is a challenging career, but very rewarding.
I particularly like being involved with cosmetic dentistry because it changes peoples lives and gives them great confidence.

As well as dental nursing, I also enjoyed a brief spell working as a community care worker, helping people rehabilitate after hospitalisation, which I found  extremely rewarding. It’s always a great feeling to know that you have helped someone.
I have recently gained my Oral Health Education certificate. This means that I have a more direct involvement with educating patients and promoting good habits, which in turn will improve oral health.  I am also qualified to assist during sedation procedures.

In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family and taking long walks with my dog. I also enjoy going to the gym and Zumba!

This is what my colleagues think of me!

• Caroline is the most cheerful dental nurse I have ever worked with and nothing is too much trouble.
• She is a great listener for both staff and patients. And people are always singing her praises.

I’ve been a dental nurse since 2013 and I love it.  Every day is a new buzz and always a challenge. I can’t wait to find out what happens next.

This is what my colleagues think of me!

• Carley has a great positive attitude to everything she touches her hand to.  If she keeps it up, then she will soon have me meditating.

Julie Sanyang

Hello, I’m Julie

I have been working in dentistry for over  35 years, and since 2010 I have been running our reception. I love working with the public and find that my dental knowledge assists me greatly in my current role. I have recently completed a customer service and business administration qualification and am working continualloy on keeping up to date with dental regulations.

I lived and worked in The Gambia for 8 years and I ran a project with my husband to build a clinic and water well in a remote village. We held lots of fund raising events which enabled us to open a medical centre for those who have no other access to any medical support.

In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my two grandsons, who keep me young and on my toes.

This is what my colleagues think of me!

• No slacking on Julie’s watch, she keeps us all busy!
• Very organised and goes through a lot of post-it notes!
