Meet some of the team

Dr Hooman Sanaty, Principal Dentist

“To me, giving even one of our patients anything other than the very best of dental care and treatment isn’t an option.

As principal dentist at Glow Dental, it’s my aim and ambition to achieve that every single time a patient visits us.

That’s so vital to me, because I’ve seen how members of my own family were let down through sub-standard treatment that was done not for their good, but for others’ gain. That’s something I always keep at the forefront of my mind. And, I hope that’s why Glow Dental’s such a good practice, whether you’re looking for the latest in cosmetic treatments, or just want an excellent ‘day-to-day’ family dental service to keep your teeth and gums in the best shape possible.”

Dr Hooman Sanaty holds the prestigious Primary Fellowship from the Royal College of Surgeons of England. He is also a member of British Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (BACD), the British Dental Association, the General Dental Council and Dental Protection Society.

Dr Phil Walberg, Associate Dentist

"I qualified from the University of Newcastle upon Tyne in 2002 and honed my skills in the Northeast of England. I've completed numerous postgraduate educational courses since covering the most current scientific research available. This in turn enables me to deliver to patients treatments that involve the very latest techniques and materials.

I'm particularly interested in aesthetic and cosmetic dentistry, and minimal intervention dentistry which essentially allows me to gain the best possible smile enhancements in the most conservative methods. The result has seen me accepted as a Full Member of the highly regarded British Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, which I'm extremely proud of."

Hayley Walkley, Practice Manager & Treatment Coordinator

“I think it’s really important that our patients stay in control of their own treatment and they can only do that when they understand something about the various procedures they could have.

So, it’s a big part of my job to explain what’s going to happen, especially when technically complex treatments are involved. That way procedures are de-mystified.

And having been a nurse for 12 years and then a further six as a Treatment Coordinator I’m sure that puts me in a good position when it comes to explaining the finer detail of treatments and putting people at their ease. Really, it’s all about putting the patient first, which is what Glow Dental is all about.”

And it doesn’t matter whether you’re a patient already, or just thinking about becoming one, you can always phone me up, or drop in for an informal chat about any of the treatments we offer and how they might help you.”

Michelle Neal, Head Dental Nurse

Michelle has come to us from Australia and is approaching her 9th year as a Dental Nurse. She has worked in both private practice and hospital environments and has therefore gained a wide range of experience across all fields of dentistry.

"Being so far from home, it's great to work in a warm and welcoming environment and to feel like part of a team striving to achieve the same things. There's that old saying "treat others as you yourself would want to be treated" and as it has always been a personal motto of mine, I am so pleased to work in a Dental Practice where those exact thoughts are a part of the Glow Dental Ethos.

I believe a person's teeth and smile play a major role, not only in self confidence but overall health and I find it so rewarding being able to help transform the smiles of those in need of a boost of self esteem through dental health and also to restore confidence and trust to patients suffering with a phobia of dentistry.

From the moment you walk through the door I will be here to make you feel at ease and as comfortable as possible and I know that when it is time to leave, you will do so with a big content smile on your face and the knowledge that any anxiety related to dental appointments can now be a distant memory."
