I am a dentist who practices at Elvet Dental Practice, Durham City. I accept both NHS and private patients and to register contact the practice here.
I graduated from Newcastle University in 2007 and worked in two fully private cosmetic/family dental practices in Buckinghamshire and Oxford City. I was privileged to work alongside some experienced and highly skilled dentists who acted as mentors. During this time I sat the practical & written entrance exams to become a member of the Joint Dental Faculties of the Royal College of Surgeons.
In 2014 I was awarded a postgraduate diploma with the University of Bristol. The diploma took three years to complete and it led me to study in more depth a wide range of topics within dentistry including the endodontics, prosthodontics, law & ethics.
I now work at Elvet Dental Practice, live in Durham City and love it. I enjoy providing cosmetic treatments and I have four years experience of private practice and I believe the best cosmetic treatments keep your teeth healthy, endure and impress. I particularly enjoy working with composite and provide composite cosmetic bonding and composite veneers. I enjoy trying to make dental treatments as pain-free as possible and try to make the whole 'dental experience' as easy as possible.
I enjoy learning and I am an advocate for providing care supported by research. I am interested in current affairs, science, evidence-based health and the NHS. I sit as a member of the Durham & Darlington Local Dental Committee.
Above all, I am a husband and a father to four young children. I enjoy surfing, cycling to work & volunteering for my church.

Dental Surgeon

Terri is a very experienced dentist and works alongside Mr Kinghorn. Terri is accepting both NHS and private patients and to register contact the practice here.
Terri Qualified in 2001 from Newcastle University with honours. She received a distinction when examined in Child Dental Health and Restorative Dentistry and also received a merit in oral surgery.
She completed her vocational training in South Shields before spending the next few years in hospital in the Oral Maxillo-facial Surgery department, this means Terri is very experienced in the treatment a variety of medical and dental problems.
These skills were further refined as Terri provided treatment in the community Dental Service where general dentists refer patients who might present with particular needs e.g. young children, special needs, medically compromised or even just particularly anxious!
Terri's ethos in practice is one similar to Aaron's: minimally invasive cosmetic treatments and teeth whitening. Terri can provide a wide range general restorative dentistry and within the practice cosmetic orthodontics can be provided such as invisalign.
Terri enjoys exercising, running and has three children (4 if you count Terri's husband). She is actively involved in the community as chair of governor at a nursery and vice chair at a local school.
