DENTIST

Hi, I’m Alisha. I graduated from the University of Leeds in 2022.
Since then, I spent 2 years working at Newcastle Dental Hospital with a range of consultants of different specialities! During my time in the hospital, I carried out rotations in emergency dental care, oral surgery, paediatric dentistry and restorative dentistry. Working in the hospital gave me a wide breadth of experience with a lot of very complex cases. This has enabled me to enhance my skills within general dentistry, particularly with complex restorative cases, indirect and direct restorations, extractions, and dentally anxious patients!
I am particularly passionate about delivering high-quality general dentistry with an emphasis on aesthetics. Equally, I also have a lot of experience with complex extractions. I always ensure that my patients have a comfortable, pain-free experience, focusing on a gentle and compassionate approach. I believe in putting my patients’ needs first and always take the time to ensure that everyone fully understands and is engaged with their own treatment plan — after all, it is your smile!
Outside of dentistry I love travelling, going to the gym, doing pilates and long walks with my dog Cairo!

Dr Andy Pritchard graduated from Manchester Dental School with a prize in clinical research. His career in restorative and implant dentistry – through training at some of the country’s most prestigious centres – has been emblematic of his commitment to professionalism and delivering exceptional dental care.
