Dentistry
Back in May 2016, in our blog ‘The Dentist’s Dentist’ we brought you the exciting news about Jonathan Sproson joining the Evolve Dentistry team. He’s been working with us for around eight months now, so we thought it would be the perfect time to catch up and see how he’s settling in and enjoying working at Evolve Dentistry…
Do you feel as though you’ve settled in at Evolve Dentistry now? How easy was that?
I have been travelling between my old practice in Jersey and Evolve Dentistry in Portishead for the past few months. That transition period, whilst fairly demanding, was a great familiarisation period. It meant I could learn the new software, a new surgery, a new team and a new area. I have known Carol, the Principal, for many years so I was very confident of the standards she expects for our patients. This allowed me to concentrate on making my patients feel relaxed and ready for care and treatment.
What’s your favourite thing about working at Evolve Dentistry?
Definitely the expectation that the practice will deliver the of highest standards, both clinically and in terms of customer care and environment. Carol has set up a terrific practice here. The team is constantly aiming to improve our patients’ experience of dentistry. With my experience as a qualified practice assessor, I would only work in a dental practice that upholds the highest standards in regulation and compliance, which our Care Quality Commission report testifies.
This allows me to be able to focus entirely on each patient, rather than being distracted by non-clinical items. I know that our front of house team gives everyone a really warm welcome and that patients can enjoy the relaxing and rather smart reception area before their appointment. The nurses are on top of the clinical support function and the management is driven extremely efficiently; I have very conscientious and supportive dental colleagues in Carol and Lisa and our hygienists, Joanne and Hannah.
I only have a 15-minute walk to Evolve Dentistry, taking in the lovely views of the estuary on the way. Being new to the area, my patients have made me most welcome, bringing me local information and advice that has been really useful to me, and my wife, Jayne. What is really humbling is that my patients have already started referring their friends, family and colleagues to me, which is such a help as we establish ourselves in Portishead. A big thank you – you know who you are!
Oh I nearly forgot the display of Gromits in the window… they always put a smile on my face to start the day.
Which treatments do you enjoy carrying out the most?
I chose general dentistry because I enjoy the variety of the role. If I were pushed to choose one treatment I would have to say smile enhancement but that might be cheating on the question, as I tend to use a variety of treatments to get the outcome my patient is looking for. My experience means that I can bring together bite adjustment to ensure the cosmetic work will have longevity. Once the bite is stable it might be a case of straightening the teeth with a cosmetically focused braces, which allows adult teeth to be straightened within about six months. I am a fan of minimally invasive dentistry to preserve natural teeth. I often will combine Six Month Smiles braces with a technique called aesthetic composite bonding to enhance a smile if a patient has misaligned and worn teeth. My patients call them higgledy piggledy teeth!
Here is one I did earlier (patient kindly gave consent for me to share this)…
What’s your top dental tip for patients?
Find a dentist who will understand the implications of maintaining a disease-free mouth to the benefit of your overall health and wellbeing. I promise you, it is hugely important. Once you are armed with that knowledge you can then make an informed decision as to how important it is for you to keep your natural teeth for life.
If you are committed to this then you can then work with a dentist and their hygienist team to provide a healthy mouth programme for you – think of it like a team of personal trainers dedicated to your smile! At Evolve Dentistry, the practices works independently of any state system, which means we are not limited in what we can provide in terms of preventative care. Evolve Dentistry makes this accessible by offering a Dental HealthPlan, which covers preventative dental care and lots of other preferential benefits for members.

How Sedation Dentistry Can Help You Feel Relaxed
If dental appointments make you feel anxious or overwhelmed, you’re not alone. At Evolve Dentistry, we believe everyone deserves access to comfortable, stress-free dental care. That’s why we offer sedation dentistry in Portishead.
Sedation dentistry involves using medication to help you feel deeply relaxed during your treatment. While you’re still awake and able to respond, you’ll feel calm and often have little to no memory of the procedure afterwards.
Sedation can be an excellent option if:
- You experience severe dental anxiety
- You have a strong gag reflex
- You need a complex or lengthy treatment
- You’ve avoided the dentist for years due to fear
At Evolve Dentistry, our experienced team will carefully assess your needs and discuss the sedation options available to you. Your safety and comfort are always our top priorities, and we take the time to explain each step so you know exactly what to expect.
By choosing sedation dentistry in Portishead, you can finally receive the dental care you need without the fear or worry. Many of our patients tell us that after trying sedation, they no longer put off their appointments and feel much more confident about their oral health.
If you’ve been avoiding the dentist because of anxiety, we invite you to discover how gentle, compassionate care and sedation options can transform your experience. #sedation #sedationdentist #awardwinning #beyourbestself #Northsomerset #freeconsultation #multiawardwinning #patientsatisfaction #compositebonding #patientsfirst #newpatients #healthysmiles #naturalteeth #acceptingnewpatients #nailsea #portishead #clevedon #portisheadmarina #dentist #dentures

✨ Wondering when it’s the “right time” to start facial aesthetic treatments? You’re not alone!
At Evolve Dentistry, we believe confidence isn’t about chasing trends — it’s about feeling good in your own skin, at any age.
Here’s what you should know:
🔞 Under 18? It’s illegal in the UK to receive injectable treatments like fillers or wrinkle reduction — and for good reason.
⏳ Most people start in their late 20s+, when early signs of ageing (like fine lines or volume loss) begin to appear.
🧠 It’s not just about age — maturity, motivation, and understanding the process are key.
🧑⚕️ We focus on natural, subtle enhancements — no overdone results here.
💬 A thorough consultation is essential — we only recommend treatments that are right for you.
We’re here to support you with honest advice, professional care, and results that reflect you at your best — not a filter.
