Dr Alex Portela is a dentist enthusiastic about
her ongoing professional training. She loves anything that she
feels can help our patients and is cultivating special interests
in cosmetic dentistry and endodontics (root treating failing
teeth). Not a tall person she is well suited for the low beamed
surgery in which she works. Ironicaly she has a dog that is
almost as tall as she is.

Senior Dental Nurse |
| |
 |
Annette Trott is our longest serving dental nurse and
has been working with Dr Boulcott for many years. A very able
person, Annette has undergone specialist training in the fields
of dental X Rays and dental sedation. A happy, caring person,
Annette takes great pride in her abilities to relax all our
patients ensuring that their visit is as pleasant as possible.
Annette is a fountain of knowledge and seems able to 'mother'
anyone in need. A superb asset to this Practice and a friend
to all our patients.
With all our recent nurse additions we now refer to
her as 'matron' as her job is to ensure all surgeries are overseen
for cleanliness, cross infection control, training and competence
within all aspects of dental care that we at Herbrandston are
uniquely suited to provide.

She is a wonderful addition to our practice and tends to work with
Mark or on reception. |
Becca has also recently joined us as a trainee nurse
and aspires to passing her dental nursing exams in due course. A
bubbly, sweet natured girl becca is someone who engenders trust
in all our patients. She is a great asset who loves her new
puppy: a little Jack Russel. She is either to be found working with
Alex or on reception. |

Junior Qualified Nurse |
| |
 |
Cheryl is our most recent recruit having qualified
and registered with the General Dental Council this year. No longer
under training and feeling confident she arrived in this practice
only to find that our practices and quality of care are so different
from her previous experiences she feels as though she is starting
all over again!
A very able dental nurse she is quickly coming
to terms with her new working environment and has become one of
the team being the next most senior nurse after Annette. A lovely
girl, she is very easy to tease and 'wind up' - especially by
members of staff who should know better - Petra!
Cheryl will most often be found in surgery 2 working
with Somini.

Dental Technician |
| |
 |
Mike Hargreaves is our dental technician - it
is Mike who crafts our denture work making each piece as lifelike,
comfortable and as functional as possible. Few dental surgeries
in the UK now directly employ a technician - they usually work
in laboratories outside a practice. Here at Herbrandston we work
closely with our technician, in surgery if needed, to ensure the
quality of the final product. Any subtle changes to ensure individual
character to a prosthesis such as a denture can be carried out
chair side with the patient able to comment and approve. Our dentures
are the very best: being made of the best materials and the most
natural looking teeth. Everything to ensure realism and accuracy
of aesthetics.

In Memory |
| |
 |
Karen Boulcott (BA Hons), the late wife of
Dr Mark Boulcott, sadly died in road traffic accident on 07
Oct 06. She was killed by a drunken driver on the A40,
Pembs, and is missed by both patients and staff alike.
Karen was a lovely lady who worked tirelessly to help her
husband start up the business of Herbrandston Dental Health
Practice in 2004. Karen was our Practice Supervisor and we
miss her.
We leave this picture of her here as a tribute
to the love we all had for her. You will still hear her voice
on our answer machine and in that capacity she still works
with us. She is always in our thoughts. God Bless.
