Hi I’m Sarah Buckley and it’s my privilege to look after the children who attend the practice.

My dental background centers around children and special needs dentistry. I spent many years in Specialist London teaching hospitals before moving on to working within the community dental service.

I really enjoy working with children. It’s a joy to see them grow and become young adults who are dentally healthy and confident in the dental environment.

I studied dentistry at the University of Bristol, gaining distinction grades in Restorative Dentistry and Child Dental Health. I have also recently completed the MFDS post-graduate qualification to further my knowledge and skills.

I am passionate about delivering quality dental treatment, in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, placing the patient at the centre of all clinical decisions. I involve each patient in their own treatment, enabling them to feel comfortable throughout and empowering them to maintain their desired result. As an Invisalign and SmileFast provider, my main area of interest is restorative and cosmetic dentistry, where I aim to provide every one of my patients with the perfect long lasting and functional smile they deserve. I am currently involved with Wesleyan, The Next Step, writing and speaking at events aimed to help and develop young dentists.

I am a keen sportsman, enjoying participating and watching rugby, triathlon, skiing, golf, and love spending quality time with friends and family. I’m an avid traveller and thoroughly enjoy sampling different cultures and cuisines.

Hello, I am Ildikó, and I am a trainee dental nurse at The Buckley Practice.

I have a certain eye for detail and a very caring nature, so I thought that both combined could make me a very good dental nurse. I am thoroughly enjoying my role as a trainee dental nurse, as I have lots of support around me and the team are always ready to answer my questions. I am particularly enjoying learning how to assist our Orthodontist, Dan Burford. I find orthodontic treatment fascinating, as it is so intricate and the before and after photos are mind blowing!

Everyday is different, and I am lucky enough to get to meet and care for our patients and make a difference to their days. I pride myself on providing each patient with the best possible care and the biggest smile (even if it is behind my mask). In my spare time, I love spending time with my boyfriend and trying new cuisines.

I am Sally and I joined The Buckley Practice in 2020. I have been a dental nurse for over 40 years and thoroughly enjoy the caring aspect of the job and seeing patients leave the practice smiling. It is a fabulous place to work, as we work very much as a team and are always ready to help one another.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, especially my two grandchildren Louie and Rose.

I started here at The Buckley Practice in 2008. I qualified as a dental nurse at Guys hospital in 2010 and thoroughly enjoy treating patients alongside the dentist.

In 2015 I became practice manager and I look after the day to day running of the practice. Despite being based in the practice office, you will often see me around, ensuring that you, the patients, are happy and that the team are working smoothly and efficiently.

In my own time, I enjoy spending time with my family and friends and keep fit at Crossfit!

Hello, I am Julia and have been at The Buckley Practice since 2007.

I am committed to making my patients feel comfortable under my care and I regularly attend courses and study groups. I am also a member of The British Society of Dental Hygiene and Therapy. We use the most up to date and innovative materials and techniques out there, meaning only the best for our patients.

In my spare time I spend time with family and enjoy going for long walks with the girls (with a couple of pit stops along the way).

Hi there, I’m Faye I am a receptionist at The Buckley Practice.

I joined the practice in 2017, I love being a part of the team and enjoy meeting and greeting our wonderful patients.

The practice has a calm and professional atmosphere and the team work extremely hard to ensure every single patient is cared for to a very high standard. I will be here along with my colleagues to help make your experiences at the practice as efficient, friendly, and personalized as possible.

In my spare time, I love spending it with my family and friends.

Hi I’m Sarah, receptionist. I started attending Buckley’s as a patient in 2001 and then in 2007 became part of the team.

Over the years I have had the pleasure of getting to know many of our patients; and when they visit, they now feel like friends. I try to help make their patient journey as smooth as possible, especially for those who are nervous, as we are the first people to greet patients to our practice.

My main skills are talking and chatting as many of the patients know, and outside work enjoy arts & crafts and reading a good book.
