Faye Holman
Orthodontic Therapist
GDC No: 167493
Faye began her career in dentistry back in a quaint little NHS practice in Balham 2005. She soon secured her National Certificate in dental nursing which spurred her interest further. In 2010 she ventured into specialist practice to gain experience in Implants, Endodontics, Periodontics and Prothodontics. Hand in hand she successfully completed the National Certificate in Oral Health Education to gain further knowledge and understanding in these fields to pass on to patients.
Having initially had the desire to be a hygienist, it became apparent in 2014 that this was all to change when she stepped into the world of Orthodontics. Her dreams became reality when she successfully qualified as an Orthodontic Therapist in 2019. She prides herself on her ability to put patients at ease and strives to provide the best possible care for her patients.
Outside of work Faye enjoys spending time with her family, travelling and is an avid darts fan.
