Meet our Team at City Dental

Hi, I’m Becky.

I am a qualified dental nurse, I gained my qualification in 2018. I have recently moved to Yorkshire from Norfolk to start studying to become a dental hygienist and therapist. I joined City Dental in July 2021 and feel very lucky to be part of such a great team and excited for this new chapter in my life.

Aside from work, I enjoy spending time with my friends and visiting my family when I can. I also love travelling and walking so exploring this new city is very exciting.

Hi I'm Bryna!

I have recently moved to Leeds from New Zealand with my partner. I was a qualified dental nurse for 4 years working in general dentistry and orthodontics but am now starting my new journey as a receptionist here at City Dental! I hope to be a welcoming face to all patients when they come into the practice and help in any way I can.

Outside of work I like spending time with my family/friends, walking my dog, exploring different areas and traveling when I can.

After graduating from the University of Leeds in 2019, I continued training to expand the range of services I offer my patients and discovered a love of smile makeovers and facial aesthetics.

I take part in dental public health initiatives and am especially interested in research and publication. I’ve contributed to many projects, including one exploring the impact of antibiotic resistance on dental care.

I’m committed to staying up-to-date with evidence-based dentistry to provide my patients with personalised, science-supported care.

In my free, I love to travel and sample new cuisines.

I enjoy working alongside the dentists and being a part of every patient's journey to achieve their smile transformations'.

Dr Mahmood graduated from the prestigious University of Debrecen in 2012 with a Doctorate of Medical Dentistry (DMD).

Dr Mahmood prides himself on giving meticulous attention to patient care and providing high-quality dentistry. This ranges from routine examinations and fillings to more technique-sensitive procedures such as aesthetic composite restorations/veneers to minor oral surgery. He has travelled extensively to attend courses led by leading Dentists in the country to hone his skills. In 2017 he was a finalist for "Young Dentist Of The Year” for the UK’s largest dental corporate after receiving outstanding patient feedback (99%+, 5* rating of 200+ patients) and recommendations from senior colleagues. Dr Mahmood also is very popular with treating patients who are nervous or have a phobia of the Dentist. He completed his dental thesis on the topic of Dental Fear and lectured on this extensively.

During his Senior House Officer post in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, he gained experience in the treatment of patients in a hospital setting, from treating patients under General Anaesthetic, inhalation sedation, IV sedation, and local anaesthetic. This post included “on-call” commitments which gave him substantial experience working alongside multiple neighbouring hospitals A&E departments in managing a large variety of emergencies from facial lacerations/ facial swellings to fractured jaws and dog bites. Dr Mahmood exited with a glowing recommendation for his ability to deliver excellent patient care in highly stressful situations. During this time he was also a writer for the British Dental Journal documenting his experiences and reflections to dental students.

Dr Mahmood is also a member of the Royal College of Surgeons after successfully passing the MJDF examination.

Dr Mahmood is a friendly dentist who will always want to leave a smile on your face.

Services: General Dentist with a special interest in endodontic treatment.

Hello, I'm Elena, and I'm delighted to share a bit about myself with you. I'm an experienced general dentist with a particular passion for endodontics. My journey in dentistry commenced when I graduated from dental school in Craiova, Romania, back in 2003. Since then, I've devoted over 18 years to the field, continually striving to deliver the best possible care for my patients.

For the past 16 years, I've been based in Leeds, working in a mixed private-NHS practice.

My commitment to education has been pivotal in my career. In 2013, I completed a Certificate in Restorative Dentistry at Warwick University, broadening the range of treatments I could offer. Furthermore, in 2023, I graduated with Distinction from King's College London, achieving a Postgraduate Diploma in Endodontics. This specialized training has allowed me to delve deeply into the intricacies of endodontic procedures, including working under microscopes and serving as a dentist with special interest (DwSI) in Endodontics across various practices, receiving referrals from colleagues. I deeply value the trust my colleagues place in me by referring endodontic cases. I approach each case with the utmost care and dedication.

When it comes to patient care, I believe in a calm and empathetic approach. I endeavour to make each patient's experience as comfortable as possible, taking the time to listen to their concerns and needs.

Beyond dentistry, I find joy in spending time with my family, exploring new destinations through travel.  Most recently, I have started my diving journey with PADI Open Water Certification.
