GDC Registration : 84579 – Role : Dentist
I am the principal dentist at Dental 397 Exeter and took over the practice in 2013.
I qualified as a dentist in February 2000 and I have lived in Exeter since 2002. Prior to owning Dental 397, I had worked in dental practices in Taunton, Tiverton and most recently, Cullompton.
I achieved a Diploma of Membership of the Joint Dental Faculties with the Royal College of Surgeons England in 2009 as well as producing a portfolio of evidence demonstrating “Evidence of compliance with the general dental council core areas, demonstrating continuing professional development and good patients care”. I am highly committed to postgraduate education.
I am enrolled with a number of post-graduate clinical dentistry programs. This ensures that my patients are always provided with up-to-date treatment choices and have access to the most modern dental treatments available.
I am married with 3 daughters and comfortable in the presence of all things pink!
In my spare time, I enjoy swimming, reading Psychologies Magazine and watching TED seminars.

GDC Registration : 216708 – Role : Dentist
I qualified from Barcelona University in 1998 and worked as a private dentist until we moved to the UK in 2012. After gaining post-graduate certificate in 2004 on Implantology, Periodontics and Prosthetics I moved forward to perform more surgical and restorative treatments for a further 7 years.
Prior moving to Dental 397, I have been working in several dental practices in Exeter, Honiton and Sidmouth. I am a dedicated, committed and skilled general dental practitioner with a special interest in Implants and Periodontics, who always strives to provide treatment to the highest quality standards, putting patients’ interest first and trying to ease them to the dental chair.
I enjoy continuing to develop my skills as a dentist by attending various courses every year to keep up-to-date all my clinical knowledge and experience, therefore I am currently enrolled on post-graduate implant course which will allow me to sit the Royal College of Surgeons, Edinburgh Diploma in Implant Dentistry in a near future.
Outside of dentistry I enjoy spending time practicing yoga, skiing in winter and making the most of Devon alongside my 2 boys and my husband.
Lauren Hellier
GDC Registration : 224097 – Role : Dental Hygienist
My name is Lauren, I have recently joined Dental 397. I am very much enjoying getting to know the practice’s lovely patients.
I qualified as a Dental Hygienist in 2014 from Cardiff University and before this I was a Dental Nurse. This has allowed me the privilege of being both a care provider and a primary clinician to patients.
I believe this helps in my daily interaction to bring empathy to dental hygiene treatments.
I recently got married and I’m settling into my new life.
In my spare time I love cooking, keeping fit and traveling around the world.
