About Our Dedicated Team
Fiona Baker
Fiona has worked in dentistry for over 25 years and qualified as a hygienist at Guys in 2005.

This work enabled her to treat patients who had seen the consultant and required more complex treatment. She likes working alongside Angela Nketia (our specialist Periodontist) and the challenge of treating patients with advanced periodontal disease, as well as providing support to the rest of the team so the mouth is stable for the complex treatments the patients are receiving. She regularly attends courses to update her knowledge and is committed to professional development.

The practice is friendly and personal
Before any treatment is started we have a consultation appointment to assess if the tooth can be treated and what to expect during treatment and afterwards. Quality of care and your safety is very important to us. Disposable items are used where possible and all remaining instruments are sterilized with the latest equipment.
