We would like to introduce you to one of our principal dentists, Dr André Faro Leite LMD (Portugal), DIP DENT IMP RCSED, MSC Implant Dentistry (Warwick), PgCert Orthodontics (Warwick), AFHEA.

“I’ve been a principal dentist here at Inspired for nearly 6 years now. My favourite parts of my job are placing implants and orthodontics. I am also a clinical supervisor at the University of Plymouth one day a week here in Exeter. As well as this, I do try my best to take part in as many charity fundraisers as possible, either individually or as a practice. The last challenge I took part in was Prostate cancer UK for April’s “Run the month”. It’s was a virtual challenge set by the charity to help raise awareness for the most commonly diagnosed cancer in the UK and to help fund their research. With the help of donations from friends, family and patients I managed to raise a total of £300 which I am really pleased with.

We would also like to introduce you to Sarah, our Dental Therapist. Sarah has been with us for 18 years and is a key part of our clinical team.

“I qualified as a Dental Hygienist in 1987 and have enjoyed a very varied career having worked in the military, oral surgery, NHS and private dentistry. I love working at Inspired Dental Care. I enjoy helping patients achieve their oral hygiene goals and am glad I’m a part of the patients journey. I work with a fantastic and dedicated team of professionals. In my spare time I enjoy doing yoga and walking my two dogs.”
