Our Dentists

Dave Mantle BDS Principal Dentist

David qualified from Birmingham University in 1992, and has worked in general practice and hospital surgery departments for a number of years. He has a wide experience in dental procedures having completed two years postgraduate training with world recognized dentist Paul Tipton in Manchester.  He is a member of the British Dental Association and the Faculty of General Dental Practitioners at the Royal College of Surgeons. Dr Dave has a particular interest in root canal treatment, which involves the painless management and removal of infection in and around teeth.  Since becoming the practice owner in 2001 he has been the driving force behind Smilecares' philosophy of providing high-tech dentistry in a relaxed and happy environment.  With a  weak spot for gadgets 'Dr D' has recently purchased 'videoglasses' for each surgery, which allows patients to watch a dvd of their choice whilst having dental treatment. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive and he is always on the search for more innovative technology to make your dental experience more enjoyable.  Outside the practice David enjoys family life in Chiswick with his wife and two young daughters as well as competing in  triathlon and marathon events.  His toughest challenge to date was running The Marathon des Sables in aid of the Shooting Stars Hospice.

Neale Katz Dentist BDS

Neale qualified from Witswatersrand University in 1986. He has been the longest serving member at Smilecare and works part-time in order to spend more time with his family.  He has a particular interest in restorative and cosmetic dentistry having completed the prestigious Harris Sidelsky course in advanced restorative dentistry, and is also an accredited Invisalign, (invisible braces), practitioner. He has many years experience in providing advanced cosmetic treatments including Zoom tooth whitening and CAD/CAM crown and bridgework.

Our Hygienists Jasmin, Kemi and Nada

Jasmin, and Nada are very experienced hygienists.  They enjoy using the latest ultra-sonic and Air Polishing technology to ensure patients have a great hygiene visit, and always offers anaesthetic gel to ensure a comfortable experience, along with ipod tunes to listen to.

Newsflash: Kemi our other hygienist has left to study medicine, we will miss her very much and wish her well, though she will be back to help out when she isn't studying!

Our nursing support, Charlotte, Sarah and Lucy

Our nurses have all been with us for a number of years.  Charlotte, Lucy and Sarah are qualified nursing staff registered with the General Dental Council, and we are proud to invest in their continuing education as they are an integral part of the clinical team. They are instrumental in ensuring that your experience at Smilecare is one that is comfortable and one that you would happily recommend to your friends. Without their support Smilecare would be the same as every other practice.

Jan and Rachel, our receptionists

Jan and Rachel are often your first port of call when contacting the practice. They are the ones that keep the practice running seamlessly and are ready to address your dental needs. When Jan's not at Smilecare she is a busy mum looking after her young daughters in Chessington.  Rachel is David's long suffering wife, and in her spare time she can be found making lots of noise driving around Chiswick in her 1970 fiat 500. If you see her give her a wave!
