Meet the Team

I am the Principal Dental Surgeon and Owner of Holly House Dental Practice.

Welcome!

I Graduated as a Dental Surgeon with several awards, including best dental student of the year, from the University of Manchester. I have completed further qualifications, including MFGDP(UK), Dip Rest Dent RCS Eng and gained a Masters Degree in Restorative Dentistry. I have taught at the University of Manchester, my students included my sister and brother-in-law (who now have a practice of their own) and my brother (now a Specialist Periodontist). I have been an Educational Supervisor for several newly qualified dentists, supporting them and relaying my experience in easing them into practice life. I enjoy my work and my enthusiasm reflects in my practice.

New patients are often surprised at how stress-free their dental check has been, our existing patient of course already know this! It’s always a pleasure to catch-up with my patients as well as reassuring them about their dental health.

I want to improve the dental health of my patients’, I reinforce the importance of regular dental care. I also make my patients aware of the advances in our profession and the ways in which this may benefit them. I have a clinical team of caring individuals, who share a highly ethical, professional and responsible attitude to their work and I am confident in referring my patients to them for Advanced or Specialist care. It’s great that we can offer so many options to our patients.

I have really enjoyed developing Holly House, into the Fantastic Dental Practice and the fantastic Dental Team we have today! I want to keep improving our patients’ experience of their time at Holly House and I know my team share my vision!

Hi, I’m Dr Khurrum Hussain. I completed my Specialist training in Periodontology at the World-renowned Eastman Dental Institute, University College London (UCL). I am registered on the GDC’s Specialist list for Periodontics and also with the European Federation of Periodontics (EFP).

I have worked in Specialist practices limited to Periodontics for several years. I am a Clinical Teacher at undergraduate and postgraduate level at the University of Manchester Dental Hospital.

My ethos is to treat patients with periodontal challenges. I aim to educate and motivate patients about this condition and I have excellent results with my periodontal care, and also in the management of PERI-IMPLANT disease.

Many of my patients have severe gum disease, or failing implants, and are finding it difficult to manage their condition. I help them to make difficult decisions about the prognosis of their teeth or implants and help them to overcome their anxieties. I provide solutions resulting in health and combat the progression of disease.

I also provide cosmetic gum surgeries to assist with restorative work that may require recontouring of your gums, mucogingvial surgery

The team at Holly House are very supportive and will help you at every stage of your Specialist treatment. Holly House, really is at the cutting edge, as I also accept patients here, for Specialist Periodontal Treatment, from other local practices.

Outside of work, I have been known to complete physical challenges such as London Marathon and Tough Mudder!

Hi! I’m Claire. I have been a part of the Holly House team since 2014, when Dr Hussain became owner of Bosden Farm Dental Practice, in Offerton, our sister practice. I have been assisting Dr Hussain with the development of both sites. I am lead dental nurse and provide training to our dental nurses and ensure the efficient and safe delivery of care to our patients. This also involves paperwork and policies!

I have been working closely with Our Specialist Periodontist, Dr Khurrum Hussain, and we have become a centre for outside referrals from other practices in the area, when they require their patients to have Specialist Gum Disease Treatments. I am also now coordinating treatments for Dr Junaid Malik, who provides advanced Prosthetic (Implants, Bridges, Dentures), Cosmetic (Crowns, Veneers, White fillings) and Invisalign Orthodontic Treatments.

I am going to be starting a course of Invisalign treatment (invisible brace aligners). I am going to be blogging about this, so watch out!

Dr Robin Amanullah qualified in 2002 from King’s College London (KCL) Dental Institute. In 2011, his continued pursuit for clinical excellence led him to being accepted onto the UK’s most prestigious clinical master’s programme in advanced fixed, removable, and implant prosthodontics at the world renowned Eastman Dental Institute, University College London (UCL). Upon completing this full time training with distinction, he went onto achieve a second Membership in restorative dentistry, with the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh in 2014. This completed his training pathway leading to recognition by the London Deanery and General Dental Council as a registered Specialist in Prosthodontics.

He is involved in the training of future specialists and consultants. His teaching is not limited to UCL, but also to KCL. He was awarded the College honour of Innovation in Teaching, and Clinical Teacher of the year 2015/16. Furthermore he is due to become a Fellow of the Higher Education Authority as an on-going commitment to teaching and academia.

Hi my name is Lisa Preston. You may see me at reception, welcoming you to Bosden Farm Dental, or you may see me assisting the dentist in the surgery, I am multi-talented! I have been a dental nurse/receptionist for many years, and have worked in several different dental practices over that time. Interestingly, my dental nurse story actually began at our sister practice, Holly House Dental, as a trainee nurse! It was lovely to come full circle and be a part of such an amazing team!

I maybe the first person you see at the practice, as my role at Bosden Farm Dental Practice is to make sure you have a very nice start to your patient journey with us, I am the receptionist. I will also be the familiar smile that meets you at the end, to arrange your next visit to us! Don’t worry, everyone you will see in the middle is also very nice!
