Hello, I'm Dr. Vanessa Caldeira. I qualified as a dentist in Portugal in 2007 and shortly after, I moved to England to further my career. Over the years, I've earned a Diploma in Restorative Dentistry from the University of Warwick, became a certified Invisalign provider and expanded my expertise to include facial aesthetic treatments.
Early in my career, I had the opportunity to work at the Restorative Department at the Queens Medical Centre in Nottingham. During my time there, I focused on providing complex restorative treatment for patients diagnosed with head or neck cancer, patients with cleft palate and rehabilitation of patients with fixed and removable prostheses over implants, as well as those with severe tooth wear. These experiences were invaluable in shaping my approach to comprehensive patient care.
For many years, I've worked as a General Dental Practitioner (GDP) in mixed practices. Six years ago, I joined Chilwell Dental Practice in Nottingham, which later became part of the Rodericks Dental Partners group three years ago.
Since the acquisition, I have appreciated the access to different specialist teams I have gained through the group’s professional networks. Rodericks Dental Partners has provided me with incredible opportunities to further my career through co-funded courses. Their supportive approach to flexible working has also greatly contributed to my career growth.
Having a family, finding the right balance between my professional and personal life has been crucial. Rodericks Dental Partners enabled a phased return to work after having my children and agreed to working hours that suited my life. Their understanding and flexibility have been a significant factor in my continued happiness and success in my role.
The team I work with at Chilwell Dental Practice is incredibly caring and supportive. The collaborative environment makes a huge difference in providing the best care for our patients and in fostering a positive workplace.
I'm really pleased to continue working with Rodericks Dental Partners and am happy to recommend them to fellow dental professionals. Their commitment to professional development and support has been instrumental in my journey.
