What I like about DHC :
I like the fact that our whole practice ethic is based on putting the patient first. We pride ourselves on our patient care. We work as a team and we do everything we can to take the “ouch” out of your visit, and help you enjoy a lifetime of good oral health - and your best possible smile.
My working day starts by being greeted with a cheerful “good morning” by one of the reception team, followed in quick order by a friendly “hello” from those members of the team who have arrived before me.
DHC offers a very wide range of treatment options to help our patients to keep good oral health, and our patients come from all ages and backgrounds. I find it satisfying to be able to spend quality time looking after the different needs of our patients.

Miss Helen Smith
I joined the Dental Profession straight from school. It has been my career for 39 years and in this time I have gained an immense amount of knowledge and still attend courses and dental conferences.
I started as a trainee Dental Nurse then became a Receptionist before gaining promotion to Practice Manager of a West End Dental Practice where I remained for over 21 years.
I became a full time carer but I missed dentistry which had been a large part of my life for so long. Dr Jetha offered to me a part time role which suited me perfectly.

Now I’m enjoying being part of an enthusiastic team who strive to offer a service of excellence.
