Our story
A few milestones that shaped how we work today.
2009 — Qualified at the University of Birmingham
From the start, the focus was on safe dentistry, clear planning, and helping nervous patients feel in control.
2013 — Opened our first practice in Park Hall, Walsall
A small start that taught us what matters most: time, trust, and straightforward care that people understand.
2015 — Further training and early implant milestones
Training continued with a simple aim: predictable results, careful case selection, and good long-term outcomes.
2020 — Advanced surgical training
A deeper focus on planning, tissue management, and reducing risk — particularly for more complex cases.
2021 — Custom-built clinic in Great Barr
Designed around calm appointments, modern workflows, and the kind of care we'd want for our own family.
2022 — Investing in on-site imaging and planning
On-site imaging supports clearer diagnosis, better planning, and more predictable outcomes.
2025 — Home visits grow into Bedside Dental
Our home-visit work grew into its own sister service. Home visits are now provided by Bedside Dental, bringing fully equipped dental care to people who can't easily get to a practice.
Today — Here for Great Barr and nearby areas
If you're unsure what you need, we'll guide you calmly to the right next step — with clear options before anything is done.

I've been going to this dentist for almost a year now initially it was just to clean my teeth and do regular check ups and I was really happy with how kind everyone was and the quality of the treatments. After a while I wanted to do teeth whitening but didn't know anything about it or the process. I had a consultation with them and they ran through the treatment, cost and everything I needed to know. After a few weeks of using the gels my teeth were considerably whiter and I was receiving compliments from my family and friends on my smile. After a while they suggested I consider veneers for two pegs on the top of my teeth, they also do a monthly instalment and after a few weeks considering it I decided to do it and was very happy with the results. It looks very natural and matches my teeth perfectly and made me a lot more confident with my smile and was getting compliments from a lot of people shortly after getting it done. Would definitely recommend coming here everyone is very welcoming, friendly and professional and I've never had any complaints with any of the treatments

I came to this dentist on the recommendation of a work colleague and some extra research.
I'm a really anxious person who is also neurodiverse, and after 10 years of not seeing a dentist, I had severe buildup on my teeth, inflamed, red gums and cavities. I was embarrassed to smile. I was embarrassed to have conversations with other people because I didn't want them to notice my teeth.
The whole team have been nothing but kind, welcoming, and understanding. They all really, really listened to me and my experience. They explained each step that needed to be taken, in detail, answered all of my questions really well, and ensured I wasn't in pain or anxious.
I was also able to use my own coping mechanisms (fidget rings, worry stones, hand fidgeting), and I wasn't judged. That's how it should be, and thank you for setting an example.
It's quiet and genuinely a really nice, calm atmosphere. And because it's a calm, quiet practice, it doesn't feel like you're on a timer.I didn't feel pressured by anyone for anything regarding treatment, and have been kindly but firmly re-educated on important aspects or oral health.
They will also send you plenty of reminders and confirmations, which has been super helpful for me to manage my time and prioritise myself and my teeth.
A huge thank you to Dr. Rikki, Dr. Anna, and the rest of the team who made me feel like it was possible to get my smile back. My confidence has increased tenfold, and I would do it all again (but hopefully not).
