Expert hands, friendly faces

PhD Paediatric Dentistry · PG Endodontics · PG Implantology

Bijan joined Cheshire Dental Centre in November 2015 as an associate dental surgeon. He graduated as a general dental practitioner and went on to gain a PhD in paediatric dentistry, a postgraduate qualification in endodontics at Chester University, and a postgraduate qualification in implantology at Leipzig University — the field he now specialises in. After four years practising in Dubai, he focused on aesthetic dentistry: smile makeovers and full-mouth restorations including veneers and crowns.

BDS PgDip (Aesth Rest. & Endo)

Danielle joined us in June 2022, after eight years in general practice in Stockport. She gained her BDS from King's College London in 2014, graduating with a special award for her performance in oral medicine. Outside the practice she skis, hikes with her family and walks her dog.

Joselle looks after a wide range of general and cosmetic treatment at Bedford Street, from routine examinations and fillings through to whitening and smile improvements. Patients tend to say how calm and thorough the appointments feel — nothing is rushed, and every option is explained before a decision is made. Joselle is especially good with anyone who finds dental visits difficult.

Charlotte joined the practice in March 2020 and works with us one day a week. She qualified from Bristol University in 2015 with a diploma in dental hygiene, and has since qualified in acupuncture and whitening. She is a keen promoter of oral health, and will talk you through the best ways to look after your gums and teeth.

NVQ Level 3 Dental Nursing

Ellie joined us on an apprenticeship in September 2020 and has since completed her NVQ Level 3 in dental nursing. She works alongside Dr Bijan Barfaraz on implant treatment, and also looks after the practice's social media.

Qualified in CBCT imaging

Chelsy began her apprenticeship with us in May 2021 and has continued to build her knowledge of dentistry since. She enjoys working alongside and supporting the rest of the team. Outside the practice, she's busy expanding her culinary skills.

Olivia began her apprenticeship with us in August 2023 and has quickly become an integral part of the team. She works alongside Dr Danielle Smyth on cosmetic treatments, and is enjoying learning new skills as she trains. She is also the practice's digital lead.

Ebony is one of the friendly faces you'll meet chairside, working alongside the dentists through every appointment and keeping each surgery ready and running smoothly. Much of the job is quietly making sure patients are comfortable — a word of reassurance at the right moment makes a real difference, particularly for anyone who feels anxious about treatment. Outside the practice, Ebony is happiest with family and friends.

Helen's career began in dental nursing in Stoke-on-Trent, and she has spent a lifetime in the profession since. She has been our practice manager since September 2023, and says the daily challenges of the role are made rewarding by the team around her.

Danielle joined us in December 2021, and is often the first person you'll speak to. She enjoys building a rapport with patients and working alongside a great team. Outside work she spends her time with family, and as near to the coast as she can get.
