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. I have a specific interest in Root Fillings and have achieved my 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 have 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 enjoy Pilates and I am more than happy to catch up with friends over a gin or 2!

Hi I’m Lucy,
I grew up in Cheshire and qualified with Hons from Newcastle in 1999.
I chose to work in practice, where I enjoy meeting lots of different people. I thrive on the variety offered in general practice.
I particularly enjoy helping nervous patients feel more comfortable. Plus, I love learning and teaching and have previously mentored foundation dentists.
I am looking forwards to meeting the patients and working with you to achieve a healthy smile.
When I am not at work, I am out in the hills with my boys, playing tennis or chilling with my Cats.

Our Dental Nurses
Hello, I’m Caroline.
I have now been a dental nurse for over 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 and implants 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 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.
This is what my colleagues think of me!

Hello! I’m Chloe,
Having been wanting to start an apprenticeship in dental nursing for some time, I joined the Belmont Team in July 2021. I am currently enrolled on the Dental nurse diploma course at Durham college. I am loving my switch to dental nursing and am settling into the friendly team really well.
Out of work I enjoy walking my dog, socialising with friends and also spending time with my family.

Hi, I’m Maddy,
I started my Dental Nursing journey as an Apprentice in 2021, and qualified from New College Durham in 2023 having completed my Dental Nursing Diploma.
I love all things teeth. From restorative procedures like crowns and bridges, to more advanced procedures like implants. I love to see how these treatments can transform a patient’s smile and their confidence! The most important role for me is to make the patient’s journey as enjoyable and comfortable as possible.
Outside of work, you’ll find me at my allotment with my chickens and ducks or spending time with family and friends.
I look forward to meeting you all!

I qualified as a dental nurse in 2016 and have had lots of experience in many aspects of dentistry, from implants to orthodontics, aesthetics to smile makeovers.
It is important to make others smile and feel good, whether they need their confidence back or just need cheering up!
If I’m not at work you will find me in the gym or at home taming my pride of cats.
I look forward to meeting you all.

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.
