The people
Meet the
Ashcroft Team
Sixteen people across two clinics. What is unusual about this list is not the qualifications — it is that no clinician has left since the practice opened in 2009. The dentist who places your crown will still be here to look at it in ten years.
The Dentists
Six dentists, qualified an average of nineteen years, four with specialist registration.

Dr Marta Lewandowska
General & Cosmetic Dentist
Dr Simi Adeyemi

Dr Frances Aldridge
Specialist Orthodontist
Who does what
Ashcroft keeps implants, endodontics and orthodontics in-house because those are the three things practices normally refer out. Here is who covers what, and where.

Implants
Dr Priya Raghavan

Cosmetic
