Julie Ridley
I qualified in 1993 from Dundee University. Alongside my conventional dentistry, I love doing cosmetic treatments and tooth straightening - I never tire of seeing the huge difference a straighter whiter smile can make to someone! I completed a year's course in restorative dentistry at the Eastman Dental Hospital in London and in 2009 I qualified as an Invisalign 'invisible braces' practitioner. I also straighten teeth with the 6 Month Smile System. One of the most rewarding parts of my job is getting to know my patients and I enjoy helping those who are anxious to become relaxed and confident about their treatment. In 2001 I began using hypnotherapy techniques which have been very successful.
