Sophie Harrison

Dental Nurse | Receptionist

Certificate of Higher Education in Dental Nursing (Teesside University 2014) GDC Number: 256111

Sophie Harrison qualified as a dental nurse in 2014 and brings over a decade of experience to her role. She joined Marton Dental Practice in 2024 and has quickly become a highly valued member of the team.

Sophie works both in surgery as a dental nurse and on reception, giving her a great overview of the whole patient journey—from the first phone call to the final review appointment. Patients often meet her at the front desk and then see her again chairside, which adds a reassuring sense of continuity.

She has a particular interest in cosmetic dentistry and especially enjoys assisting with composite veneer treatments—so much so that she was inspired to have her own done. This first-hand experience means she understands exactly what patients are going through and can offer extra reassurance and insight during their smile makeover journeys.

Outside the Practice

Outside of work, Sophie enjoys spending quality time with her 8-year-old son, Thomas, and their two cats, Pepper and Percy. She also loves walking, reading, and socialising with friends. Her caring nature and down-to-earth personality make her easy to talk to and a reassuring presence for patients in the chair and at reception.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How often should I get a check-up?

At Marton Dental Practice, regular dental check-ups are essential for maintaining good oral health. While the exact frequency may vary depending on individual needs, routine dentist and hygienist visits are part of your preventive armour against dental infections and gum disease. For most people, check-ups are recommended every 6 months, though patients at higher risk may be advised to come in more frequently.

Why are my teeth sensitive?

Tooth sensitivity can be caused by several factors, including:

  • Dental infections or decay reaching the inner layers of the tooth.
  • Gum recession exposing the tooth’s dentine (a weaker layer than enamel).
  • Cracked or chipped teeth.
  • Worn fillings or enamel erosion.

If you’re experiencing sensitivity, it could also be a sign of underlying gum disease or the early stages of a dental infection that may require attention, such as a root canal treatment if left untreated.

How do I whiten my teeth?

Marton Dental Practice offers professional at-home teeth whitening using White Dental Beauty products. This treatment involves:

  • Custom-made whitening trays based on 3D digital scans.
  • Dentist-supervised application of a safe, vegan-friendly whitening gel.
  • Wear time as short as 30 minutes per day.

The process is non-invasive, gentle on sensitive teeth, and results can last for years with good maintenance.

Why are my gums bleeding?

Bleeding gums are often a sign of gum disease, caused by the build-up of plaque and tartar. If left untreated, this can progress to serious gum damage, tooth loss, and even systemic health issues like cardiovascular disease.

Marton Dental’s hygienists offer:

  • Scale and polish treatments to remove plaque.
  • Deep cleaning below the gumline to close gum pockets.
  • Tailored advice for ongoing gum maintenance.

Early treatment can reverse gum disease and prevent more invasive procedures later.
