Dr Uzma Olbrich

Uzma qualified from Newcastle Dental School in 1996. She completed her general professional training at Newcastle Dental Hospital before joining Queensway as a full time associate in 1998. She has a special interest in advanced restorative dentistry and cosmetic dentistry, and has attended many courses to supplement this interest.

“I love being a dentist. I enjoy the science and engineering concepts behind the different materials and various techniques we use, but mostly I love the artistry involved in making my work as natural and aesthetically pleasing as possible.

I love meeting people, and building strong relationships. Through good communication, an understanding of what my patients want from their dental care and a strong understanding of what is professionally possible, enables us to move forward towards the same long-term dental goals.

After working at Queensway for many years, calming, anxiety free dentistry is an essential part of my patient management.

Ongoing education is at the forefront of my practice. I believe in attending courses, which directly benefit my patients.”

Uzma stays at the forefront of dentistry by gaining knowledge from leading British and International dental specialists. In November 2014 Uzma graduated from the Kois Center, in Seattle after an extensive study programme with one of America’s most influential dentists, Dr John Kois. This eight module programme follows some clear protocols for managing more challenging and complex dental care. The Kois Center mission statement is “Enabling motivated dentists to achieve extraordinary levels, expanding knowledge and application skills in restorative dentistry.”

What makes you smile?

I smile the most when my children dissolve into uncontrollable giggles. There is nothing more soul lifting than that noise.
