Ellie Dunlop began her dental career as a trainee dental nurse in 2017 and joined Marton Dental Practice in 2020. Since then, she has become a valued member of the clinical team, known for her calm, friendly manner and the way she helps patients feel at ease in the surgery.
Ellie is currently furthering her experience by studying Dental Hygiene and Therapy at Teesside University, demonstrating a real commitment to expanding her skills and delivering exceptional patient care. This additional training will allow her to take on an even more active role in helping patients maintain healthy gums, prevent dental problems, and look after their smiles long term.
Her combination of hands-on nursing experience and ongoing university training means she brings both practical know-how and up-to-date clinical knowledge to the care she provides every day.
Outside of dentistry, Ellie is a talented artist, known for her beautifully handcrafted animal sketches. When she’s not creating artwork, she and her fiancé love staying active and exploring the outdoors with their two energetic cocker spaniels.
Ellie’s blend of creativity, dedication, and a genuinely kind nature makes her a real asset to the Marton Dental team—and a reassuring presence for patients in the chair.
