Meet our Team at Wentwood House Dental Practice

Agnes qualified in 1987 from Cardiff Dental Hospital. She joined the Wentwood family in 2010.

She relishes the sheer variety of patients we see, all of whom can benefit from her gentle approach. Agnes approaches every client as an individual with feelings, not just a mouth to treat.

She has two grown-up sons, one of whom is serving in the Royal Navy.

When she’s not working, she enjoys spending time walking her two dogs or in the garden. As well as time enjoying the seaside.

Jake qualified from the University of Bristol in 2021 to return to Monmouth, where he studied as a boy and first decided to become a dentist after shadowing a specialist there. Since qualifying, Jake has enjoyed treating all patients and providing a vast range of general dental care. He was soon offered a job to provide routine private dental care in Gloucester and another covering the county for any dental emergencies. Jake joined the team at Wentwood House in September 2023 and works diligently to provide the highest quality of dental care. Jake continues to study; having already completed several shorter advanced training courses, Jake is now studying part time to achieve a postgraduate diploma in aesthetic restorative dentistry. Jake believes it is vital for people to be confident in their appearance; always underpinned by healthy, predictable, long-lasting, and minimally invasive treatments, Jake enjoys playing his role in that journey. Jake also has an interest in facial aesthetics; he is qualified to provide Botox and dermal fillers to treat signs of ageing or other insecurities.

Outside of dentistry, Jake enjoys keeping fit. He has five working cocker spaniels and is a competitive skydiver. He has also recently started sailing.

Since moving from Wales to Gloucester, Kate has continued to work as a clinical hygienist at Cardiff University. Here Kate treats patients with a complex medical history, dental phobia, special care, head and neck cancer, and complex periodontal treatment. Kate also works locally as a hygienist/therapist.

Kate prides herself on providing treatment that is relaxed, gentle, and reassuring to even the most nervous of patients, as well as being informative and thorough. To develop her existing knowledge and provide the best possible treatment to her patients, she regularly attends courses and is a member of the British Society of Dental Hygiene and Therapy. Kate has completed training in guided biofilm treatment, tooth whitening, periodontal treatment, implant maintenance, facial aesthetics, skin care, and Reiki.

When not at work, Kate loves exploring the local area with her partner Scott and their two rescue dogs, Mile and Max, who you will probably hear about in your appointments. Kate is now a big Gloucester Rugby supporter and spends many a weekend watching the men and women rugby teams.

Ali completed his BDS from the University of Liverpool in 2016. Soon after, he was also awarded the MFDS diploma from the prestigious RCS Edinburgh.
