Sophia has been a General Dentist here at Avondale House Dental Surgery since 2019. She enjoys every aspect of her job, in particular root canal treatment and cosmetic treatment. She provides a wide range of treatment for patients of all ages and backgrounds, including anxious patients. Sophia comes across as a caring and compassionate person who always puts her patients first.

Sophia enjoys building lasting relationships with her patients based on communication and trust and loves getting to know people on a more personal level. She is well known in the prac-tice, and to her patients, to have a bubbly and warm personality.

When it comes to dentistry, Sophia believes in prevention is the biggest cure and she aims to practice minimally invasive dentistry where possible. She believes in discussing treatment op-tions in depth to assist patients to make educated decisions about their treatments, which makes for better treatment outcomes.

Sophia truly enjoys her job as a dentist and, outside of her role at this surgery, she works as an emergency, out of hours dentist in Birmingham.

She is motivated to constantly keep learning in her profession and recently completed the Di-ploma of Membership of the Joint Dental Faculties (MJDF) at The Royal College of Surgeons of England.

In her free time, she enjoys baking, cooking, and going to the theatre. She also enjoys regular hiking trips with her dog – her favourite places so far being the Lake District and Snowdonia but is always keen for any travelling suggestions from her patients.
