Dr Lara kriek

ASSOCIATE DENTIST

MSC (RESTORATIVE), BDS (HONS), BSC HONS
GDC NO. 243998

I have a passion for general dentistry but also designing and creating beautiful, natural smiles that not only look great but are affordable and last a long time.

I received my BDS with honours from the world renowned King’s College London rated in the most recent QS World University Rankings as the top dental school in Europe and 2nd in the world. Prior to dental school, I completed a BSc first class honours in Molecular Biology and Human Genetics from the University of London.

Hard work, commitment and dedication to excellence led to being recognised by the University as the top clinical student in my graduation year.

With the support of my lecturers and mentors I was fortunate to be awarded the Academy of Operative Dentistry for consistent excellence in clinical dentistry and the Alfred Woodhouse prize for academic excellence by Guys Kings St Thomas.

In 2018, I was nominated by the Private Dentistry Awards as a finalist for the Best Young Dentist South East. I achieved this by involving my patients in a gentle and relaxed setting of patient care.

To ensure I can offer my patients the ‘best in class’ treatment and to remain current in research and development I recently completed my Masters in Restorative and Aesthetic Dentistry with Distinction from the University of Manchester.

My special interest is cosmetic and restorative dentistry, aiming to help my patients build their dental confidence. It is my philosophy that only through listening and tailoring each treatment plan individually can I reach the best possible individual outcome for every patient.

I am calm and gentle in my approach to patient care which enables me to gain the trust of my patients. I practice high quality evidence-based dentistry with a strong emphasis on prevention and patient education to benefit all my patients.
