  I had an appointment with Katrina. I’m not the bravest person and Katrina completely understands my dental phobia. Great clean and advice.

  Duncan Hamilton looked after my elderly mother with care and professionalism. She needed her denture plate mending without which she was struggling to eat. He knew exactly what to do and had it fixed in two days. The improvement for mother is significant and the price was very reasonable. Thank you

  I had broken a tooth and after calling was given an appointment 2 hours later.  My usual dentist wasn’t in but I was given an appointment with Dan.  He was amazing and talked me through what he was doing as I’m very nervous of going to the dentist! Thank you

  I have been a patient of Heathcote for many years and have every confidence and trust in my dentist ,Mike Hunter and my hygienist Rebekah. Mr Hunter is very professional, .friendly and caring and skilful and gentle in his treatments. He explains everything he is doing and is always willing to answer any questions. Similarly Rebekah  is also very caring, skilled and friendly. She explains everything she is doing and why and gives good advice on looking after my teeth. It is so important to have this good, trusting relationship with professionals who are looking after you and make you feel at ease. All the staff working at Heathcote  are friendly and efficient. I would have every confidence in recommending the practice to anyone.

Our Team.

David Nott BDS (Hons) Newcastle.

GDC No. 64357
I studied Dentistry in Newcastle and qualified in 1989 with honours. I have since worked in some wonderful Dental Practices in Sussex.

I have two teenage children, Joshua and Grace, who hope to study Medicine and Law, respectively. My identical twin sisters are also both Dentists, too!

When not working, I enjoy motorsports, working on classic cars and attending Goodwood and the Le Mans Classic. I am currently rebuilding a Triumph Stag and have re-shelled an MGB! I also enjoy spending time outside, paddle boarding, kayaking, mountain biking and fishing. I love gardening and enjoy growing anything unusual, from cuttings and seeds.

I love treating patients and volunteer regularly for the dental charity ‘DentAid’. I am passionate about all aspects of dentistry.

Ben Wood BDS (RCS Eng).

GDC No. 74967
Ben Wood qualified from Guy’s Hospital in 1998 and joined Heathcote House that year for what was the start of six very happy years. He considers himself very lucky to have cared for an extremely nice group of patients during that time. Then in 2004 he took the opportunity to take over his parent’s practice in Brighton as the principle dentist, with his successor at Heathcote being Thomas Dehlsen.

Ben has had the pleasure and responsibility of being a vocational/foundation dental trainer for ten years. He also went back to studying and sat the MJDF examination at the Royal College of Surgeons and completed a certificate in Endodontics (root canal treatment) at the University of Warwick.

Ben and his partner Hannah, who is a GP in Lewes, have three children; two girls and a boy ranging from 22 months to 10 years of age. He manages the occasional game of football but enjoys beginner’s hockey with Hannah too! He enjoys the benefits of living in the South Downs and would love to find more time for gardening and chair making.

Daniel Chok Tourle BDS(Hons), BA(Oxon), MFDS RCS(Eng), MCGDent, MBPsS.

GDC No. 193150
Dan graduated in 2010 from the Guy’s, King’s and St Thomas’ Dental Institute in London, and spent his early years in dentistry under the warm paternal wing of our very own super dentist, Dr Ben Wood. He also spent a year working with the maxillofacial surgery team in East Grinstead, and has since been practising dentistry with a special interest in aesthetics at various locations in Sussex.

Having previously also graduated in Psychology, Dan understands how difficult it can be to struggle with a fear of the dentist. Calm, friendly and gentle, he has a lot of experience putting nervous patients at ease and delivering excellent patient care.

Dan is super excited about joining the team here at Heathcote House and is looking forward to welcoming you all, new and existing patients alike. When he’s not bleating on about teeth, he enjoys reminiscing about travelling abroad, cooking world cuisine, photography, Formula 1 and films.
