Hamera is currently working with us on a part-time basis, asssiting our practice manager, Meg Daniels and will thereafter be joining us full-time in September. Welcome to the team Hamera!

We would like to wish our long standing hygienist, Mandy, a very happy retirement.

You will be very missed Mandy, by the A&S team and patients alike

We would like to welcome Malayka to our dental team!

Malayka has joined us as a trainee dental nurse. We look forward to working alongside Malayka :)

We are very pleased to be able to welcome Simone to our team!

Simone has joined us as part of our reception team, so keep a look out for her when you attend your appointments and say hello! Welcome to the A&S family Simone

We are thrilled to announce that our wonderful dentist, Dr Naiymah Tabassum; who was previously covering the maternity leave of one of our other associates, has now joined our team on a permanent basis.

We look forward to continue working alongside Naiymah, as part of the A&S dental team. Welcome, again, to the family Naiymah! :)

We are very sad to be having to say goodbye to our wonderful dentist, Dr Harry Charalambous. Harry has been a wonderful asset to A&S Dental Surgeons and we are certain that he will flourish in his new role. We wish him all the best in his bright career ahead of him.

We would also like to take this oppurtunity to welcome the lovely Dr Dhanish Jabbar who will be joining our A&S team as our new FD dental practitioner.

We look forward to working with Dhanish and we hope that you give him a warm welcome when you meet him :)

Great news....We have just been accredited for our 16th year with the BDA as a good practice!!

The BDA good practice is a scheme which offers dental practices a way to quality assure their service and to inform patients that they are committed to working to a high standard of good practice set by the profession's national association This means we can aim to keep up-to-date with nationally agreed standards of good practice in order to provide the best care for our patients.

We are assessed periodically, throughout our membership to ensure our practice is meeting the Scheme requirements.

Achieving the best possible outcomes for our patients depends upon the skills and professionalism of the whole dental team; our dental team has made this commitment to your dental care.

We are pleased to report that we had fantastic feedback from the BDA on the standard of our work :)

We would like to welcome Naiymah to the A&S Team!

Naiymah has joined our team as Nafesa leaves to enjoy her maternity with her new baby. Please join us in giving Naiymah the warmest of welcomes to A&S dental.

We would like to congratulate our lovely associate dentist, Nafesa and her family on the recent birth of her beautiful daughter.

We do hope you enjoy this precious time with your new addition and the whole team looks forward to meeting her in better times to come.

Congratulations!!

We would like to remind our patients that although we do indeed offer a fantastic text message reminder service, we cannot always guarantee this service. The system we use to provide this service is automated, and as such may fail from time to time. We would therefore recommend that our patients make a note of their appointment time and date at the time of booking. Thank you

It's so lovely to see a returning nurse Kelly. She started her dental nursing with us in 1994. She then left us for 9 years. However its so lovely to have her back!

We would also like to welcome our new trainee nurses Molly & Anaiyah

A big well done to Areej, who has recently passed her exams and is now a fully qualified dental nurse.

And an equally huge well done to Adeel, who has also recently passed all of his exams with flying colours, and is now a fully qualified dental nurse.

Congratualtions to both Madhia and Charlotte, who have both qualified in BDA dental radiography for dental care professionals. Well done!

In an effort to help reduce plastic waste we are now stocking interdental brushes with the bamboo handles.

NHS Leeds, Bradford & Airedale Health Promoting Dental Practices Award

A&S have been awarded the highest level (Step 3+) of this local award, which we have held since its inception. Briefly, this award recognises our commitment to preventative dental care; team training and advice on wider health issues such as smoking cessation advice.

We were pleased to help Public Health England with a recent study of adult oral health. Which is vital for the planning of health improvement programmes and dental surveys. Thank you to all of the patients who took part in this survey.

Congratulations to Sarah - Jayne and Charlotte who have both recently passed their exams and are now fully qualified Dental Nurses
