Ian Gordon

BDS N’cle 1984 MFGDP 2002 GDC No. 58968

Ian Gordon was born in Stokesley moving only when he gained a place at Newcastle Dental School from where he qualified in 1984. He returned to North Yorkshire before starting his own practice, The Dental Centre, in Eaglescliffe in 1989.

Ian expanded that NHS practice group to include practices in Middlesbrough, Martonside and Guisborough before leaving to establish Vitality with his wife Jayne in 2008 whilst at the same time establishing Alpha Dental Group.

Ian has been involved in Dental Politics and Vocational Training throughout his 35-year career – he is currently Chair of the North Yorkshire and Yorkshire regional Local Dental Committees and was previously Chair of the Tees LDC. Ian retains a clinical commitment on Tuesdays providing a wide range of dental treatment – he still particularly enjoys Endodontic treatment and provides Invisalign (clear braces) treatment at the practice.

Developing Vitality has been challenging but very rewarding and has resulted in the established 3 surgery practice we see today which offers routine care as well as advanced care from visiting implant dentists.

Ian has been delighted that so many colleagues have joined him at Vitality sharing the clinical treatment and therefore allowing Ian time to fulfil his other role as a Managing Director in the wider Alpha Vitality Group as well as providing dento-legal advice to one of the Dental indemnity companies. Alpha Vitality Dental Group which Ian established with 4 other partners in 2008 and now operates 12 practices from York to Chester Le Street. They have recently joined with Riverdale Healthcare, of which Ian is a Director, to expand the portfolio of practices in the North East and North Yorkshire.

Outside of work Ian lives in Osmotherley with his wife Jayne they have 3 older children. Leisure time usually involves travelling, meeting and entertaining friends and colleagues – Ian and Jayne have recently taken on a house renovation in Windermere and hope to establish the property as a holiday rental and retreat for themselves.

Haytham Abbas

Dentist/Clinical Director

With over 10-years Implantology experience behind him, Haytham provides sedation and implant treatments, providing patients with the option of being relaxed and comfortable through their implant journey. He finds treating anxious patients very rewarding, and his experience with sedation means he can provide quality care for patients who would otherwise be too nervous to have treatment.

His experience with implants has led him to carry out a wide variety of treatments, from straight forward single tooth implants to complex full arch cases. The joy on his patients’ faces when they return having been able to be confident in smiling or going out for meals is what he strives to achieve for every patient.

Nigel Suggett

BDS GDC No. 103408

Nigel, studied at Sheffield University, graduated in 2006. He has a keen interest in cosmetic dentistry from early on led him to attend the Tipton Training Academy where he won an award on the Advanced Restoration course. Since 2013 he has been involved with treating patients undergoing dental implant procedures.

Nigel works closely with Ross Chapman of Chapman Dental Solutions to provide implant and fixed bridge solutions, all delivered in a single surgery in one day. Dr Suggett’s wife Barbara is also a dentist. She works in the Community Dental Service treating patients who have special needs, are medically compromised or phobic.

Together they have two children, Phoebe and Lucy, and a cat called Milo. In his free time, Nigel enjoys playing golf and football and is a keen runner.Away from Seaham Smiles, Dr Suggett is also an assistant lecturer for the Northern Deanery.He also runs introduction events and mentorship for dentists new to using implants.

Ben Smith

BDS, MFDS (RCS Edin 2003) DipConSed, Implant (Warwick, Cert.) GDC No.79433

“Gentle” Ben Smith qualified in 2001, going on to acquire additional valuable postgraduate skills and experience through hospital and general practice training. During this time period, he developed an interest in helping people with anxieties and phobias related to their dental care, completed his core training in conscious sedation techniques and also gained his MFDS qualification at RCS Edinburgh in 2003.

Ben has worked in General practice and has become involved in research and in carrying out dental treatment on thousands of highly anxious patients using both his gentle manner and further honing his skills in conscious sedation techniques. Ben gained the Diploma in Conscious Sedation from the University of Newcastle upon Tyne in 2007 and has gone on to provide mentorship, teaching and training to both newly qualified dentists, general dental practitioners and also experienced dental sedationists.

Ben’s ambition has always been to provide the highest level of all-round dental care for every patient – especially those with dental fears. He finds great personal satisfaction in taking the time to enable patients to overcome the barriers to their dental care and transform them from “a quivering wreck” to a confident patient, in control of their own dental health. Having the experienced hands and skills within the team to offer any necessary treatment puts our patients at the centre of their dental care and allows us to look after them as if they were a member of our own family.

Outside of work Ben loves to spend time at home in North Yorkshire or out and about in the Lake District with his wife and two young daughters – looking after their chickens and the family’s nutty boxer dog. He has also been known to appear on stage and to sing and play the guitar – badly!

Stoycho Stoychev

BDS, GDC No.245420

Stoycho graduated from Medical University Plovdiv, Bulgaria in 2007. Early in his career he worked in a general dental practice gaining experience in a wide variety of dental treatments. After several years, Stoycho took on an internship in Maxillo-facial department of St. Anna Hospital in city of Varna, Bulgaria, expanding his knowledge and expertise.

Since moving over with his family in 2013, and making the UK his home, he has developed a keen interest in orthodontics, corresponding to the ever so increasing demand for aesthetic and cosmetic dentistry.

Stoycho completed the Advanced Orthodontic Program of IAS under the teachings of Prof. Ross Hobson, and is currently aiming to obtain his MSc in Orthodontics.

Away from the dental practice, Stoycho is a family man who likes to spend quality time travelling.

Andrew Pepperday

BDS MJDF Dentist GDC No. 81819

Originally from Northallerton, Andrew qualified with his BDS degree at the University of Newcastle Upon Tyne in 2003. He then worked as a dentist in South Shields for 10 years, during which time he devoted a lot of time to training newly-qualified graduates to work in general dental practice. He also spent 2 years working a session a week at Newcastle Dental Hospital, training undergraduate students on the restorative dental clinic.

In 2012, Andrew and his wife Anna had a daughter and this initiated a move back to North Yorkshire to be closer to family. Andrew worked at Alpha Dental in Thirsk (which subsequently became Star Dental Care) for 4 years before then starting a role at Park Avenue Dental Practice, in Redcar, where he remains an associate for 3 and a half days a week.

In 2008, he gained the MJDF Diploma from the Royal College of Surgeons, England and in 2017 he was awarded the Diploma in Restorative Dentistry, also from the Royal College of Surgeons, England.

Recently he has attended further courses enabling him to focus more on providing cosmetic treatments, such as simple Invisalign® orthodontics and composite bonding, both of which are becoming very popular and are areas which he is keen to develop further.

Away from dentistry Andrew enjoys spending time with family and friends. He is also a keen runner and other hobbies include playing the saxophone and snooker.

Donna Sharp

Dental Therapist GDC No.165040

Donna graduated from Teesside University as a dental hygiene therapist in 2013 with a BSc honours degree. She joined the Vitality team in 2016 and has since completed many additional courses to further develop her skills and knowledge, including inhalation sedation and implant maintenance.

As a hygiene therapist Donna can carry out hygiene maintenance, periodontal treatment, fillings in children and adults as well as extractions of children’s teeth. Donna also sees patients on a direct access basis for hygiene treatments, meaning you can book in with her directly without needing to see a dentist first.

In her spare time Donna likes to go walking with her husband and two young children. Her favourite place to walk is Osmotherley cod beck!! Her wind down on a Friday evening after a busy day at work is a nice glass of fizz.

‘I love every aspect of my role as a dental therapist but especially helping anxious patients overcome their anxieties and achieve their oral health goals. There is no better feeling than seeing patients return and they have taken on board information I have gave which has resulted in improvement in their oral health’.
