Our Team

Linda Ballinger NEBDN, Cert Dent Sedation Nursing

Dental Nurse

GDC No: 136094

Since qualifying as a dental nurse in 2005, Linda has built up a wealth of experience, previously working as a head dental nurse and had sedation and dental implant in-house training, alongside experience in minor oral surgery.

She joined Bank Cottage Dental in January 2021 and since then greeted everyone with a big smile, taking pleasure in meeting new patients and putting nervous patients at ease. What is important to Linda is ensuring that patients have a positive experience and in doing so, giving patients their smile back and getting any patients with toothache out of pain.

In Linda’s spare time, she enjoys socialising with friends and family and going on holiday.

Testimonials

As a person with a fear of dentists who had not visited one in 8 years I can honestly say Dentist Tim Lindop and Nurse Lisa made me feel at ease. They were friendly and professional and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Tim took the time to thoroughly explain to me what he was going to do before beginning which took a lot of my anxiety away. After explaining my concerns Tim was very patient and understanding and the injections I received were very gentle. Excellent dental practice with exceptional staff, I won't be going anywhere else in future.
