MEET OUR DENTISTS

MEET OUR DENTISTS

Whether you love your smile and simply want to maintain your oral health, or whether you’d would like a full smile makeover with complex restorations, you can be assured that your smile is in great hands. Our dentists are skilled in a wide range of general and cosmetic dentistry options to give you the result you’re looking for.

I have worked at the Grange for over 20 years, alongside many of the current team. I’m so proud of the service and clinical care we provide to our lovely patients.

From routine procedures to complex reconstruction cases, I have extensive experience in all aspects of dentistry. 

My patients tell me that they like my ‘down to Earth’ and ‘straight-talking’ approach.

I know how important it is for patients to feel comfortable in surgery. If you (or someone you care for) are anxious, fearful or have additional needs, do let us know- we are here to help.

I have mentored many dentists throughout their clinical careers and I really enjoy supporting their development. 

I’m also an elected member of the British Dental Association. As part of this role, you will often find me campaigning to improve access to NHS dentistry for the UK population.

5 Star Google Review from Paul’s patient Dawn Telford:
 
The Grange Dental practice is the best dentist I have ever been to. After years of struggling with my teeth Paul actually listened to my problems and has now given me the confidence to smile again. He also gave me a root filling and I almost fell asleep in the chair as he was so gentle during this procedure.
I have had a tooth removed which I am always scared of and ever though it was difficult to remove, Paul made me feel at ease and reassured throughout the whole procedure.
I can not thank him and his team enough for everything they have done for me.
Paul is the best dentist I have ever been to and I highly recommend this dental practice enough.
I am one very happy customer

‘I was born in Billingham, and have spent my whole life in the North East. 

After going to University in Newcastle, I then returned home to Billingham and met Ruth. We married in 2006, and we now have 2 (very feisty) daughters. 

We also have a black GSP/ labrador cross named Solo (after ‘Han Solo’ of course).

Days off are spent hiking, wakesurfing or just hanging out watching rugby or old movies.’

Paul is a HUGE Star Wars supernerd; even his surgery is Star Wars themed.

Paul’s also a brown belt in Aikido, and hopes to earn his black belt some day.

‘I’ve been working here at the Grange for over 6 years and I love working in general dentistry. My nurse Lucy and I enjoy spending time talking to patients to ensure they feel at ease and to help reduce dental anxiety, especially with children.

My favourite part of my job is helping people to get a smile they love. To help my patients achieve these results I have further training and qualifications allowing me to offer them options such as:

  • Invisalign Go,
  • Composite Bonding, 
  • Veneers,
  • Boutique Whitening
  • Flexible dentures 
  • Restorative treatments such as crowns or white fillings.
I love seeing how happy my patients are when they see their new smile for the first time. ‘

‘I have a special interest in performing Smile Transformations, and I am an Invisalign Go Provider.

I understand that how my patients feel about their smile can impact many areas of their life. Many have avoided social situations or turned down work opportunities because they dislike their smile. 

The treatments I provide for my patients can often be life changing, and I feel honoured that they trust me to guide them through their smile transformations. 

If the way you feel about your smile is affecting your confidence, do get in touch. I will take the time to listen to your concerns, and then can discuss with you the treatment options that best fit your desired results, timeframe and budget.’

I know that choosing a new dentist can be daunting.

I often advise my potential patients to Google Grange Dental Practice and read my patient reviews. 

My patient Jenny McCabe left this lovely 5 star Google review… 
 
All the staff are really friendly and welcoming from the moment you enter. I find visiting the dentist quite nerve racking but Hanna is so reassuring and helpful. Wonderful people and wonderful service.’

‘Outside of work, I enjoy Pilates and weekend walks with my family.

I also love spending lots of time in my garden, and cooking.’

Hanna is a keen gardener, and even grows her own vegetables. 

‘I have degrees in both biomedical sciences and dentistry. 

I’ve worked at the Grange for several years. I love taking care of my patients, alongside my regular nurse Carole. 

I enjoy all aspects of general dentistry, and am focused on improving and maintaining oral health for my patients.’

‘I love practising general dentistry. 

In addition, I enjoy providing cosmetic procedures such as Boutique Whitening, Crowns and Cosmetic Fillings.’

One of Brooke’s 5 star Google reviews is from her patient Ruth Boston:

‘I visited the dentist recently after the top of a crown fell off . I was pretty anxious about what could be done and really needn’t have been . Brooke and her nurse quickly sorted it out making me feel very much at ease in the process . The whole team are so friendly and welcoming . I quickly made another appointment to follow up with a check up which was again faultless . Thank you again for making the experience a pleasant one , you all are the best.’

‘When I’m not working I enjoy socialising with friends and family. 

I love experiencing new cultures, and I travel as much as possible in my free time.’

Brooke is very active, and regularly goes to the gym.

She regularly challenges herself with new activities such as Tough Mudder and the Great North Run.

‘I’ve been qualified for 10 years and have worked all around the country (London, Southampton, Leeds).

I enjoy all aspects of general dentistry but my passion is orthodontics and minimally invasive aesthetic dentistry (composite bonding).

I really care about providing a high standard of care and prevention is my main focus.’

‘I have recently completed a year long post-graduate certificate in Restorative Dentistry with Tipton Training. This has really allowed me to grow my skills to provide a great finish to my treatments.

I am an Invisalign Go provider and also have experience in fixed braces. I love bringing these skills together to transform smiles.

‘I’m a busy mum of 2 little boys so that occupies most of my spare time! 

I love to travel and have a passion for history and other cultures. I enjoy cooking (and eating) food from all over the world.’

‘I’m hooked on true crime documentaries’

I have worked at the Grange for over 15 years, and love the friendly, atmosphere. I love seeing my patients grow up, and many patients I saw as children now bring their own children to come and see me. 

I am highly experienced in all aspects of General Dentistry, and also cosmetic procedures such as composite bonding, whitening and veneers. 

I have my level 7 Facial Aesthetics Diploma. Due to my advanced knowledge and skills in Facial Aesthetics I am also a National Trainer for the leading UK  Training Provider

‘I am hugely passionate about Facial Aesthetics. I am accredited as a Level 7 practitioner, and can offer my patients the very best treatments. 

My clients come to me through word of mouth, and usually seek out treatment which is either:

a) to address a medical concern e.g. muscle relaxing treatment for conditions such as excessive sweating or  teeth grinding or migraines, or Cryopen treatment for Skin Tag removal

OR

b) to feel more confident in their appearance. Facial aesthetics treatments can be used to make beautiful, subtle enhancements to a patient’s features (such as with tear trough under eye treatment or wrinkle relaxing). Other clients may opt for treatments may have a more transformative effect e.g. non surgical rhinoplasty or jaw sculpting.

Facial Aesthetics procedures can offer a perfect complement to cosmetic dental treatment too (e.g. lip plumping treatment alongside teeth whitening).

If you would like to book a facial aesthetics consultation or register with me as a new dental patient please do get in touch- it would be lovely to meet you. 

 

Emma is adored by her patients, many of whom have been with her for over ten years.
 
One of Emma’s 5 star Google reviews is from her patient Deb Fleming: 
 
‘I can’t praise them enough! For taking on a very phobic patient and being so supportive and caring to me despite the many challenges I caused, they have been kind friendly and very professional throughout. Nothing was too much trouble to help me get my smile back! From reception staff, to management, to the assistants and especially the amazing Emma as she is now known in this house! I doubt I would have made it this far with any other team. I now have such confidence in them I’ve moved my kids to their surgery and that’s the biggest praise there is for me. My heartfelt thanks for helping me get to this point and I’m so happy-massive happy grin to them all, it really has been a group effort from all. Very different experience from every other dental surgery I’ve set foot into.
I don’t have words enough to praise Emma and her team x’

‘I love spending time in the outdoors. I’m a keen runner, and get out into nature whenever I can. 

I have 2 young boys; they’re super energetic and they keep me on my toes. On days off we love going on day trips, or just hanging out with them in the woods or at the beach’

Emma spent many years training in ballet. Her posture is now the envy of the whole Practice. 

One of Tony’s 5 Star Google reviews is from his patient Christopher Little:

‘Wow… What a breath of fresh air Mr Morris is. The Grange Dental Practice exceeded my expectations & I was made to feel most welcome by all the team from arrival to departure. A most excellent & thorough examination which kept me informed throughout. As a result of today I am now going to add my mother to our Denplan who has just moved in with us from Scarborough. Thank you all again for the 5 star treatment. 🙂’

Tony is a keen road cyclist (and yes he does wear ALL the lycra!)
