Face
Dentistry
We have a new front of house team member here at Evolve Dentistry in Portishead! Teresa has worked with us in the past, left to develop her career and is now back with a raft of experience under her belt. We’re really happy to have her smiling face and caring manner back in our practice and we thought we’d introduce you to her in her own words…
“I’m really pleased to be back working at Evolve Dentistry because it is friendly and welcoming with plenty of state-of-the art equipment. I’ve spent some time working in high-end dental practices and clinics who carry out smile makeovers and work to very high standards, many of these were award winners so I’ve brought that experience back to Evolve with me.
I find Evolve an exciting place to work because the team like to use the latest techniques, developments and equipment. I love working at here because I am representing dentists and clinicians who provide a really high level of dentistry, which makes me feel very proud within my role.
I also love meeting patients and getting to understand their individual concerns and needs. My priority is making the patient journey in our practice a pleasant one at every stage and I do that by providing the level of support that is required. I really enjoy the patient-facing aspect of my role and I’m very experienced in dealing with patients who suffer from dental fear. My advice to anyone who is nervous about visiting the dentist is to take the plunge and call us. The whole team here at Evolve are really friendly and we’ll go out of our way to make you feel safe and comfortable in our practice. I advise coming in to have a look around and meeting the team in your own time too, this can help to ease nerves by finding familiarity with the dental practice, which makes it a much less scary place to visit. We’re more than happy to accommodate this if you feel it would help, so pick up the phone and have a chat with us!
In my spare time I’m a member of walking groups and we like to take in the fresh air over the Brecon Beacons at the weekends. I have to admit that I also enjoy good wine and food; with my daughter currently living and working as a teacher in Vietnam that has provided me with lots of cooking (and eating!) inspiration. She’s been out there with her husband for four years and I’ve been lucky enough to visit a few times and travel around parts of Asia, benefiting from her knowledge and experience as my personal tour guide!
I also love to read; my Kindle is my best friend. I’ve just enjoyed The Girl On The Train because it had a great twist at the end. I’m a big fan of arts and culture and really enjoy seeing plays and attending the theatre. I’ve recently been to see Motown: The Musical in London, and of course I couldn’t resist seeing a pantomine over the Christmas period!”
If you find the thought of visiting the dentist a terrifying prospect, you’re not alone. This is a very common fear and, as Teresa says, it’s something we’re very experienced in helping patients with here at Evolve Dentistry. Take the first step and call our reception team on 01275 842 550 for a friendly chat about the ways in which we could make dentistry a pleasant experience for you.
🪥 Do your gums bleed when you brush your teeth?
Many people think a little bleeding is normal, but it’s often your gums’ way of telling you that something isn’t quite right.
In this video, Dr Richard Ford explains some of the most common reasons gums bleed and what you can do to improve your gum health at home.
The good news is that, in many cases, bleeding gums can be improved with the right oral hygiene routine and professional support.
Watch the video to learn more and let us know if you’ve got a dental question you’d like us to answer next.

🦷 Dental myth or dental fact? 🤔
One of the most common myths we hear is that teeth whitening is bad for your teeth.
In this video, Maggie explains why professionally prescribed teeth whitening is a safe and effective way to brighten your smile when carried out under the guidance of a dental professional.
Unfortunately, misinformation can stop people from exploring treatments that could help them feel more confident about their smile. That’s why we’re passionate about sharing trusted advice and helping patients make informed decisions about their oral health.

🥤 Are sugary drinks really bad for your teeth?
It’s a question we hear all the time.
In this video, our Therapist Flora explains how sugary drinks can affect your teeth and why it’s not just the amount of sugar that matters, but how often you’re having it throughout the day.
The good news? You don’t have to give up all your favourite drinks. A few simple changes can make a big difference to your oral health.
Watch Flora’s advice and let us know if there’s a dental question you’d like us to answer next.

At Evolve, we’re incredibly proud of our team - not just for the care they provide to our patients, but for the difference they make beyond the practice too. 💜
On 30 July, our wonderful dental nurse, Kayse, and her brother will be taking on an incredible challenge by completing a charity skydive in support of Alzheimer’s Research UK.
They’re stepping well outside their comfort zones to raise money for a cause that means so much. Alzheimer’s and dementia affect millions of families, taking away precious memories and changing lives forever. By supporting Alzheimer’s Research UK, they’re helping to fund vital research into better treatments and, one day, a cure.
Their fundraising target is £650, and every donation, no matter how big or small, will make a real difference.
If you’d like to support Kayse and her brother, you can donate here:

Good luck with the jump Kayse - we know you’ll be amazing! ✈️💜

“How long will it take?” 🤔
It’s one of the first questions we hear from patients considering teeth straightening - and the honest answer is that every smile is different.
Some patients achieve their desired results in as little as six months, while more complex cases may take longer. The good news is that modern orthodontic treatment is carefully planned from the start, so you’ll have a clear idea of what to expect before treatment begins.
At Evolve Dentistry, we’ll assess your smile, discuss your goals and create a personalised treatment plan tailored to you.
Whether you’re looking to correct crowding, close gaps or improve the overall appearance of your smile, the journey may be shorter than you think.

It’s World Wellbeing Week, and we’d love to hear from you!
Looking after your wellbeing doesn’t have to mean making big changes. Sometimes it’s the simple things that make the biggest difference - a walk in the fresh air, spending time with family, exercising, reading a good book or enjoying a coffee with a friend.
At Evolve, we know that looking after your wellbeing is an important part of living a happy, healthy life.
So, here’s our question:
💙 What is your favourite way to look after your wellbeing?
