Ileana is one of our most recent clinicians to join the {my}dentist Ryde team. Coming to us in February, Ileana boasts 10 years of dental experience. She was inspired to get into the field of dentistry in her teens, when she realised how much her friends and family feared gong to the dentist. She wanted to make the experience more patient friendly and comfortable so she decided the best way to do it was to become a dentist herself. She brings with her a wealth of knowledge, including specialisms such as Facial Aesthetics. Ileana works 5 days a week and will happily help with any dental issues you encounter.
