Meet the Team

We would like to welcome you to the Aldeburgh and Framlingham Dental Practices and thank you for choosing us as your partner for oral and dental health care. Our philosophy is Total Dedication to Quality Dental Health Care. Paul qualified from Guys Hospital at the University of London in 1990. Highly commended by the BUPA quality assurance program, he joined Aldeburgh Dental Practice as principal in 1997. Cheryl qualified from The Eastman Dental Hospital London in 1998, where she joined Paul at the Aldeburgh Dental Practice working as locum hygienist / practice book keeper.

In 2005 Paul acquired the Framlingham Dental Practice. Both practices have developed considerably, expanding to multiple state of the art treatment and sterilisation rooms. The two practices work closely together and patients have the freedom to attend either site.

 

Both practices combine the very best of established techniques and procedures with the latest technological advances in equipment and materials. Our aim is to offer you all the benefits of modern pain free dentistry.

I was born and have spent most of my life in Suffolk. 

I am dedicated to my profession and make it my mission to pursue excellence in dental care. This means I work hard to ensure that my patients are dentally healthy, can eat with ease and confidence, and have a smile they are happy with. 
 
My goal is to make every visit a positive and reassuring experience. I understand the importance of listening to and addressing your needs. 
 
I qualified in Dentistry at King’s College London and, before this, studied Pharmacy at University College London. This dual background has allowed me to become a better clinician. 
 
I thoroughly enjoy all aspects of general dentistry and am currently furthering my expertise in the subspecialty of Endodontics (Root Canal Treatment) by pursuing a Masters level training at Queen Mary’s London.
