Our Implant Dentist

Associate Dentist Dr. Joanna Sutcliffe, Associate Dentist BDS MCGDent DPDS Dip Implants MSc Rest Dentistry GDC No: 70622 Joanna graduated with honours from Bristol, and after a year working in practice in the Lake District came to Devon to do a year’s oral surgery training at the RD&E. After achieving Diplomas from the Royal College of Surgeons and Bristol University in the field of General Practice, she was a founding partner in an innovative new, out-of-town all female, private practice in Exeter. After 10 years, she left practice ownership to continue further post graduate studies at Bristol, achieving a distinction at diploma level in Dental Implants in 2016 and in 2018 was awarded a Master’s degree in Restorative Dentistry with Merit from the University of Plymouth. She has been involved in teaching undergraduate dental students at Peninsula dental school.

She is a member of the ADI and ITI implant groups, the Devon Independent practitioners’ group, Society for the Advancement of Anaesthesia in Dentistry (SAAD), and the British Society of Restorative Dentistry (BSRD). This keeps her busy but up to date with modern practice.

Her passion is to work with you to improve and maintain all aspects of your oral health and to provide you with the highest quality care and service.

Her areas of interest include the provision of care for anxious patients requiring dental sedation, comprehensive care involving cosmetic or functional rehabilitation of your smile and the replacement of missing teeth/ stabilising dentures with dental implant treatment options.

“My training enables me to take a broad view of your needs and to offer you a wide variety of dental services to an advanced level, including implants and, for the nervous patients, dental sedation”.

“I aim to help you bring out your best smile; be that keeping your natural teeth for life or replacing those that you may have lost. It could be simply overcoming dental anxiety, whitening your smile, or replacing old unsightly fillings. I can also guide you through the more complex multiple tooth or full mouth reconstructions for severely broken down mouths, offering fixed solutions e.g. bridges or implants or removable solutions e.g. full or part dentures to replace missing teeth and create a better looking and functioning smile that best suits your needs.”

Away from work, she enjoys horse riding with her daughter, cycling and running with her husband and looking after her vegetable patch and her chickens.
