ABOUT US
We love teeth!
We have a small, friendly team at Shakespeare Street who will do their best to make you feel comfortable and relaxed when you visit us.
Although most of our patients are local to Newcastle Upon Tyne we have an increasing number from London and the south east of England (as well as Canada and Australia).
Several of our private patients came to us after considering and rejecting treatment options in eastern Europe.
As you will see from our location, we are easily accessible by train and plane. Please contact us if you would like details of hotels nearby.
Sara Goodman BDS is the principal dentist at Shakespeare Street Dental Practice. She qualified at Newcastle Dental School in 1991 and went straight into general practice.
After gaining experience as an associate, Sara took over Shakespeare Street Dental Practice in 2003. In addition to her annual commitment to Continuing Professional Development (CPD) Sara undertakes regular additional training and is qualified to restore dental implants. Most recently Sara has qualified to undertake tooth re-alignment using Inman Aligner
