Dr Matthew James Bell,
BDS

Dr Matthew Bell holds a Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) from the UK and has completed a Diploma in Prosthodontics. His background in dental technology gives him a unique advantage in the “hand-crafted” aspect of dentistry, allowing him to visualize the final result of crowns and bridges with the precision of a technician.

Matthew is particularly passionate about helping anxious patients. His approach is shaped by a personal experience: he successfully coached his own mother from having a severe dental phobia to becoming a regular, confident patient. He uses this same patience and a “tell-show-do” communication style to help nervous visitors feel in control of their treatment.

Clinically, Matthew focuses on adhesive dentistry (minimally invasive bonding) and functional restoration. He prioritises patient education, finding the most satisfaction in seeing patients improve their own oral hygiene routines between visits.

Outside of the clinic, Matthew is an avid fan of Formula 1 and enjoys cycling, baking, and cooking.

This approach works well if you:

• Have dental anxiety and need a supportive presence

• Want to be treated as a person, not just a set of teeth
• Feel reassured by kindness, patience, and a friendly face
