Northlight Dental

Our team

The people who will look after you

Northlight opened on Harbour Parade in 2011 with three rules: talk before anything happens, show people what we see, and write the price down first. Every person below works to them.

Dentists and hygienists

Dr Iona Craddock

Principal dentist · aligners and cosmetic

Opened Northlight after fifteen years of watching people apologise for their own teeth. The five minutes of talking before anything happens is her rule.

Ask about: Aligners, bonding, and why she will usually talk you out of veneers.

Founded the practice in 2011 Book with Dr Craddock

Dr Femi Adeyemi

Dentist · crowns and implants

Slow hands, steady voice, and a habit of saying what comes next a second before it happens. Takes on the teeth other practices have written off.

Ask about: Rebuilding a tooth you have been told needs pulling.

Here since 2011 Book with Dr Adeyemi

Dr Marta Sokół

Dentist · nervous patients and sedation

Runs the calm list. If you have a genuine phobia rather than ordinary reluctance, you will be offered Marta whether or not you ask.

Ask about: What sedation actually feels like. Her answer: a very long yawn.

Here since 2013 Book with Dr Sokół

Rosalind Kerrigan

Dental hygienist

The gentlest scale in the building and a firm policy of mentioning flossing no more than once per visit.

Ask about: Gums that bleed when you brush — without making you feel bad about it.

Here since 2011 Book with Rosalind

Theo Mwangi

Hygienist and therapist · children

Sees the children and the first-timers. Can get a nervous eight-year-old to open wide in under a minute.

Ask about: A child’s first visit, and how early is too early.

Here since 2015 Book with Theo

How we work

Talk first

Every appointment starts sitting upright. Five minutes, more if you need it.

Show, then explain

X-rays and photographs go on the screen beside you. We point at what we mean.

Price before treatment

A written, itemised quote. Once agreed, the number does not move.
