Kirsty’s dental career began in 2014 and she has worked in multiple roles within dentistry. Kirsty is a qualified dental nurse so you are as likely to meet her in the dental surgery as greeting you as part of our front of house team. Kirsty’s warmth and empathy helps even our most nervous patients feel they can achieve the smile they are looking for, and she finds it rewarding to see happy patients at the end of their treatments beaming from ear to ear.
Outside of dentistry Kirsty loves to go horse riding in her free time, when not catching up with her friends and family.
