Justin Toal – Senior Associate Dentist

I qualified from Glasgow University coming first in my year for orthodontics which I have a keen interest in, along with cosmetic dentistry. I have worked in Lanark (Scotland) and the north west of England before joining GDP Cosmetics back in June 2007. I regularly attend courses to stay providing the very best and latest treatments, using the best materials. 2009 will bring the addition of implant dentistry to provide every aspect of dentistry to our patients here. For the past year along side cosmetic dentistry I have been delivering facial aesthetics treatments (using Botox and fillers) with fantastic results and a lot of very happy patients. Just ask for information about any of the treatments, Don’t be shy, It’s really straight forward and not scary at all!

Dionne Stone – Practice Manager

I joined the practice back in May 2006 where I was a trainee dental nurse and receptionist. I enjoyed my role at GDP and working with all the team. I then decided to take a career change in June 2007 where I went and worked at our local hospital I was getting on well there and enjoyed my job. When I was asked to return to GDP back in July 2008 I jumped at the chance as the saying goes there is no place like home. I have never worked any where else other than here where the atmosphere is great and the team are excellent everyone is very friendly and works together. I came back to cover management of Reception while Alison was on maternity leave as Assistant Manager which I am really enjoying as a challenging job role.

Kathy Robertson – Dental Nurse / Receptionist

I obtained my certificate for Dental Nursing (NEBDN) at Kings College Dental School in May 1998. I took a short break to have my two children and worked for a while with the elderly where I gained my NVQ 2&3 in Health and Social Care and numerous other qualifications. I returned to dental nursing and joined the very friendly team at GDP 2 years ago. I have worked in both NHS and Private practices. I am on the dental care professional register and am a member of the British Association for Dental Nurses. I regularly attend courses to keep updated with current regulations.

Laura O’Donnell – Dental Nurse / Receptionist

Before joining GDP I studied Health & Social care at East Surrey College where I gained a Pass grade. I found Dental Nursing very interesting so I decided I would find a role in this and that’s where I came across GDP. My first impressions of GDP where that they were a modern practice and the team seemed very friendly so I felt I would be happy here. That’s when I joined the practice a year and a half ago, I recently took my exam in November for my certificate in Dental Nursing which I studied at Carshalton College part-time as well as working here at GDP, I received my results in January and passed.

Kym James – Hygienist

Before qualifying as a Dental surgery assistant at University College Hospital, London I knew that I wanted to become a Dental Hygienist. I was fortunate to be awarded a place at RAF Halton where I qualified in December 1980.I have worked in London and Surrey both in NHS and private practices including Harley Street.

I have taken two career breaks to have my children. I attend courses and training to keep me up to date with the developments within dentistry.

I was lucky enough to join GDP, three years ago, soon after the practice opened, and have enjoyed being part of this friendly team since then.
