WIMBLEDON DENTAL - Key Persons

Originally qualified in Law and Politics in France, Stephanie got the bug of dentistry when she first joined forces with her husband as a practice manager in 1997. Stephanie qualified as a dental hygienist/therapist in 2007 having previously qualified as a dental nurse. She holds a Sedation Dental Nursing qualification and has followed Implant Nursing training with Astra Tech and Biohorizons. Her motto is always ‘prevention is better than cure' and she looks primarily at the cause of why a patient presents with disease, be it decay or bad gums. She insists on thorough oral hygiene instructions and diet advice with all her patients. As a hygienist, she is particularly interested in the treatment of periodontal (gum) disease as well as the hygiene preparation and maintenance work attached with implant treatment. As a therapist, she has a special interest in cosmetic white fillings and has continued training with the London Deanery and Advanced Dental Seminars. Also a mother of three, Stephanie knows first hand what children are like and how scary it can be for them to go to the dentist (even if it is their Mummy… or maybe especially when it is their Mum!) She believes deeply in an anxiety management method known as behavioural shaping, which has proven highly effective in multiple medical disciplines in children. This method relies on a progressive gentle step-by-step approach, which allows the child patient to feel relaxed and in control, allowing full trust between him/her and Stephanie. This method has repeatedly guaranteed her great cooperation from even her younger patients. As the Practice Manager, Stephanie ensures Wimbledon Dental Spa is fully in line with the current regulations of our governing bodies the Care Quality Commission and the General Dental Council.

She loves walking and playing golf and most of all, loyal to her French roots, is a keen cook and wine taster.
