Dental Nurse

I completed my training to become fully qualified as a Dental Nurse in 2022 after doing my level 3 diploma at Eastleigh college.

Dental Receptionist

I joined the HD team in October 2019. Having previously worked in property management and graduating with an English degree, I decided to look for something different.

Working for Hampshire Dentists has vastly expanded my dental knowledge and I am excited to learn more about the industry whilst working alongside a fantastic team. Who knows, I may even wish to try nursing myself at some point!

I enjoy spending time with family and friends, reading, musicals and exploring different foods and cultures.

When I’m not working I enjoy going away in my motor home, walking in the countryside and spending time with family and friends.

Dental Receptionist

Hi I’m Natalie, after working many years in retail, hotels and beauty therapy I took a leap into something new and have now been in the Dental world for the past two years and can’t see myself doing anything else – I love it! I especially love helping nervous patients and putting them at ease when they arrive and seeing them each time they come in being more and more confident.

I love learning about all cosmetic and ortho treatments and products. In my spare time I like to spend time with my family and friends. A few of my favourite things to do are road trips, retail therapy, beach days and I love to travel to new places.

Background and dental interest

As the “wife of the boss”, my role in the practice is mainly consultative and supportive, drawing on my experience as a Marketing Manager with a well known blue chip brand, what seems a lifetime ago!

After a difficult start when we took over the practice in 2010, I was so amazed by how many people had been searching for where Rob had moved to and how fast word spread about his setting up on the High Street. We are privileged that so many of our patients have been coming to us since the very start. They have supported and encouraged us and in so many cases, been incredible ambassadors, championing Hampshire Dentists to their friends and family. Thank you to these Hampshire Dentists stars!

Living with Rob, I know what a perfectionist he is, meticulous with the very smallest and finest of details and whilst this may drive me to madness sometimes at home – who better could you trust than someone who takes such pride in everything he does? This ethos is embraced and carried by all the team members who work at the practice too. They are soft, gentle and helpful in every way and we continue to welcome team members who embrace this approach.

Outside of the practice, I am a Mum of two (soon to be three) little ones. They keep us on our toes and sometimes even at our wits end. Our eldest (son) would love to become a Dentist, he even managed to (safely) extract his little sisters very first tooth (with a little coaching from Daddy). He was a bit disappointed that he didn’t get a share of the tooth fairy profits though.
