Meet Dr Hannah

I’m really looking forward to meeting you and your child.

I’m a general dentist who works closely with children and their parents to support positive, lasting attitudes towards oral health and dental care. My focus is prevention, early intervention, and timely emergency treatment, with the goal of helping children maintain healthy, pain-free smiles long term.

A place children can feel comfortable

I want my dental chair to be a place where children feel safe, supported, and even excited to be. My room is filled with encouragement, reassurance, and the occasional proud visit to the prize box after a brave effort. My goal is for every child to leave feeling capable, cared for, and comfortable coming back to look after their lifelong oral health.

My approach to caring for children

Working with children is both a privilege and a responsibility. I value the honesty, energy, and individuality they bring, and I take care to meet each child where they’re at, whether it’s their first visit or they’re attending with a concern.

My approach is calm, structured, and focused on creating a safe and respectful clinical environment. I also use humour and a light, playful manner when it helps children feel at ease, while still keeping care clear and purposeful.

My clinical focus in children’s dentistry

My clinical focus includes early detection and management of dental decay, restorative care including stainless steel and prefabricated zirconia crowns, and management of dental trauma.

I also provide treatment under nitrous oxide (happy gas) where appropriate and regularly manage dental emergencies. Prompt, effective care is always a priority, especially when a child is in pain.

Prevention and long-term care

I place a strong emphasis on prevention, education, and long-term oral health. By working closely with families, I aim to help build practical habits at home and support confident, informed decisions about dental care.

My goal is not just to treat problems as they arise, but to reduce the likelihood of them occurring in the first place.

This is a beautifully set out, family-friendly clinic with exceptional staff and service. Our 2 year old's first trip to the dentist was made so easy. I cannot recommend this clinic highly enough for the care, kindness, skill, and professionalism of both clinical and administrative staff.
