When you contact us for the first time you are most likely to reach receptionist Joy Lewis. Joy became involved with dentistry in the early 1980′s. She had an extreme interest in improving services dental receptionists could offer.
She founded the Somerset Dental Support Group which encouraged liaison between dental team members with a view to developing a greater level of patient care.
Joy has studied reception and practice management skills in England and the United States of America and was a finalist in the 2001 National Awards. She has taught dental reception skills in a College of Further Education. After Joy has welcomed you and helped you complete any necessary paperwork she will ask our dental nurse to escort you to the treatment room.
Born and raised on the Isle of Wight, I moved to the west country in 2014 to train at Peninsula Dental school. Whilst at Peninsula, I studied a 3 year Batchelor of Science course, in Dental Therapy and Hygiene and in June 2017 I qualified as a Dental Hygiene Therapist with Merit.
Once qualified I moved to work in a private dental practice based in the centre of Bath for two years, 6 months of which involved working closely with a Periodontal Specialist.
Alongside Dentistry, I also have a keen interest in Facial Aesthetics. Now having moved back to the Island with my Husband, I’m looking forward to meeting new patients and contributing to the excellent dental care at Avenue Road Dental Practice.
Sarah graduated as a dental hygienist from Cardiff Dental School in 1991. She returned to the Island after qualifying and has worked as a team member in several practices.

My name is Louise. I recently joined the practice to pursue a career in dental nursing.
I joined because I like to help people and wanted a new challenge!
My hobbies include traveling, socialising with friends/family, and a big foodie!
Harry is the designer and administrator of the Avenue Road Dental Practice website.
Philip Lewis: “Then we turn to the subject of Harry! Its probably because I’m old enough to remember Calamity Jane that I felt the need to engage someone to help me with everything technical. Welcome to Harry; our new computer whiz-kid who will be converting the practice website into a thing of beauty! As well as the above, he is doing the websites Search Engine Optimization and he will be improving our use of Social Networks and more.”
