The best thing about my job is…

The patients and helping them to achieve the best smile possible and seeing their confidence grow is great.

If I wasn’t an orthodontist…

I would be an international rower, or a gardener or a chocolatier. Or maybe even have a vineyard and winery…

Professional Profile…

Following graduation as a dentist in 1991 Philippa gained a wide range of experience in all fields of dentistry before spending seven years specialising in the care of nervous children and adults. In 2002, following three years of full-time training at the Eastman Dental Institute, she qualified as a specialist orthodontist. During this time she also carried out an MSc research project for which she received a national award.

Since qualifying Philippa has worked in specialist orthodontic practices, both in London and Newbury. She joined the team in Fleet in the summer of 2011 and became the owner early in 2015. She offers treatment in a full range of braces and enjoys helping her patients achieve their ideal smile in a relaxed environment.

On a personal note, Philippa lives locally with her husband and children.

The best thing about my job is…

That I truly enjoy my work. I am always happy looking at and talking about teeth! I have specialised in Orthodontics now for 14 years and feel so lucky that I work in a speciality that provides the opportunity to get to know my patients over the period of their orthodontic treatment. It is also nice that my patients want their treatment and therefore appreciate and enjoy the transformation of their smiles. My aim and hope is that my patients can trust and relax throughout their treatment. This is also the philosophy at Acorn Orthodontics so as a team we are all striving to deliver a realistic and sensible approach to treatment in a friendly and relaxed environment.

If I wasn’t an orthodontist…

I would love to spend more time horse riding which is my passion in my spare time.
