Your Dentists
Monika Redding (SWEDEN BDS) – GDC No: 71510
Monika is a Swedish dentist with Polish roots. She qualified at Karolinska University in Stockholm, and after a few years working for the Swedish NHS, she took the opportunity to expand her horizons, coming to England in 1996 with a group of friends to practise British dentistry. The plan was to stay for two or three years … but she met her future husband, and is still here with the added bonus of two sons fast approaching adulthood!
As a general dental practitioner Monika pursues an interest in most aspects of everyday dentistry. She takes a holistic (complete) and preventative approach to oral problems, and considers herself a family dentist: she enjoys treating both adults and children in a relaxed atmosphere where she tries to strike a balance between your treatment needs and your wishes.
Monika prefers to see dental care in terms of solutions rather than problems, so if you have a question, just ask her. She can offer help, provide information and advice whether you come to see her with toothache, abscess, bleeding gums, jaw ache, smile concerns, or dentures etc. If your concern is outside of her area of expertise both our dentists can draw on the resources of excellent colleagues in specialist practices. Monika is enthusiastic about continuing education and always make an effort to keep up with the latest advances in dentistry developing and challenging existing skills (and it’s also a good excuse to get some new gadgets).
When not looking after your teeth, Monika’s passions are reading and travelling. She also plays badminton for a local village club, and enjoy tennis and good skiing. She also enjoys furthering her knowledge of the English culture, which means getting to know all about Shakespeare, cricket, rugby, golf, etc.
Dr Sandra Bedford – GDC No: 185716
Sandra graduated in 1991 and ran her own private practice in Beirut for 12 years before marrying her husband, a British diplomat. She moved to the UK and started a family before returning to dentistry in 2010.
In parallel to working as a dentist, Sandra also completed a Master of Science in Restorative Dental Practice at The Eastman Institute, University College London, graduating with honours in 2015.
With anxious patients, Sandra has a calm and reassuring approach and always takes time to listen and explain. She adopts minimally invasive techniques when restoring teeth and has a holistic approach to oral health, helping to prevent dental disease.
Sandra speaks four languages, enjoys travelling and playing tennis.
