Cottage Dental Practice and Implant Clinic in Royal Wootton Bassett has a new owner and principal dentist.
Dr Aikusa Hacatrjana says she is looking forward to welcoming patients new and old to the practice.
With a renewed focus on health-based and prevention-led dentistry closely coupled with cosmetic treatments, she hopes to help her patients maintain a sparkling smile.
Aikusa, who is of Armenian heritage, qualified as a dentist in Latvia before heading to the UK in 2008, and has continued to build her expertise in that time.
She has retained the staff of three – practice manager Joanne Neil, receptionist Angela Wilson, and dental nurse Pushpa Ale – and has already taken on a new employee: trainee dental nurse Liberty Lee.
The team also boasts dental hygienist Natalie Stirland and Dr Hosam Elmanharawy, the previous owner of the business, who will continue to treat patients as the visiting oral surgeon.
Aikusa, who lives in Oxford, was instantly drawn to Royal Wootton Bassett when looking for a practice to buy.
"I liked the atmosphere of the town, which was welcoming and friendly," she said. "And I loved the practice and the team who work here."
The practice currently has two dental surgeries, but Aikusa intends to extend this to three as she takes on more patients and welcomes new dentists to join the surgery.
Aikusa is looking forward to offering a range of restorative and cosmetic services including teeth whitening, dental implants, and veneers. The practice also offers the world-renowned ‘Invisalign’ system, an alternative to braces that can straighten teeth without the traditional ‘train tracks.’
The new owner also plans to extend opening hours to meet the demands of busy patients, with evening and weekend appointments and promises to put convenience and accessibility to dentistry at the centre of her ethos.
Aikusa especially prides herself on helping nervous or anxious patients. "Each and every patient will be treated with sympathy and understanding, in a relaxed, happy and supportive environment," she said.
"My aim is that every patient leaves with a smile to be proud of."
Cottage Dental and Implant Clinic is open now, but will hold an Open Evening on Wednesday, 14 September from 6pm to 8pm to give new and existing customers an opportunity to see the facilities and meet the whole team.
