Dentistry
Ten years ago, on Jan 12th 2009, we welcomed our first patient into the practice, based next to Waitrose in Portishead. Since then, we’ve looked after the oral health of over 2,000 patients.
Initially, there was just Dr Carol Somerville Roberts, Joanne Wilkinson a hygienist who is still with the team, a dental nurse and a receptionist. Since then, the practice has significantly increased in size and now has 16 team members.
Dr Carol Somerville Roberts, Clinical Director, said “We still remember that first day, when we nervously waited for the phone to ring and our first patients to walk through the door.”
“I am truly proud of what Evolve is today, the team that have helped to grow the practice to what it is today and for the future ahead of us. Our ethos has always been patient led, preventative dentistry and I’m very pleased that we are known for this within the Portishead community.”
During the past 10 years, as well as offering general and cosmetic dentistry, we’ve introduced a wide range of treatments that we can offer our patients, including wrinkle clinics, dentures, braces, TMJ, laser gum treatment and stop snoring treatment.
Evolve Dentistry offers a comprehensive Dental Health Plan that provides patients with 2 healthy mouth reviews and 2 hygiene therapy appointments each year, patients also benefit from free home tooth whitening and a worldwide Dental Emergency Assistance Scheme
On Friday the January 11th, we welcomed some of our original patients back to the practice to help us celebrate our success. Many of whom we have seen every 6 months for the past 10 years, so they are part of the Evolve family as well.
“Thank you to everyone that has been part of Evolve’s success, we really appreciate your support and look forward to another successful ten years in Portishead.”
50km… and counting! 🚲💪
Our Clinical Director, Dr Carol Somerville Roberts, has just completed her longest training ride yet — an incredible 50 kilometres — as she prepares for a life-changing charity cycle from the base of Kilimanjaro to the Ngorongoro Crater in February 2026.
Carol is taking on this huge challenge to raise funds for Bridge2Aid, a charity providing vital emergency dental care and training in Tanzania. The money raised will help run an outreach and training programme where eight Dental Therapists will be trained and around 2,000 people will receive essential dental treatment.
For someone who hasn’t been on a bike in years, months of training in all weathers is no small feat — and we couldn’t be more proud of her determination.
If you’d like to support Carol and help make a genuine difference to communities with little or no access to dental care, you can donate here:

Thank you for cheering her on! 💜
You were expecting a big before-and-after reveal, weren’t you? 😁
Here’s the truth: the best way to save money at the dentist is simple — floss! 🦷
A few seconds a day can help prevent costly treatments later.

Claire used to feel really self-conscious about her stained teeth and often hid her smile. After having veneers at Evolve Dentistry, she now smiles confidently — and can’t stop! 💚
Her story is a wonderful reminder of how transforming your smile can transform how you feel, too.
