Company profile
Erik Lijesen, Principle Dentist says:
"We may not be the biggest dental practice, but that means we work harder to keep you happy. Our dentists are totally committed to providing you with the best dental care and at a reasonable cost, because we know we can keep you smiling and in excellent dental health.
Both myself and Bhavini Patel are recognised by Denplan in their quality accreditation programme which is an endorsement of the high standard of care we offer at Welling Corner Dental Practice. I am also a full member of the British Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry."
Erik is the principal dentist at the Practice having trained at Tandarts, Amsterdam and qualified in 1987.
He is passionate about dentistry which is why he has continued with further extensive training throughout his career in both dental implants and cosmetic dental treatments. He has been trained by some of the best practitioners both here and from the US, restored over 500 Implants and has a portfolio of case studies which he will be pleased to share with you. He is also a member of the British Academy of Dentistry and is accredited as a recognised provider of Denplan Dental Care.
Erik is a family man and when time permits he enjoys pursuing his other passion – skiing, with his family.
Bhavini joined the Practice in 2009 having completed her training and qualified in London in 2004.
In the last seven years Bhavini has also continued her training particularly in cosmetic dental care as she understands the importance of staying ahead in this ever changing and developing area of dental treatments. Her focus is to excel in the delivery of dental care to all her clients and provide excellent customer care which is synonymous with the ethos of Welling Corner Dental Practice. Bhavini is a recognised provider of Denplan Dental Care.
Bhavini enjoys time out relaxing with friends and yoga helps her to stay fit and healthy.
Tracey is an excellent Hygienist working closely with the Team to provide a high level of patient care. Tracey will help you regain your confidence if bad breath is an issue, by keeping your teeth plaque free and reduce the opportuity for gum disease to get established. A regular visit to our Hygienist will also significantly reduce the risk of tooth loss and other health related problems and nobody understands better than Tracey the fresh breath confidence that you will feel from good oral hygiene. Tracey will work with you to overcome any hygiene issues and help you build good dental foundations for the future.
Other than in the Practice, you may well find her standing on the side-lines at a local football match cheering her young son on!
Michel is our highly experienced Implantologist who has been with us many years and successfully placed over 3000 Implants during his career. Placing Dental Implants is a very skilled procedure and requires finite precision and expertise and we are very pleased to have him as part of our Team.
Michel supports Operation Smile and donates a portion of his fee from each Dental Implant to his chosen charity, to help improve the quality of life for young people in some of the poorest areas of the world, where surgery is not readily available.
