Dr James Dodd
Dentist

Wanting to work closer to home and wishing to embrace fresh challenges, James joined the One Smile team in 2021.

Special Interests
In 2012, James completed a postgraduate diploma in root canal treatment at the Eastman Dental Institute and manages our in-house referrals for complex root canal treatment.
James is committed to advancing his skills and depth of knowledge and is in the process of completing a further postgraduate programme at the Eastman in Restorative Dentistry, with a view of staying on for a third qualification in Implant Dentistry. He has a strong interest in being able to provide holistic all round care and is happy to take on more complex cases.
One of the reasons James joined One Smile is he is passionate about using laser technology. The Epic X and waterlase are some of the most advanced and powerful lasers in dentistry at present that can be used to enhance treatment outcomes and patient comfort.
