Meet the Team

Hi, I am the Principal Dental Surgeon and Owner of Bosden Farm 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 Dentist). 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 Bosden Farm Dental, 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 Bosden Farm Dental and I know my team share my vision!

Come and see what we can do for your smile confidence and dental health!

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 re-contouring of your gums, mucogingvial surgery. I treat ‘Gummy smile’ cases, ‘gum recession’ problems and I also place dental implants.

The team at Bosden Farm are very supportive and will help you at every stage of your Specialist treatment. Bosden Farm and our sister practice Holly House, really are 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 the London Marathon and Tough Mudder!

Hi! I’m Claire. I have been a part of the Bosden Farm team since 2014, when Dr Hussain became owner of the Practice. I have been assisting Dr Hussain with the development of our practice. I am the operations manager 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 in advanced Prosthetic (Implants, Bridges, Dentures), Cosmetic (Crowns, Veneers, White fillings) and Invisalign Orthodontic Treatments.

I am also a patient at the practice and am undergoing a course of Invisalign treatment (invisible brace aligners). I am going to be blogging about this, so watch out!

Hi, I’m Dr Chris Lakin. I grew up in Lytham St. Annes. I graduated from Sheffield University in 2009. Early in my career I did some dental aid work in Tonga, which was very rewarding. I have worked in general practice for several years, starting in Teignmouth, South Devon, before moving back to the North West.

I have been at Bosden Farm Dental Practice for several years now and have a wonderful base of patients. I enjoys working with kids and have a particular interest in trying to save and restore teeth with root canal treatments. I am also an ‘Educational Supervisor’, for newly qualified Dentists, a role which I thoroughly enjoy. It allows me to help develop our newly qualified colleagues and also keeps me up to date with the latest advances in the profession.

I live locally with my family. I enjoy spending free time with the family, or trying to tame the garden, or playing golf or maybe even out in the peaks on my bike!

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!

Hi, I’m Charlotte. 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!

Hi! I’m Chloe. I am the newest member of the team. I am a dental nurse apprentice at Bosden Farm Dental Practice. I have quickly adapted to the role and enjoy my chosen career, even more than I had imagined!

The ‘Bosden Farm Family’ have taken me under their wing and I am finding dental nursing fascinating and challenging and the absolute right career for me! I am a cheerful, happy person and can make our patients feel at ease, coming to see us doesn’t have to be a worry!

We provide a selection of treatments at Bosden Farm Dental and this can range from general dentistry, all the way up to specialist, advanced care. There is so much available to improve your smile, and we are all here to help guide you towards the best options for you.

I work with Dr lakin, or the hygienist, or even sometimes you may see me smiling at reception! Hope to see you soon!
