Originally part of a three-practice partnership involving three partners, Heather has owned her practice since 1997 when the original partnership split.

Heather has over 30 years of clinical experience and at least 24 years of senior management experience. She has overall control of the practice, regarding management, risk management, finance and budgeting, communications, planning and vision. 

In her leadership of the practice, Heather places an emphasis on holistic care in dentistry. Having long believed a healthy mouth equals a heathy body, she has focused the practice on preventative treatment as well as curative, encouraging patients to regularly visit hygienists to help keep teeth clean in hard to reach areas of the mouth where it is difficult to fully clean by brushing alone. 

The practice also pioneers the latest advancements in dental equipment and treatments, utilising digital scanners instead of moulded impressions for patients that require braces, and using laser treatment on teeth instead of physical drills; a technique which has also proven effective in treatments for gum disease within the practice.

Heather is a Member of the Faculty of General Dental Practitioners as well as the Fluoride Society and is passionate about reducing tooth decay, particularly in children and the most vulnerable. She is an ardent campaigner for the fluoridation of drinking water in the UK and lobbied local MP Gareth Bacon on the importance of introducing fluoride into the water supply to protect people’s oral health and prevent tooth decay.

In 2016, Heather launched her own private GP practice, a move driven by her holistic care approach. Appointments and treatments are delivered by private GPs.

She was previously chair of Bromley Local Dental Committee representing the committee locally and nationally. Within the role, Heather strived to ensure dentistry within Bromley was accessible to all, particularly the provision of out-of-hours treatment where it was required.
