Hygienist/Therapist

Robyn Drake

BSc Oral Health Science
GDC No 211114

As a dedicated dental hygienist with over 14 years of experience, I have had the privilege of providing exceptional care to my patients. After graduating from Manchester University in 2011, I spent 11 rewarding years working in a private practice in South Kensington before relocating to Brighton four years ago. My passion for dental health and my commitment to delivering compassionate, gentle care have been the foundation of my professional approach.

Beyond the clinic, I am an avid advocate for maintaining a healthy lifestyle, whether through cycling, running, or playing tag rugby in a weekly social league. I believe that physical well-being plays a vital role in overall health, and I bring this energy and dedication to my work with every patient I see.

I take great pride in offering a warm, gentle approach to dental hygiene, ensuring that every patient feels comfortable, cared for, and relaxed during their visit. Your dental health is my top priority, and I’m here to ensure that you leave with a bright, confident smile!
