Dr Laura Hunter-Shaw

Laura graduated from the University of Sheffield in 2019, then completed her foundation training at the Maltings and has worked with us ever since.

She enjoys treating a wide range of patients and taking a holistic approach to improving a patient’s overall oral health in order to make a huge difference to them as a person. After trauma as a child, Laura knows first hand how being self conscious about your smile impacts your whole life and so is passionate about helping patients be able to talk, smile and eat with confidence.

Laura’s special interest is in dentally anxious and phobic patients and she particularly enjoys taking the time to get to know patients and taking the fear out of dentistry, to make her patient’s feel at ease during appointments in order to carry out treatment in a relaxed environment. Over the years, she has helped many people overcome their fears to be able to accept treatment.

Laura has been trained in sedation services and can offer both Inhalation Sedation or Intravenous Sedation if needed, but going forwards, she prefers to build a relationship of trust with her patients so that hopefully one day they can have the confidence to come and visit the dentist worry free!

Outside of work, Laura is usually busy renovating her house and entertaining her baby boy!
