Meet the Team
We aim to educate our patients in a safe environment while offering them necessary comprehensive care. We understand that many people have anxiety about dental treatment, so we created a soothing, relaxed yet professional environment
Elsie TurnerTrainee Oral Health Practitioner/Dental NurseHi, I’m Elsie dedicated dental nurse with over a decade of experience who loves periodontal care and oral hygiene. I’m passionate about helping people achieve healthier, cleaner smiles and take pride in making each patient feel at ease during their visit. Outside of work, I’m a proud parent to an energetic 8-year-old son who keeps life fun and full of surprises. I’m also an animal lover through and through—you’ll often find me surrounded by pets or enjoying time in nature, I’m also an avid learner of aerial hoop so if I wasn’t working at Quay Dental I would have ran away to join the circus.GDC: 257128
Aleisha SteeleLead Dental NurseI’m the lead dental nurse at Quay Dental, I help to support our fabulous nursing team, look after our lovely patients in the surgery and work with our wonderful clinicians during my time chair side. I love to support our patients on their dental journey and I’m incredibly grateful to be able to support our more nervous patients during their time in the dental chair and help to ease their anxiety together. I also help to train our lovely trainee dental nurses at the start of their nursing career which is incredibly rewarding. When I’m not at our awesome practice, I’m normally off galavanting on my solo adventures, being a bookworm or doing something creative! I also love film, TV and the theatre so I am always up for discussions or recommendations!GDC: 273374
Madison BayleyTrainee Dental NurseI am a Trainee Nurse at Quay dental, I absolutely love being part of the team helping people feel confident with their smiles.
I am passionate about learning new skills and keeping Natalie on time!
Outside of work, I am a total summer girl, always in the sea and I thrive off a great tan!! If you ever hear country music playing in the background, it is definitely me in charge of the tunesðŸ¤
You’ll often hear me called Madge – mostly because I tend to think I’m in trouble when Nat calls her dog Maddie. While we share the same energy, I don’t actually bark!
Summer SherringTrainee Dental NurseI’m Summer and I am one of the Trainee Dental Nurses at the best practice in town: Quay Dental. I am probably most known for being able to control Nat’s ‘toddler brain’ (ADHD) and keeping her on time. However best known by patients for nagging them on a Friday afternoon to confirm their appointments on Monday. (Sorry) I love all our patients and strive to make them feel comfortable and relaxed in an environment that stereotypically is a ‘horrible place’. When i’m not working at the practice you will probably find me at a Club with a Pinot Grigio in hand sounding like a cat being strangled when ‘show me love’ by Robin S comes on!
Rachel Jones Treatment Coordinator/Head ReceptionistI’m Quay Dental’s resident multitasker, Treatment Coordinator, and Head Receptionist (yes, I wear all the hats). I’m here to make sure your journey with us is smooth, friendly, and full of smiles – hopefully ones you love even more when you leave!
What do I love most about my job? Easy – the people. Quay Dental isn’t just where I work, it’s my second family (and sometimes it feels like my first, let’s be honest).
When I’m not busy running the front desk like a boss, I’m running around after my little mini me – mum life never stops!
Fun fact: My jawbone is actually made from my hip bone. Yep, you read that right!

James LakeManaging DirectorI’m James Lake, Managing Director of the practice — and the one tasked with keeping Natalie (mostly) in check. I focus on the growth and smooth running of the business, supporting both the team and our patients to make sure everything behind the scenes (and occasionally out front) stays on track. I step in when needed to help manage the more challenging moments — whether that’s with keeping patients happy or keeping our brilliant team supported and stress-free.
Before joining Quay Dental, I served in the Royal Marines — an experience that shaped my approach to leadership, teamwork, and staying calm under pressure. These days, alongside my role at the practice, I also run a small farm, which brings its own set of daily adventures (and early mornings).
Outside of work, you’ll usually find me chasing after our two young kids (or some sheep), watching, playing, or listening to rugby (often simultaneously), and attempting to drink a coffee before it goes cold.
