About Us

Rajitha has been practicing dentistry since 2000. She spent five years working in Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, where she gained extensive experience in complex procedures including wisdom tooth removal, biopsies, extraction of impacted teeth and roots, and the management of facial and non-dental pain, including temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders. She also assisted in the care of patients with oral, head and neck cancers.

For the past 16 years, Rajitha has been working in general dental practice, providing a wide range of treatments including fillings, root canal therapy, teeth whitening, crowns, and both partial and full dentures. She has a calm, gentle approach and is particularly experienced in caring for anxious and phobic patients.

Hi, my name is Andy. I graduated from Newcastle University in 2019. After my vocational training in Northern Ireland, I did a year in maxillofacial surgery in Southampton which sparked my interest in oral surgery.
I am deeply invested in patients having the best experience they can have and find that utilising sedation helps patients through this journey. My aim is for you to be as comfortable as possible whilst having a good experience at the dentist. Other than oral surgery I find general dentistry rewarding by maintaining patients’ oral health whilst optimising their smiles through aesthetics, implants and ceramics. I have been providing this care throughout Edinburgh and Lothians for the last three years and have settled here with my partner.
We love being able to disappear from city life into the hills and wonder along Munros. So far, I’ve done one… I enjoy a range of sports on the weekend, particularly hockey and squash. I am an avid supporter of the rugby six nations and hope to get some tickets one day!

Iris is a dentist with an international background in Spain and the UK. She enjoys all aspects of general dentistry, with a particular interest in minimally invasive and aesthetic treatments. She believes dentistry should not only focus on treating problems, but also on creating a calm and supportive environment where patients feel at ease, while enhancing their smile in a natural and harmonious way.

I’m Hannah. I graduated from Dundee University as a Dental Therapist. This means I can carry out exams, fillings as well as carrying out hygiene appointments. I love my job and getting to know all my patients to make sure their appointments are as comfortable as possible!

Outside of work I love running and going to the gym as well as spending time with my friends and family.

I qualified as a dental nurse in 2008, after completing a 2 year national qualification at Dundee Dental Hospital. Since then I have worked in 3 dental practices including Oris Dental & Implant Studio, part of Pain Free Dentistry where I have progressed from front of house to senior dental nurse and dental implant treatment coordinator to now practice manager. I love my job and my fantastic team. In my spare time I like to go to the gym, go on walks, and spend time with my friends and family.

Nikki has been with the practice since 2019 and started as a Trainee Dental Nurse. Since qualifying in 2020, Nikki has progressed on to assisting in more advanced treatment such as Root Canal Treatment and Dental Implants. In Nikki’s spare time, she likes to attend the gym regularly, seeing her friends and spending time with her 3 daughters. Nikki also enjoys reading, swimming and cooking.

My name is Caitlin and I’m so happy to join the team at Oris Dental & Implant Studio as a Treatment Co-Ordinator.

I previously worked in the hospitality sector, where I discovered how much I love working with people and helping them feel comfortable and cared for. I’m really excited to bring those skills into the dental field and continue learning in my new role. I  genuinely enjoy getting to know people and  supporting patients on their journey to achieving their dream smile.

When I’m not at work, I love spending quality time with friends and family as well as travelling to new places with my partner. I’m always looking forward to our next adventure. 

Before joining Oris as a Trainee Dental Nurse, I was a professional chef. I have always had a strong interest in Dentistry, so I decided to have a change of career. I have been working at Oris for 3 years now – I really enjoy working with people and helping them improve their oral health. My favourite part about my job is full mouth restorations to see the patients reactions with the before and after results. My hobbies outside of work include going on trips with my husband and son. I enjoy going for walks and being outdoors, I particularly enjoy cold water swimming. I also love spending quality time with my friends and family.

I’m Isla, I started as a Trainee Dental Nurse in September 2024 at my previous practice. I started at Oris in April 2025 and hope to qualify at the end of the year. After receiving orthodontist treatment I considered a career in a dental practice.

Outside of work I enjoy seeing my family and friends.

Hi I’m Ellie, I recently joined the team at Oris Dental & Implant Studio as a Trainee Dental Nurse. I have always found myself in roles where caring and supporting people has been important so dental nursing has always been an interest of mine.

Outside of work I spend my time at the gym or with family and friends. I love travelling and making memories whenever I have the chance.

Hi I am Sarah, I recently joined Oris as a Trainee Dental Nurse. I am enjoying learning new skills with the Oris Team. I was previously in retail for almost 5 years, this is where I developed strong people skills.

Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my family and socialising with friends.

I’ve been with the company since November 2023, and I love being able to help people, especially when it comes to supporting nervous patients. My background as a spa therapist has given me a strong foundation in providing care and comfort, which I bring to my current role.

Outside of work, I’m a proud pet parent to Gulliver, my Senegal parrot whom I adopted four years ago. I also practice Nichiren Buddhism, which helps guide me in both my personal and professional life.

I have been working in my reception role since October 2025 and thoroughly enjoy being the first point of contact, creating a welcoming and positive experience for everyone who visits. I take pride in staying organised, supporting my team, and ensuring daily operations run smoothly. I thrive in busy environments and value building strong professional relationships through clear communication and a friendly, approachable manner.

Previously, I worked in retail at TK Maxx, where I developed strong customer service skills in a fast-paced setting. This experience strengthened my teamwork, confidence, and attention to detail, while reinforcing the importance of delivering excellent service.

Outside of work, I have a passion for beauty, love travelling and discovering new places, and enjoy cooking healthy meals for family and friends. 

I recently joined the Oris family as part of the Front of House team and have loved getting to know both the team and our patients. One of my favourite parts of the role is meeting new people and helping everyone feel welcome and comfortable when they visit.

I’ve always worked in customer service, from hospitality to my most recent role as part of the admin team at the University of Dundee, where I built on my communication and organisational skills.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with friends and family, travelling to new places, and going to concerts whenever I can.
