N. Paul Smith BDS
Principal Dentist

After qualifying from Liverpool University in 1982, Paul initially worked in Biddulph and Alsager. He joined our practice as an associate dentist in 1983, when we were known as West Park Dental Practice, and became Principal Dentist in 1990. He loves interacting with his patients and enjoys all aspects of dentistry. He has a special interest in minimally invasive, cosmetic restorations. In his spare time Paul can be found mountain biking around the beautiful Cheshire and Peak District area, rock climbing, mountaineering, walking and skiing. He still finds time to socialise with friends and family and sample various gins from his son’s distillery.

Emma Smith
Registered Dental Hygienist
GDC No. 5203
Emma has worked at the practice since she qualified from Manchester Dental Hospital in 1997.
When Emma is not hard at work keeping teeth and gums in great condition, she enjoys making the most of the great outdoors with Paul. They regularly take advantage of their proximity to the beautiful Peak District, where they enjoy mountain biking, walking and climbing, either as a couple or in the company of friends and family. As well as this Emma is taking up Salsa dancing so watch out if she starts practising her ‘Dile Que No’ with you.
