Windmill Dental Practice

Dentists

Dr. Andrew Whitehouse, M.G.D.S., B.D.S, [Lond.] L.D.S., R.C.S. (Eng.) [1984]

Andrew took over the running of Windmill Dental Practice in 2003. He studied dentistry at Guy's Hospital in London, qualifying as a Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) in December 1984. This is also where he met his wife Ginny, who also works at the practice.

Andrew makes sure he keeps up to date with the latest methodologies in dentistry, and is currently studying implantology, the latest technique for replacing missing teeth.

Andrew's philosophy on dentistry is very much focused on prevention being preferable to the cure, with the aim that his patients keep their own teeth for as long as possible.

Ginny Whitehouse, B.D.S, L.D.S., R.C.S. (Eng.) [Hons.]

Ginny also studied dentistry at Guy's Hospital, moving to Brighton to begin running a dental practice with Andrew in 1985. She has an Honours degree in Orthodontics and works part-time for Optical Express in Brighton, having originally trained with Boots. Ginny is an excellent general dentist.
