Meet the team

Hi, I’m Lynsey. I have worked at Dunelm Orthodontics for 16 years and I still enjoy seeing the transformation in our patients at the end of their treatment.

In my spare time I like to go out with my son, my partner and his children.

I have been a dental nurse for 21 years of which the past 12 have been at Dunelm Orthodontics.

I really enjoy my job as the team we have here are amazing it's like a little family rather than just work colleagues and you cannot say that about a lot of places!

My favourite part of this job is seeing all the lovely smiles when all the treatment is complete.

Hi my name is Sherri. I've been a qualified dental nurse for many years now and have picked up a good few extra qualifications along the way.

In my spare time I love being outdoors. Either walking, mountain biking, clay pigeon shooting or camping but especially training my working cocker spaniel Luna. I love a good practice joke too.

I am one of the dental nurses at Dunelm Orthodontics and have been a registered dental nurse since 2012.

I appreciate all aspects of my role. However, working alongside the Orthodontist in clinic is what I enjoy the most.

The key focus for myself and the practice is patient care.

I love to see the patient journey and how happy patients are at the end of their treatment.

Outside of work I adore travelling and visiting family. I also like to eat out at my favourite restaurants.

My name is Emily. I started Dental Nursing in 2016 and gained my qualification in 2019. I joined Dunelm in January this year; having come from a general dental background. I love to be part of a patient journey and I love to work with the general public.

In my spare time I like to visit new places, go shopping and walk my dog.

I started my life in dentistry back in 1999 as a trainee Dental Nurse, in a private dental practice, in the centre of Durham City. In my 21 years in dentistry I have spent 15 years in general dentistry and 6 years in Orthodontics.

After completing me NEBDN certificate in Dental Nursing. I progressed on over the years to gain as much knowledge as I could to help be journey through my dental career. I went on to complete a Diploma in Dental Practice Management, NEBDN in Orthodontic Nursing, impression taking course in 2017 allowing me to have my own records clinics. I have now completed my training at University of Central Lancashire to achieve a Diploma in Orthodontic Therapy RCS (Edinburgh). I am currently waiting for a date to sit my final exams.

I love being an Orthodontic Therapist. It is an amazing job as I get to see my patients from the beginning of treatment, through to the end. It's a journey I love to take with all of my patients.

I love being the person who gets to see the patients amazing smiles at the end of treatment.

It is so rewarding to know you have been a part of changing someone's smile and confidence.

I started my career at a dental practice in Birtley and I qualified as a dental nurse in 2012 after I completed my training at Newcastle College. I then decided I wanted to move into orthodontics and I joined Dunelm in July 2013.

As a dental nurse I underwent additional training which allowed me to take radiographs and impressions.

In late 2018, I was offered the opportunity to train as an Orthodontic Therapist, and after a successful interview at UCLAN School of Medicine & Dentistry, I began my course in the Summer of 2019.

The best part of working in orthodontics is seeing patients end results and how it changes them into confident people.

My name is Emmaline I am an Orthodontic Dental Nurse for Dunelm Specialist Orthodontic Centre.

I joined the Dunelm family in 2019 after a long career of 28 years in general dentistry and clinical management. I decided to specialise in orthodontics, as I love making a difference to people’s lives, giving them the confidence to smile and being part of the patient’s treatment journey.

I gained my national certificate in dental nursing back in 1994. Over the years I have gained many dental and non-dental qualifications, including dental radiography, dental health education, impression taking and an advanced qualification in dental decontamination. I am also a qualified beauty therapist.

It's great being part of the Dunelm family. I’m loving orthodontic dentistry, I particularly enjoy dental health education and our records clinics, where I take impressions and carry out photography for our patients, as part of their orthodontic treatment.

In my spare time I love spending time with my family, I enjoy gardening, genealogy, as well as walking and camping around the country with my family and whippet Indy.

My name is Jackie.

I have been a dental nurse for over 20 years, qualifying in 2000.

After working many years in NHS and Private general dentistry, I was lucky enough to join the Dunelm team in 2019.

I have thoroughly enjoyed specializing in orthodontics, which I have always wanted to do.

It is extremely satisfying to see our patient’s complete treatment and leave with a new found confidence and smile proudly.

As well as assisting the clinician in surgery, I also work in our busy decontamination room to prepare sterilized instruments for all of our patients.

I also give our patients oral health advice and help them to make a difference to their dental regime.

Outside work, I am kept busy with my 8-year-old son. As a family we look forward to weekends and spending time together, which includes walking and eating out.
