Chris doesn't like drilling teeth any more than his patients like having them drilled. This is why one of his main principles is to focus on minimally invasive and preventative dentistry. He also tries to avoid amalgam fillings - he doesn't like their appearance, the fact they can cause teeth to crack and certainly doesn't like the associated health risks. Chris' philosophy in life is to do everything to the very best of his abilities… he reflects this in his role as a dentist.
Claire finds all aspects of dentistry fascinating, she enjoys the more complex surgeries and treatments as much as straightforward general dentistry and as such, is looking forward to learning about dental implants in order to assist Greg with this procedure at Larkhall and Welshmill Dental practice where she is also part of the team. Out of dental scrubs, Clare is proud mum to 2 young men and is involved in a local RFC.
