Meet The Team

Hello, I’m Graeme Dentith, and I’d like to welcome you to our website at Durham City Smiles.

Here in the ‘Team’ section, you will get to know a little about us, and hopefully a few initial questions will be answered, and you’ll feel comfortable enough to contact us further.

Although we’ve tried to keep the tone of this website light and casual, please be assured, when it comes to what we do with our patients, we take it very seriously indeed, but that doesn’t mean we can’t have fun. Let’s face it, nobody likes coming to the dentist, so we try to make it as easy and friendly as possible. In fact, it has been said that the most disturbing thing about visiting us is my shirts!

As a team, we’ve worked together for many years, and we feel we bring a blend of expertise to the task in hand that is second to none. Our reputation is precious to us and so we are very keen to work closely with patients to see that their aims and desires are met. We consult our patients at every turn, so that they are fully involved in the decision making process. As with so many things, the essence of good dentistry is communication at every level, and this is even more so in the field of Cosmetic Dentistry.

We now have two very friendly faces running our reception, so patients are guaranteed a warm welcome.
