Our Commitment To You

We aim to look after all our patients in the way we provide for our own family and friends – we trust you will find us friendly, helpful and supportive.

We are an experienced, established and highly qualified team using modern equipment, materials and techniques in a clean, well-maintained and friendly environment.

Ian and Carrie Preston took over Shipston Dental Practice in 1996 and put systems in place to ensure we can provide the best care for our patients within a modern facility. Over the years many thousands of pounds have been re-invested into the development of the facility and team, including training from some of the world’s best clinicians.  In 2022 we were joined by Envisage Dental who continue behind the scenes to support Ian, Carrie and the whole team.

Our clinicians have an on-going commitment to postgraduate education, leading to post-graduate qualifications and ensuring knowledge and skills are maintained up to date. Ian Preston until recently has been a part-time clinical lecturer at Birmingham Dental Hospital and School and he has for many years taught advanced techniques to qualified dentists at London’s world renowned Eastman Dental Institute. Carrie Preston held a clinical assistant post in Orthodontics for over 20 years, working with the consultants at Cheltenham General Hospital and completed 12 months working part time under the consultants on the Paediatric Department at Birmingham Dental Hospital.

As part of our on going commitment to service development and education the practice dentists have undertaken substantial additional postgraduate studies. Ian has undertaken the Eastman Dental Institute’s Certificate in Surgical and Prosthetic Implant Dentistry and holds a Masters Degree in Restorative Dentistry. Also at London’s Eastman Institute Carrie completed the year long course to achieve the UCL Certificate in Paediatric Dentistry. Stephanie was awarded the Diploma of Membership of the Faculty of Dental Surgery from the Royal College of Surgeons and in 2017 she gained a further Postgraduate Certificate in Contemporary Restorative and Aesthetic Dentistry. This investment will ensure Shipston Dental Practice can continue to offer you and your family the highest levels of care modern dentistry can provide. Kathryn graduated from the University of Sheffield in 2018. She completed the MFDS examinations with the Royal College of Surgeons in 2019 whilst working in a busy Oral and Maxillofacial department. She is currently undertaking a 2-year diploma in Advanced Restorative and Aesthetic Dentistry and Endodontics.
