Within dentistry, I feel that restorative treatments such as crown, veneers and bridgework have the most pleasing results for the patient and the dental team. These treatments quickly show a positive before and after effect which makes me feel happy because I know that I have helped to make a difference.
Sarah Davies Dental Nurse RDN

“My favourite dental treatment I love to do is cosmetic crown preparations. This is where we take away a small amount of tooth from all the surfaces and send an impression to a laboratory to make the crowns. I really enjoy doing this because you’re not just changing someone’s appearance but your changing their life by improving their confidence.” Cherie Parker Dental Nurse RDN

Carla VirginOne of the things that I find most rewarding is when a nervous patient first plucks up the courage to walk into reception and we are able to encourage and support them to be able to take that first step in walking through the dentist's door.

It is a great feeling to see a patient with new found confidence in themselves especially when it is something they have felt self conscious about for years and to be able to have played a small yet significant part in helping them.

Out of work I love spending time with family and looking after our mini zoo, what with Sugar-gliders, house rabbit, rats, frogs and more. They keep my husband and I very busy. Carla Virgin Dental Nurse RDN

Shelby PinkI really enjoy working at Linden. Being part of the reception team and also having the opportunity to use my nursing skills, which provides my working day with variety. I enjoy meeting and greeting the patients which help to make the day fun. It's a very rewarding job.

On a personal level, I love music (a wide variety) and my passion is horse riding. Shelby Pink Dental Nurse RDN

Jen MillerI really enjoy orthodontics [ tooth straightening ] and seeing the final result. It makes my job worthwhile to see someone so pleased with having lovely straight teeth at the end of their treatment. I enjoy spending time with my family, which includes watching my daughter do her dancing and my son play football. Jen Miller Dental Nurse RDN

Cheryl FlurryThe reason I enjoy coming to work everyday is meeting our patients. I love cosmetic treatments as it involves quick results for the dental team and the patients. The best thing is being a part of helping people overcome there fears as we help restore their faith in dentistry. Cheryl Flurry Dental Nurse RDN


Lucy HydeI love being part of the Linden team! I really enjoy coming in to work and meeting new people everyday. I enjoy all dentistry but my favourite treatment has to be oral surgery, as it is so interesting and there's always more to learn as it's a different case every time. It's a good feeling knowing you've helped.

Out of work I love playing sports and chilling with my friends. Lucy Hyde Dental Nurse RDN

Nikki SimonsIt's really great to work with such a fantastic team... It's so rewarding to feel that you've helped people to both overcome fears and give them a fantastic smile. Also to feel that you've managed to change peoples perspective of the dentist.
