Dr. Laura AkastChudleigh Dental Practice

I qualified from Bristol University in 2002 After completing my dental foundation year in Gloucester I worked in both private and NHS practice treating a wide variety of patients with differing needs in the Bristol and Bath area for 5 years. In 2007 myself and my husband decided to relocate to Devon with all it has to offer for a better quality of life. I purchased Salisbury Villa Dental Surgery in December 2007 and after an extensive refurbishment it reopened in the summer of 2008 to provide a 4 surgery modern high quality treatment centre with a relaxed atmosphere providing access to all. I have a keen interest in restorative dentistry including crown and bridge and endodontics. I have great empathy for anxious patients and look to offer the best experience possible with a kind and gentle approach. In addition to my own clinical dentistry I am a South West Postgraduate Deanery Educational Supervisor for a foundation dentist who is placed within the practice every year. This provides the opportunity to share my knowledge and skills I have developed over the years and ensure I keep abreast with modern techniques and changes within dentistry. Outside of dentistry I have 2 young girls who occupy most of my free time along with enjoying the outdoors with my husband and making the most of Devon whether it be Dartmoor or the beautiful coastline we have.
