A little bit about us in Beccles...

We are a well-established and respected Dental Practice which provides a caring valued service for all our patients.



Our practice has grown through patient recommendation and the majority of our new patients come to us because our care has been recommended to them by friends and family.



We refer to ourselves as ‘’Beccles hidden gem’’ as we are tucked away in a fully converted bungalow at the end of Kilbrack gardens. We are located just off a local bus route and a short walk away from Beccles railway station. There is parking available near to the Practice and we are close to the towns car parks. If you are intending to utilise the free parking on Kilbrack please be aware it can only be accessed from Blyburgate and NOT Grove Road as this part of Kilbrack is a Private Road.



Our Practice is fully modernised with digital software and X rays and we boast a generously large converted entrance to allow for disabled access and have a hearing loop available upon request.



We offer Fully Private, Denplan and NHS services. Whether you are looking for an Emergency Appointment, General Check-up, Hygienist Cleaning, White Fillings, Zoom Whitening or Dental Implants we can help you and have been doing so for over 40 years! We can also offer you the option to spread the cost of your dental treatment with interest-free finance.



We are accepting new patients onto our Private Service List.

Our team of dedicated staff (and you can read all about us below) also speak  Hungarian, Romanian and Persian (Farsi). Our team is very proud to have been shortlisted in several prestigious dental awards and are really proud of the popularity of our Beccles Implant Clinic.

Meet Our Team

Samantha

Joint Practice Manager

I started working in a dental surgery over 30 years ago leaving in 2003 to start a new career with Norfolk Constabulary.

 

In October 2021 my career went full circle when I left the constabulary and joined the Dental Design Studio, Beccles as the Assistant Practice Manager for the three practices at Kilbrack, Station Road and Blyburgate.

 

My job is varied and keeps me very busy but in my spare time I enjoy walking in the local countryside with my husband.

Rachel

I began my Dental nursing career in 1991 in Chelmsford then moved to Dereham where I started working for the armed forces, then moving to Germany still working for the forces as a civilian Dental nurse.

 

I have worked in a Dental practice in Lowestoft since 2005 joining Dental Design Studio in 2012. I was promoted to clinical administrator and then received another promotion in December 2022 to Assistant Practice Manager.

 

My Job is often challenging but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

 

In my spare time I love spending time with my family.

I completed my undergraduate dental training in Szeged, Hungary in 2006. I studied at the University of Dental Medicine for a further 4 years after graduation. I became a specialist in treating gum disease after a 3-year postgraduate training at the Department of oral medicine and periodontology.

I moved to the UK in 2010 and became an NHS dentist, and have been practicing at the Dental Design Studio since 2013. I treat many patients as a general dentist and have a great advantage of using my specialist skills in treating gum disease in the general dental practices.I enjoy all aspects of dentistry especially gum disease treatments and cosmetic dental procedures such as tooth whitening.

I live in Beccles with my family and I am very happy to be a member of the local community here in the beautiful Waveney Valley.

Dr. Paul

Special Interest in Implantology and Oral Surgery

paul niland
I qualified in June 2000 at the University of Stellenbosch in South Africa and, after completing a years’ service in South Africa community hospital, I relocated to the UK in 2001. 

I have a particular interest in IV sedation, oral surgery and implantology and have gained vast experience in all of these fields over the years. I have advanced my knowledge and skills by obtaining a degree in implantology at the prestigious Lille University in France in 2009 and by completing numerous hours in post-graduate courses to stay abreast with the latest techniques.

My passion and skill in implant dentistry has enabled me to literally change the lives of many patients by rebuilding their whole smile with dental implants. These beautiful life-changing smiles can only be achieved by having an extensive knowledge of dental implants, crowns, bridges and smile makeovers.

I am a member of SAAD (Society for the Advancement of Anaesthesia in Dentistry), ADI (Association of Dental Implantology), EAO (European Association for Osseointegration), AO (American Academy of Osseointegration), BDA (British Dental Association) and GDC (General Dental Council).
