I am a general dental practitioner delivering quality dentistry in a high tech environment, I provide a full compliment of both cosmetic and general dentistry using our latest technology, I have an interest in Endodontics, and I am passionate about Cad Cam dentistry using our Cerec Technology for the benefit of my patients.

I graduated from Leeds Dental School in 2010 and have recently completed a longitudinal foundation training scheme in the Maxillofacial Department at Pinderfields Hospital. I have an interest in oral surgery, orthodontics and children’s dentistry.

I’m a keen sportsman and enjoy all racket sports, as well as golf and skiing with the rest of my family. I am married to Sophie, a fellow dentist and have 2 children, a son and a daughter.

The idea was to merge the absolute latest technologies with some good old fashioned customer service. I wanted it to be about honesty, trust, openness, compassion and respect, as these things are important to me. And what of my past? Well I qualified from Leeds Dental Institute in 1983 (BChD), where I immediately joined the NHS as an associate in both Hebden Bridge and Cleckheaton.

After three years, I was invited to become a partner in the Hebden Bridge practice. I also completed a two year post graduate orthodontic position at Leeds Dental Institute along with a series of one year programmes under the guidance of Dr Paul Tipton. These courses included Restorative, Advanced Restorative, Cosmetics, Implants and Clinical Skills and really helped shape my decision to subsequently convert my NHS practice into a private practice.

I’m a Full Member of the BACD – I achieved this because of my post grad training at Liverpool with Didier Dietschi, the guru of modern day composite. I’m also a member of the BDBS (British Dental Bleaching Society), a Fellow Member of the World Clinical Laser Institute, Cerec Mentor for Ivoclar and Key Opinion Leader for Kerr.

Because we’re all about people, I like my customers to know a bit about me. I’m married to Carole and together we have three children. Stephen is 33 and also a dentist, working here at Honesty; Andrew is 31 and works in dental recruitment, whilst our youngest, Lauren aged 26, is currently working in Dubai furthering her laser studies in a dermatology clinic. As for what I do in my spare time? Well at the tender age of 60, I confess I like nothing more than a good game of golf, a bit of snooker, or some photography. And, if time permits, heading off to the slopes for a bit of skiing with my family.

I have a passion to deliver expert quality dentistry with a holistic approach to better the fitness of my patients. I provide a full spectrum of cosmetic dentistry using the latest in technology and research, especially for anxious patients. I have years of experience in using sedation techniques for both surgical and routine dental procedures.

My special interests in the field of Implantology culminated in a Master’s degree from the University of Warwick. I conducted three years of research to submit my thesis, which I was invited to present at The International Association of Dental Research in Seattle last year. I believe that with my skillset and experience, even the most nervous patients can be treated with dental implants. My passion for education led me to start another Masters at King’s College London, to learn about advanced methods of restoring the most complicated situations.

I also take a keen interest in teaching and lecturing to fellow colleagues and clinicians. I have been to several national seminars, international symposiums and conferences to spread the joy of quality dentistry.

I am happily married to my lovely wife Pari, who is also a dentist and have a young son. Badminton, cooking and music take up most of my time when not studying.

I then moved to Yorkshire with my fiancé and we have both been working as dentists in the area since.

I am a general dentist with a passion for restorative and cosmetic dentistry. Currently, I am studying for a masters degree in Prosthodontics at the University of Central Lancashire. This will enable me to tackle more challenging cases and create beautiful smiles for my patients.

I am very keen to keep up to date with all the latest skills and techniques and excited to be able to provide my patients at honesty with the best care using their innovative technology.

In my spare time I enjoy looking after my golden retriever Millie and exploring the Yorkshire Dales. I also like to play golf at my local club Bracken Ghyll. My oldest interest lies in rugby which began when I played for Blackpool RUFC, North Lancashire and finally Lancashire. I enjoy travelling and gained open water certification in scuba diving whilst in Costa Rica in 2018. Volunteering is also important to me, and in 2014 I had the opportunity to be involved in dental volunteer work in Bali and I completed the Great North Run in 2016.

…which is why we place so much importance on getting it absolutely right at Honesty.

So when we talked about setting up Honesty, it made perfect sense for me to take on the role of Practice Manager to oversee the smooth running of the practice. I was in banking until 1987 (when I left to look after our children), so here I get to use both my people and financial skills. I’m responsible for resolving any patient complaints, so if you have any questions about our complaints procedure, please get in touch with me.

I’d already worked with Richard at Hebden Bridge so we knew we made a good team professionally. And we’ve drawn on that experience into making Honesty that little bit more ‘special’. We wanted it to be friendly but professional. Caring, yet respectful. And have a culture that promoted our willingness to always go that little bit further to make it a pleasant experience. When I do get spare time, I like getting away for family skiing holidays. But I also love gardening, interior design and hitting the stage! As a member of Bingley Amateurs, I get to be ‘me’ and indulge in some singing and dancing.

I previously worked in a hotel as a wedding and events planner. I was delighted to join the reception team at Honesty where I could go back to dealing with people face to face and put the patient first.

In my spare time, I enjoy reading, walking and spending time with my family.

Even before I started work at the new Shipley practice, I was already part of the Honesty family.

I’m married to dentist Stephen Denny, who is the son of Clinical Director Richard and Practice Manager Carole Denny. I’ve been a practising dentist for 10 years, and am currently completing an Enhanced Level 7 Certificate in Injectables for Aesthetic Medicine.

After years in dentistry, it’s nice to be able to give people a procedure they enjoy and that can rapidly make a real difference to their appearance.

When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time with Stephen and our daughter Lilah, aged 4.

After deciding I wanted to progress further, I set my sights on becoming a Dental Therapist.

I undertook the Dental Hygiene and Dental Therapy course at Leeds University in 2009 and I graduated in December 2011 with a Graduate Diploma in Dental Hygiene and Dental Therapy.

I have a keen interest in paediatric dentistry and like to find ways to make dental appointments fun, as well as educational, to build children’s confidence within the dental setting. The most rewarding part of my job is providing patients with the skills to improve and maintain their oral health, to give them a smile they can be proud of.

In my spare time I enjoy books, travelling and trips to the cinema.

It’s about prevention rather than cure. This means I take time to get to know my patients, understand their lifestyles and come up with a dental routine that’s going to work for them. I’ve studied techniques to help phobic patients and work closely with nervous patients to help overcome their fears. Committed to post graduate education, I continually further my knowledge and skills to the benefit of my patients.

As a dual qualified dental hygienist and therapist (Leeds Dental Institute 2008 with merit) I get involved in everything from professional teeth cleaning, to offering education in dental hygiene and – working closely with Richard – to providing nutritional advice, taking radiographs and placing restorations in both adults and children. I find my work with children particularly rewarding. Once you’ve ingrained a healthy attitude to dental hygiene at an early age, you reap the rewards as they grow. We also offer additional services to children – such as helping with extracting baby teeth for those that are finding it uncomfortable or distressful. Outside of work, my interests are in good food, playing the piano and spending time with my children.

I work with Sophie at Honesty Aesthetics and my area of interest is enhancing the lips. I recently gained certification from a lip enhancement master class.

I joined the team here at Honesty in July 2020, when we returned to work after the lockdown had forced us to close the practice. It was a challenging time for us all, but I have experienced the best team work and most genuinely caring work force I have ever worked with. It has been an extremely rewarding experience, I have taken up the role of Invisalign patient co-ordinator and work alongside Adam, our specialist orthodontist. I absolutely love my role and the lovely patients I have met along the way.

I take pride in patient care and have a true passion for my job, striving to better myself at every opportunity. I am qualified in conscious IV sedation and have experience in both orthodontic, implant and surgical nursing.
In my spare time I like to work on home improvements as my partner and I have just bought our first home together.

My favourite part of the job is meeting patients and I’m known for always being cheerful and making great efforts to put my patients at ease! In my spare time I enjoy keeping fit at the gym, watching films and spending time with my friends. I’ve recently returned from maternity leave and now have 2 children.

My extra qualifications were oral health educator, NVQ assessing and impression taking. I love the patient interaction that my skill set provides and I am a firm believer in prevention. I have found over the years that people are motivated more if they fully understand the reasons and benefits of the advice being given.

I have worked within the NHS, orthodontics and the private sector, gaining life long experience with helping patients from a wide variety of backgrounds and circumstances. I love the fact that no two patients are the same and each day is different, it’s certainly an interesting career.
In my free time I love music, especially love concerts. I like to travel but my real guilty pleasure is camping.

I am looking forward to standing in for Catherine as Head Nurse while she is on maternity leave.

Working at Honesty gives me the opportunity to increase my knowledge using the latest high tech technology. I can honestly say I couldn’t have found a better place to work. Being a part of Team Honesty has given me a new-found enthusiasm and I am proud to be part of this award winning team. In my spare time I enjoy singing and dancing.

Before that, after studying for several years, I obtained a degree in Criminology and an MSc in Forensic Archaeology and CSI.Alongside my studies, I’ve worked in many customer service roles, so understand the importance of great team work when delivering first class customer service. I’ve also had laboratory experience, so I know how important attention to detail is in order to provide that outstanding service.

In my free time, I love learning new skills whether it be new languages or new gym/dance style classes. At home I enjoy spending time with my fiancé, working out and vegetarian cooking.

I hope to take my final exams and be a fully qualified dental nurse in May 2020. I have learnt so much since I started and have found it all really interesting.

I enjoy working at Honesty due to the team I work with. I also enjoy nursing for the more complex treatment and getting to know all our patients.

I am delighted to be back with the team after having to take some time off due to personal reasons. I love looking after all our wonderful patients. I enjoy working with the team and strive to learn something new every day.

In my free time I love spending time with my family and going for long walks.

I really enjoy working at Honesty. I love my job, it is very rewarding and I am able to gain more knowledge within dentistry. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family and looking after my two horses.
