I graduated from the University of Leeds in 2020, and from that moment, I knew I’d never leave Yorkshire. The rich culture, friendly communities, and stunning countryside have become an integral part of my life, inspiring me both personally and professionally.

Over the past few years, my passion for dentistry has evolved significantly, particularly in the fields of aesthetic and restorative dentistry. I pursued advanced training and education in these areas, employing the latest techniques and technologies. This commitment enables me to offer my patients a unique blend of functional and aesthetic solutions that cater to their individual needs.

In my practise, I focus on a variety of treatments designed to enhance the natural beauty of smiles and restore the health of damaged teeth. This can range from teeth whitening and veneers to intricate dental restorations. What drives me is the ability to transform not only the physical aspects of a patient’s dental health but also their overall confidence and self-esteem. By fostering strong relationships with my patients, I aim to create a welcoming space where they feel heard, valued, and empowered to take charge of their dental health.  I believe that a beautiful smile can change lives, and it’s incredibly rewarding to witness the positive impact my work has on my patients’ lives.

Beyond my professional endeavours, I prioritise staying active and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. I enjoy running, swimming, cycling and taking leisurely walks with my dog, who is my constant companion. These activities not only keep me fit but also allow me to clear my mind and recharge. I firmly believe that achieving a healthy balance between work and personal life is essential for overall well-being. This philosophy is reflected in the care I provide to my patients.

Catherine’s passion for dentistry began at a young age, and she pursued her dream by obtaining a Diploma in Dental Hygiene from Kings College, London in 2005. She is a strong advocate for preventative dentistry, believing that a great smile starts with the right education and long-term habits. Her area of expertise lies in periodontology, and she finds great fulfilment in treating and stabilising gum disease through a combination of treatment and education.

Catherine is highly regarded by our patients here at Smile on the Square. They consistently praise her work, emphasising her thoroughness and gentle approach. With a natural ability to put even the most anxious individuals at ease, she takes the time to ensure every visit is a relaxed, positive, and stress-free experience. Her dedication to providing excellent dental care has made her a favourite among our patients. Catherine is also deeply committed to continuous professional development, regularly updating her clinical skills and knowledge to ensure our patients always receive the highest standard of modern care.

Beyond here professional commitments, Catherine’s home life is lively and fulfilling thanks to her two wonderful daughters and her two dogs. Catherine enjoys engaging in activities such as dog walking, travelling, gardening and spending quality time with friends and family.

Kayleigh is an exceptional dental nurse who plays a vital role in leading our clinical team. As our Lead Nurse and Infection Control Lead, she combines outstanding patient care with a deep, specialised knowledge of her profession, ensuring the clinical side of the practice runs to the highest possible standard.

While managing her day-to-day nursing duties, Kayleigh works hand-in-hand with Linsey to oversee the practice’s overall management, taking full responsibility for all clinical compliance. She is highly educated in clinical safety, holding advanced qualifications in infection control, alongside being our certified First Aider and Fire Marshall.

Outside of the clinic, Kayleigh leads a wonderful and fulfilling family life. She is a happily married woman, a devoted mother to her two children, and has recently added two little Chihuahuas to the mix to keep life extra lively!

As the first point of contact at Smile on the Square, Linsey manages our reception desk and welcomes our patients into the practice. Over her 9 years with us, her deep understanding of dentistry and denture making has allowed her to take on vital management responsibilities behind the scenes.

Linsey effectively balances her front-of-house patient care with a highly organised approach to the practice’s management, backed by qualifications in bookkeeping, admin, and infection control. She acts as our designated Data Protection, Information Governance, and COSHH Lead, meticulously handling the audits, risk assessments, and policy writing required to keep the practice fully aligned with CQC regulations. Linsey also looks after the practice accounts, handles the day-to-day bookkeeping, and manages the payroll for our self-employed staff. Linsey has been a loyal and remarkable asset to the practice.

With her natural compassion, empathy, and sincerity, Linsey always has a smile ready for our patients and works hard to ensure everyone receives the treatment and care they deserve.

Away from the desk, Linsey leads a wonderfully busy home life. She is a proud mother to three beautiful girls—and while two are now adults, they still manage to keep her firmly on her toes!
