Vanessa studied dental nursing and acquired a NBDN diploma June 2015 in London and have been GDC registered since. Throughout these years, she has completed courses for different clinical procedures such as impression taking and implant placement. Vanessa also completed short Reception and Practice Management courses developing an interest in the administrative side of dentistry.

She started a Practice Management Apprenticeship in July 2024 and keeps her CPD yearly requirements up to date. Started as a trainee dental nurse in Feb 2014 at a practice in North London, moved to Central London in November 2014 and qualified in June 2015.

Vanessa worked as a full-time dental nurse until September 2018 when she decided to move to more administrative roles from reception. Now she is our Practice Manager, where she’s doing a fantastic job! Vanessa is convinced that dentistry is about ‘keeping not just our teeth healthy but our body as a whole. By having healthy teeth and mouth we give ourselves a healthy heart, mind, digestive system, jaw function, less risk of diseases like diabetes, better pregnancy… the benefits list goes on! Let’s spread the message!’

She is a firm believer that at 25 Devonshire Place we are a group of caring individuals that think of others, their needs, go the extra mile and that also communicates effectively makes the perfect team. She thrives organising the practice’s logistics and behind-the-scenes events/requirements even though these can be challenging at times she enjoys overcoming them! And enjoys working with the team!

‘Each one of us adds a special touch to the practice and I am grateful that my first steps as practice manager are with them. I love guiding and supporting patients throughout their dental journey, dentistry has so many procedures and terms that it can sometimes be overwhelming for them.’

Vanessa is a passionate cyclist, and likes playing video games, watching series, all of which she shares with her dearest husband. She also loves travelling and going out and about, even just for a walk in the park near her house!
