CHESTER COSMETIC DENTAL CENTRE - Key Persons
Hi, I'm Denise Dennan. I grew up in Chester and attended Ellesmere Port grammar school for girls. I qualified as a dental hygienist at Liverpool dental school in 1980 and have worked as a dental hygienist continuously ever since. In 1991, I gained a qualification from the Royal Society of Health and the University of Nottingham in oral health education. I have five children and four grandchildren, all living very close. I enjoy spending much of my free time with them all.
I have been at Chester Cosmetic & Dental Care since 2008 and I love being part of such a fantastic team who are all committed to providing a positive patient experience. We have wonderful patients, many have become like friends and I look forward to meeting many more
