Meet The Team

“I’m originally from sunny Portugal, where I graduated as a dentist and also obtained a Master’s degree in Oral Microbiology. I have been practising in the UK since 2013, working as a General Dentist in the South West. I enjoy straightening teeth and have been studying for several years to provide gold standard care for my patients. I have a Post Graduate Diploma in Clear Aligners (Invisalign), which allows me to provide more comprehensive treatment with aligners that would traditionally only be achieved with fixed braces. I also have a level 7 Aesthetic Training, which allows me to provide botulinum toxin treatments as well as dermal fillers.

I am also an academic, working as a lecturer and supervisor at Plymouth University Peninsula Dental School, where I aim to teach the younger generation of dentists to be conscious, quality practitioners, as well as doing research.

In 2023, I have completed a Post Graduate Certificate in Clinical education, and I am currently studying to obtain another Master’s Degree, this one in orthodontics, which will allow me to further expand the array of treatments that I can offer to straighten teeth.

In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my daughter and partner, planting veggies in my garden, knitting and playing videogames.”

I grew up in Portsmouth and graduated from Peninsula Dental School in 2018. During my degree I fell in love with the South West and chose to stay in the area.

I enjoy all aspects of Dental Therapy, but particularly restorative work to improve on form and function. I am also passionate about creating a comfortable environment, where I can empower my patients to look after their own oral health; with prevention being better than cure!

In 2020 I was lucky enough to be invited back to University to study Dental Surgery and will be qualifying later this year.

Outside of dentistry I am a keen weightlifter and regularly train in CrossFit.

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 Botox, 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 as a trainee in 2012 and I went on to receive my diploma in dental nursing in 2014. I have since received a certificate in dental radiography and hope to be able to expand my skill set further whilst at Eilertsen Dental Care.

I have only lived in Plymouth for about a year but I’m already in love with being by the sea! In my spare time I enjoy keeping fit, watching live music and visiting my family and friends back in Reading.

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.
