About me

Catherine qualified from Birmingham University in 1993 and was accredited as a specialist in 1999. She works in both hospital as a consultant oral surgeon and specialist oral surgery practice. Catherine sees patients referred by dentists and GPs across Hampshire, Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire and Berkshire. She also sees self referrals, where patients wish to refer themselves for an oral surgery procedure.

Catherine has previously worked for the Oxford Dental Deanery (Health Education England) as the Regional Advisor and Training Programme Director for the Dental Foundation training programme. She completed a 4 year tenure as an examiner for the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh.
As an Oral Surgeon, Catherine often completes complicated extractions and procedures. In many cases, she is brought on board to fix problems and bring normality back to the lives of her patients. Her work often relieves the pain and stress of a problematic tooth through extraction and any follow-up surgery.

Because many patients feel nervous at the prospect of surgery, Catherine takes extra steps to make sure all her patients are at ease and comfortable about their treatment, talking them through the procedures and settling any concerns. She can also provide sedation for nervous patients.

She works closely with many orthodontic specialists, where surgery is required before braces are placed. Typically this will involve exposure or removal of buried teeth, under either local anaesthetic, sedation, or general anaesthetic.

Catherine works alongside Bupa-recognised Consultant anaesthetist Dr Angus McKnight.
