Lynn Wright
Practice Manager

Lynn Wright started in dentistry in 2007 as a receptionist whilst studying part time in the National Exam Board for Dental Nurses which she took and passed in November 2009 which is when she became a practice manager.

Although the role throws up many different challenges this is what she loves about her job, no two days are the same. Her main objective is to help her principal Aga, in delivering the patient centred care and treatment which is at the heart of the practice. I love the fact that in a world of “white Space” and “Key Performance Indicators” (Corporate speak) the most important person in this surgery is still our patient.

Josie Spittle
GDC No. 291481


I chose to study Oral Health Science as I realised from working within dentistry as an implant dental nurse and having worked closely with a specialist periodontist I wanted to be more hands-on with patients. I was intrigued about the science of dental diseases and being able to help people by educating and improving patient’s oral health. I graduated from the University of Essex in October 2023 with a Foundation Degree of Science in Oral Health.

Since graduating I joined Great Horkelsey Dental Studio in early 2024 initially as a locum but now as a permanent member of the clinical team I have really enjoyed getting to know and understand the challenges our patients face. I have a passion in providing a patient centred care and get so much pleasure in being part of their oral health improvement.

I am a dedicated qualified overseas dentist having completed a Bachelor of Dental Surgery at the Pushpagiri College, India between 2015 – 2021. I immigrated to the UK where I then took an Masters in Science in advanced General Dental Practice at Ulster University in 2021-2022. Since then I have been working as an associate dental therapist providing the full scope of practice treatments whilst studying for the Overseas Registration Exam passing the first part last year with the second and final part taking place over several days in April 2025 which when passed will allow me to work as a dentist.

I joined Great Horkesley Dental Studio in December 2024 as an associate dental therapist and have been building a loyal patient list ever since. I have a profound knowledge in general dentistry and feel passionate about providing the best care I can for my patients. I feel my personality suites those patients who may be nervous or anxious and children coming to the dentist for the first time.
