Meet the Team
Here at Nottingham Road Dental Practice we believe our team are our most important asset. We aim to give our patients complete satisfaction and we’re always happy to answer any questions you may have.

Sara Taylor
Practice Director
Sara is also a fully qualified dental nurse and can sometimes been seen covering for staff absence in the surgery, nursing or on the reception welcoming patients to the practice. Sara firmly believes that all team members should be willing to ‘roll up their sleeves and do whatever is necessary to ensure we provide a continuous quality service to our patients’.
At home Sara is also busy with her twin sons who are in their first year of university and looking after her horse, dog and cats!!
