Our Dentists
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!

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.

Hi I’m Max,
After qualifying from Dental School in Dundee, I spent an enjoyable year in the Western Isles of Scotland. Since then, I have worked in a community hospital, taught students at Dundee Dental Hospital, worked in oral and maxilofacial surgery and completed a Masters degree in implantology. I now work in General practice and love it.
As well as implants, I also have a keen interest in cosmetic tooth alignment, tooth whitening and endodontics.
I now live in the north east with my beautuful wife and two children.
I love swimming, writing poetry, travelling and meeting people from different cultures.

Our Dental Nurses
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!

Hi, I’m Lauren
I was excited to join the team at Belmont Dental Practice in 2019 as an apprentice dental nurse. Before coming to Belmont I had completed an NVQ in Business administartion in a local care home. This gave me a good grounding for switching to dentistry, with regard to patient care, consent and communication. I realised I wanted to work more hands on with caring for patients and dentistry has given me this opportunity.

Our Receptionists
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.
