Dentist in Billingham

James Robson qualified from Newcastle University in 1998 and spent six years working in NHS general dental practice on Teesside. This was followed by a similar period in private practice in York, before purchasing this practice in 2010.

James also enjoys teaching dentists, hygienists and therapists or writing for the dental or local press. He is most passionate about tooth coloured fillings and gum health and the links to general health and wellbeing.

Apart from dentistry, James enjoys family life, nature watching and photography, especially birds. Maybe you have seen him at RSPB Saltholme?

James is an exceptionally enthusiastic dentist who produces remarkable tooth coloured restorations, and although not one to promote himself he regularly lectures in different countries on this very subject.

Kirsten Bridgman qualified from Newcastle University in 1997 and also practises dentistry in Guisborough. She enjoys all aspects of general dentistry, but has a particular emphasis on preventative measures. Kirsten completed her Diploma in General Dental Practice from the Royal College of Surgeons in 2003.

Kirsten also enjoys the outdoors, whether it be walking, rambling, gardening or spending time with the family.

Claire qualified at Newcastle Dental Hospital in 1998 and spent many years working in the oral surgery and orthodontic departments in local general hospitals in the Teesside area. She also worked in Newcastle Dental Hospital doing research within the restorative department.

She has gained PGCE which enables her to teach which she has done in Durham College assisting with the training of dental nurses and those gaining the diploma in oral health education.

I started my dental nursing career in 1980, after a few adventures I returned to the profession in 2008 and qualified as a dental nurse at this practice in 2010. I decided to broaden my horizons and became a trainer/assessor at Shape Training which I enjoyed for almost 4 years returning to Identity Dental Care in 2014. I guess I just couldn't stay away, its great being back with the team again!

I completed my apprenticeship in 2012 at Shape Training and worked in a very busy NHS practice for over 8 years. Although I enjoyed my job I wanted a change of direction and the experience of working in a fully private practice.

Since joining Identity I have seen the individual attention that is given to each patient and the team have really welcomed and supported me, it's also nice to see a familiar face having been supported by Caroline when she previously worked at Shape Training.

Outside of work I love to spend time with my family and friends and enjoy travelling and visiting other countries.

Currently studying at Newcastle University to become a hygiene therapist

I am currently studying with Northern Skills at Middlesbrough College. I am training to become a fully qualified Dental Nurse.

Outside of work I enjoy playing hockey, running and spending time with my friends and family

I am currently working as a trainee dental nurse and will soon be commencing my Apprenticeship to become a fully qualified Dental Nurse.

I worked in the Aviation Industry for 18 years after which I was given an amazing opportunity to pursue a change of career path into Dental Nursing, the team here at Identity Dental Care have welcomed me as a staff member having previously been a patient.

I have a passion for the outdoors and will often be found in the Lake District with my husband and my beloved pooch Alfie.
