The Team

Dani qualified from University of Sao Paulo State in Brazil in 2002, where she was awarded the prestigious Maillefer Honours and Distinction Endodontic Award.   She then enrolled into an extensive postgraduate program receiving her Masters Degree and PhD and became specialist endodontist and prosthodontist in both countries.

Dani worked as a Clinical Lecturer at Barts and The London Hospital Dental Institute in London,   as an Associate Clinical Teacher at the University of Warwick and is nowadays an Invited Professor at University of Sao Paulo State in Brazil.   She also lectures both nationally and internationally and provides postgraduate endodontic courses.

Outside of the office Dani enjoys spending time with her husband and two children.   Her other passions are travelling and classical ballet as she has been dancing since she was four-years-old.

I qualified at The Royal London Hospital in 1968, and after a couple of years in oral surgery went into general dental practice,   where I established my own dental practice,   obtaining the MGDS Diploma in 1985.   This was a turning point in my career and,   expanding an interest in Endodontics,   I completed the Endodontic Masters Programme at The Eastman Dental Institute,   London, in 1994.

Completing the Membership in Restorative Dentistry Diploma and admission to the General Dental Council Endodontic Specialist Register encouraged me to limit my practice to endodontic referrals.   I have recently been awarded the Fellowship in Dental Surgery by The Faculty of Dental Surgery of The Royal College of Surgeons.

I hold part time appointments as an Honorary Clinical Lecturer in Endodontics at The Eastman Dental Institute in Continuing Professional Development,   and at Barts and The London Hospital Dental Institute.   I also lecture both nationally and internationally,   and provide hands-on postgraduate endodontic courses in my own surgery,   usually with participants present as observers while I carry out an endodontic treatment procedure which is relayed through the operating microscope video to a monitor.   I am an examiner for The Membership in Endodontics for The Royal College of Surgeons Edinburgh.

Dr Aisling Quinn Specialist Endodontist BDS MFGBP MSc M.Endo RCSEdin

Dr Quinn qualified as a Dentist from the Queen’s University in Belfast in 1993. She then completed Diploma and Master’s degrees in Endodontic Practice at The Royal London Dental Hospital. She later gained a Membership in Endodontics from the Royal College of Surgeons in Edinburgh and was accepted on to the General Dental Council’s Specialist Register for Endodontics.

Alongside her work here in Tunbridge Wells, Dr Quinn is also a Specialist Endodontist at King’s College Hospital, London. In this role she treats patients with complex endodontic problems and those patients who have suffered severe dental trauma injuries. She is also a member of the clinical and academic teaching team and course examiner for the post-graduate Endodontic Diploma at King’s College Hospital. For several years Dr Quinn also taught Endodontics to Master’s students at the Royal London Dental Hospital.

Prior to specialising in Endodontics, Dr Quinn worked in general dental practice for many years. She uses her skills, knowledge and experience to ensure that all patients receive whole-patient dental care from the diagnostic stage, to treatment planning, delivery with the latest equipment and follow-up care.

Dr Quinn does have a life beyond endodontics! She has run 5 marathons and countless half-marathons, but is now content with walking and cycling by the Kent coast.

SARAH MCCLOUD  Practice Manager  & Receptionist

I have worked at the Specialist Endodontic Practice for over twenty years and enjoy my time here immensely.  It is a lovely place to work with a calm and friendly welcoming atmosphere and we have a fantastic team of professionals that work amazingly well together. 

My main priority here is the patient and I aim to make each visit as pleasant, informed and stress free as possible.  I work daily with a lot of referring dentists, who entrust the care of their patients to us and I am committed to ensure that we are providing an excellent service to both the patient and the dentist.  We are here to provide outstanding patient care and we value the trust that they have placed in us.

KAREN Dental Nurse

I started my career in 1978 as a dental nurse in Malvern Worcestershire after returning from living in Germany for 6 years. I settled in Portsmouth in 1987 and I have two marvels sons.

I have been working at the Specialist Endodontic Centre since 2000 becoming a Senior Endodontic Nurse. At our practice we work as a team and mainly focus on the well-being of our patients.
