Meet The Team
Our dental team consists of four dentists, one clinical technician, four dental hygienists, one practice manager, one practice administrator, three receptionists, and five dental nurses. All of the dental team are motivated and trained to a high standard of care. Courses are attended by all members of the practice to ensure knowledge on all aspects from clinical to customer care.
The Dental Surgeons
Dr Robert Brown qualified at Trinity College Dublin in 1978. He joined the practice in 1980 as an associate and became a full partner in 1982. Since 1982 to 1994 he was a committed NHS practitioner and helped to keep the practice up to date in all areas for the benefit of the patients and the team. In 1994 he led the practice into the private sector under the Denplan banner, which has since proved to be an excellent way to maintain the high standards of care that our patients expect. He is an active member of the BDA and is the association's local secretary and press officer.
Dr Greg Whittingham qualified at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne in 1991. From there he moved to the Cornish Coast, working as an associate for his uncle, seeing mainly NHS patients at a busy family practice. Greg joined Cowplain Dental practice in 1998 as a partner. His aim was to provide better quality treatment and preventative dentistry in the private sector, than was possible on the NHS.
Dr Joe Perold qualified at the University of Stellenbosch in South Africa in 1985. He immediately went into private practice in South Africa and spent fourteen years in a family orientated practice covering all spheres of general dentistry. He moved to the UK in 1999 and joined Cowplain Dental Practice as a partner in 2003. In 2010 Joe received his Bachelor of Law (Honours) Degree, LLB, through the Open University.
