Meet the team

Canda qualified from Cardiff University in 1990. Canda has worked in Manor House Dental & Implant Clinic for more than 23 years, carrying out high quality private general dentistry. Canda joined the practice in 1997.

Canda has a very loyal following of patients who appreciate her dentistry skills and upbeat attitude to life in general.

Clare qualified from Cardiff University in 1990 and joined the practice in 2006. Whilst happy carrying out all aspects of general dentistry, she has a passion for facial aesthetics, cosmetic and implant dentistry. She has a caring, but perfectionist approach to her patients and work.

Clare is married with three children and has thrown herself in to life in Cornwall. Amateur dramatics, surfing and an ambition to cycle across America fill her time outside of dentistry.

Richard qualified from Cardiff University in 1985. He then spent five years serving as a Royal Navy Dental Officer, before entering General Practice.

He enjoys all aspects of dentistry and has developed a particular interest in the restoration of worn teeth. Richard is noted for his calm, compassionate demeanour much appreciated by nervous patients. Richard is married and the proud father of teenage triplets – all girls. In his spare moments he enjoys gardening and caring for his bees.

Alison qualified from Manchester University in 1999. She completed further hospital training, and gained further postgraduate qualification to become a Member of the Faculty of Dental Surgeons of England in 2002.

Alison has enjoyed working in private practice for nearly 20 years, and provides all aspects of general dental practice. She particularly enjoys Minimally Interventive dentistry, which helps to conserve as much of your own teeth as possible, and providing holistic care. She also has experience in adult orthodontics and aesthetics.

She endeavours to ensure all her patients are treated in a caring and gentle manner, helping patients to be comfortable and informed throughout.

Away from the practice Alison embraces the Cornish lifestyle, where she is most often found on the beach with her husband, daughter and dog. She also enjoys gig rowing and paddle boarding.

Kate graduated from Glasgow Dental School with Honours in 2000. After 7 years 'cutting her teeth' in Portsmouth she returned to her home town in Dunfermline as a private dentist. She considers cosmetic dentistry, including free-hand composite bonding and veneers to be her favourite aspect of dental treatment but it is the face to face interaction with patients that she finds the most satisfying part of the job. Taking an anxious patient and transforming their smile can transform their life. And getting someone out of pain is rewarding for patient and dentist!

Kate moved from Scotland to Cornwall with her family in 2016 and has been a part of the Manor House team since. She is still discovering new beaches to explore with her two children and dog.
