The Team

As a husband and wife team we own and run Braden Dental Care as a family. We see our patients, staff, suppliers and peers as an extension of that family. Let us introduce ourselves…

Our History

We are Jim and Helen Braden. We started Braden Dental Care in 2003 with a vision for providing Quality Dental Care to the local area and beyond. We have worked hard to improve the business, stabilise the staff base and have implemented a programme of constant reinvestment.

Jim and Helen Braden

Jim Braden and Helen Braden both work as principal dentists in the practice. They have a clear vision, focused with a strong emphasis on customer service and excellent clinical care.

Dental Nurse Team

Michelle, Laura, Kara, Gemma and Laura also know our patients well and are actively encouraged to interact with them. They are always introduced to new patient by name. The dental nurses are friends with each other as well as colleagues and as such work in harmony to help each other keep things running smoothly.
