Reception
Melanie Williams- Lead Receptionist
My name is Melanie, and I have been a receptionist at White House Dental Practice for eighteen years.
Throughout my working life, I have held a variety of people focused roles, including working in a drawing office, customer services, and as a classroom assistant supporting visually impaired and blind children. During this time, I learnt Braille and successfully passed the RNIB Braille exam. My current role at White House Dental Practice is one I truly enjoy. I love meeting and chatting with our patients, building strong rapport, and helping to create a smooth, calm, and friendly environment alongside the rest of the dental team.
I am a very happy, positive person who genuinely enjoys talking to people. Outside of work, my hobbies include crafting, cooking, spinning at the gym, walking, and socialising with friends. I have recently joined the W.I., which I am really enjoying. I am also a proud grandmother to three gorgeous grandchildren.

Dental hygienist/ therapist
Ilinca Roman GDC - 328 695
I am a qualified Dental Hygienist and Therapist who graduated from the University of Portsmouth. I am passionate about helping patients understand the importance of maintaining good gum health and how it connects to overall wellbeing. As research in periodontology continues to grow, I believe it is increasingly important to educate patients on the wider impact that healthy gums can have on general health.
I particularly enjoy helping patients feel more confident about their smiles while creating a relaxed and positive environment during their visits. One of the most rewarding parts of my role is being able to share helpful advice and educate patients about aspects of their oral health they may not have been aware of. I also enjoy developing personalised oral hygiene routines that fit each patient’s lifestyle, enabling them to take better care of their teeth and gums at home.
Outside of work, I love travelling and exploring new cultures, as well as discovering new places and experiences. I am also passionate about dance and enjoy staying active. In my free time, I like to relax and spend quality time with family and friends.

Management
Katy Boone GDC- 159 759
My name is Katy, and I have been part of the White House Dental Practice team since 2018. I began my journey as a dental nurse and have since progressed into my current role as Practice Co-ordinator.
I qualified as a dental nurse in 2011. One of my favourite aspects of dentistry is supporting anxious patients, particularly children who are often afraid of the unknown. I have seen first hand how anxious children can overcome their fears and grow in confidence, which I find incredibly rewarding. I strongly believe that a friendly, calm, and reassuring chairside manner is essential for every patient we treat.
Outside of my role as Practice Co-ordinator, I enjoy spending time with my two young children, as well as family and friends. I also have a passion for motorsports and love watching and being involved in Formula 1.
