Hi, I’m Rhiannon! I graduated from Newcastle University in 2009 and have since worked across many areas of dentistry.  My main roles have included working as a general dental practitioner in Sunderland, teaching restorative dentistry at Newcastle Dental School, completing a PhD and working for NHS England in a public health role.

I joined Newburn Dental Surgery in 2025 and it has been a pleasure to join such a great team and get to know all of my new patients.  I enjoy all aspects of general dentistry and helping my patients get their dental needs met, whatever they may be.

Outside of dentistry, I am kept very busy by my two children, enjoy spending time with friends and family, being outside in nature and keeping fit and healthy.

Hi I’m Molly! I qualified as a Dental Therapist in 2024 at Newcastle University. Whilst studying, I won awards for the highest overall marks in the written examinations and clinical skills. I also won the Roy Howell medal for the best overall performance throughout the course. I then went on to complete my foundation training year, working in general practice, the community dental service, and the paediatric department at Newcastle Dental Hospital. I have a keen interest in treating anxious patients and children.

Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my family and friends!

Hi! I’m Samantha! I qualified as a Dental Therapist in 2014 and gained further qualifications in Facial Aesthetics in 2018 and Teeth Whitening in 2020. I have been fortunate to work with supportive dentists throughout my career who have allowed me to use my full scope of practice from fillings and hygiene treatments to stain removal, teeth whitening, and composite bonding. I am also the Facial aesthetics provider here at Newburn Dental.

Outside of work I enjoy playing netball and spending time with my husband and two daughters!

Hi, I’m Alison! I studied Biochemistry before graduating from Dentistry at Newcastle University in 2014. I then undertook further training in Oral and Maxillofacial surgery, and community dentistry. I have a particular interest in treating nervous patients and have achieved a diploma in Sedation.

Outside of work I enjoy pilates and travelling!

He enjoys the variety of the day, undertaking all aspects of general dentistry. Lee has a keen
interest in treating anxious patients, taking pleasure in seeing their oral health improve as
their anxiety diminishes.
Outside of dentistry he enjoys spending time with his nieces and nephew, cooking, going for
walks in and around the North East and attending wine tastings.
