Meet The Team

I studied dentistry at Plymouth University and graduated in 2021. I feel privileged to have a dental career that I am passionate about, as I enjoy improving patient’s oral health and wellbeing.

I particularly enjoy making dentures, due to the impact it can have on patient’s confidence. I am keen to continually improve my knowledge and skills and I am looking forward to a Finley Sutton Denture course this June 2024.

I was born in Plymouth and love being so close to the coast and Dartmoor. In my spare time you will usually find me hiking or camping and I am trying to brave more cold water dips!

I started my dental career in 2002 working as a dental assistant. I had a particular interest in oral health and disease prevention.

In 2014 I studied dental hygiene and therapy here in Plymouth and graduated with a distinction and honours. I have a particular interest in preventative dentistry focusing on children and adults alike.

Currently, I am working towards a diploma in pediatric dentistry. I enjoy treating children with a positive and patient approach focusing heavily on education and prevention.

Dental hygiene is also a huge part of my role. I provide ‘Guided Biofilm Therapy’ to treat and prevent gum disease.

I grew up in Plymouth and absolutely love the South hams. I spend my free time enjoying the outdoors with my family, Glen the horse and 2 border terriers.

In 2022 I graduated as a Dental Therapist with Merit from Peninsula Dental School in Plymouth. I have always been more passionate about the cosmetic aspect of dentistry. In the beginning of 2024 I completed a composite masterclass which has allowed me to offer more cosmetic treatments to patients such as composite bonding and composite veneers. I will be starting my post graduate diploma this September 2024 in Aesthetic Dentistry to further my skillset and knowledge around these treatments. To be able to regenerate a patients smile with minimally invasive techniques and boost their confidence is something I am passionate about. I will also soon be offering facial aesthetic treatments in practice such as Dermal Fillers and treatments for excessive sweating. Alongside the cosmetic aspect, I also offer general dental treatments such as exams, whitening, GBT and fillings. Although I was born in the UK, I grew up in Seattle, WA so I enjoy going back to see my family as much as possible. I enjoy going to the gym and being outdoors in my spare time.

My career in dental nursing started when I was worked in a practice in Spain as a Dental Nurse/Interpreter, I worked there for three years before moving back to the UK.

A couple of years after returning to the UK I decided to get back into nursing. I began working as a nurse again in 2019 and began studying for the National Diploma in dental nursing, qualifying in 2021.

I hope to continue my development with the support of the team here at Eilertsen Dental Care, with particular interest in implantology.

I was born in Plymouth and moved to Spain when I was 10 years and lived there for 13 years, speak Spanish fluently and love going back to see my family when I can.

My time working within dentistry spans over 10 years as a qualified nurse and more recently receptionist in both private and NHS practices. I have worked along side general dentists, dental specialists, therapists and hygienists assisting in a range of treatments, in particular root treatments and periodontal disease, all the while working front of house. I have a great understanding of patient nerves and am patient focused. I aim to ensure patients are reassured and leave the practice having had a positive dental experience. I enjoy my role as a dental receptionist and everyday look forward to welcoming patients into Eilertsen Dental care. Moving forward I’m excited to take on a more administrative role within a dental practice and be involved in the day to day running’

I decided to become a dental nurse in 2019. At that time I worked as a personal carer but felt it was time for me to try something new. A bad dental experience meant I had a fear of the dentist which led me to having to be sedated for treatment. Which means I can empathise with patients who are also fearful and try and help them through dental visits with our team. I would like to develop my knowledge in dental photography and in impression techniques. I discovered dental photography after I worked with a dentist who gave a presentation on why dental photography was useful in the clinical environment. The talk covered several points including things that can be learned by taking a photo for development of skills and monitoring of problems that a patient might experience. I am also interested in sedation nursing. I was born here in Plymouth and when I am not busy with studying and working, I enjoy making cakes and cupcakes for family and friends, and I also like draw in my spare time. I enjoy going out for walks in the evenings or riding my bike when I can and if the weather is good. In the future I am hoping to do some travel to see new things and places.

My interest in dental nursing came from my desire in helping people. Having family members who have had traumatic dental experiences and are dental phobic, i have wanted to provide a service which i would want my own family and friends to be in receipt of. I began my dental career in 2021 as a trainee dental nurse and qualified in early 2023 with a National Level 3 Extended Diploma in Dental Nursing. I am looking to persue my career as a dental nurse and to provide an enhanced service and complete additional courses with my main interest being in Oral Hygiene.

In my spare time i enjoy being outside and being by the seaside with my dog. I enjoy keeping fit whether that be walking, yoga, cycling or playing netball. I have a great passion for interior design and alongside working i am currently renovating my home.

I started working as a trainee dental nurse in August 2021 prior to starting dental school in Plymouth, which fuelled my love for dentistry. I qualified as a dental nurse during my first year at dental school and continue to work as a dental nurse on the weekends which I love, getting to see excellent treatment and the opportunity to speak with patients and make them feel at ease. I am now finishing my third year at university with two more years to go. In my spare time I enjoy running, spending quality time with family and friends and exploring Devon and Cornwall.

I grew up in a small village in the northeast of England, where my career started in 2018, qualifying with a National Diploma in Dental Nursing. I have worked in both private and NHS dental practices throughout my career. My passion for all things teeth has continuously grew over the years, so I made the move to Plymouth in 2021 to continue my studies at university. Since moving here I have fallen in love with Devon and Cornwall and I enjoy all things outdoors; walking, sea swimming and camping.
