Private dental practice
About Smile Dental Clinic
Smile Dental Clinic is an independent private dental practice in the heart of Hopton-on-Sea, Great Yarmouth.
Our ethos is simple: we give you the same level of care we would give our own family.
Our mission
Helping you look after your oral health, comfortably
Our mission is to help our patients enjoy good oral health and overall wellbeing, with high-quality dental care in a comfortable and caring environment.
We're a small independent practice, and we believe building genuine relationships with our patients is just as important as the dentistry. We take time to get to know you, understand your concerns and make sure you feel comfortable and valued at every visit.
We pride ourselves on a calm, welcoming environment where nervous patients feel listened to and supported. Our gentle, reassuring approach helps anxious patients feel more at ease throughout their visit.
Our practice uses modern digital technology, including 3D scanners, and we offer personalised aftercare so you're comfortable not just at the practice but in the hours after you leave.
Our team
A team you can trust
Our practice is led by Sarah Godbolt, working alongside our dentist, Dr Amaka Ngwuocha.
Dr Amaka Ngwuocha
Dentist
Dr Amaka Ngwuocha is our dentist, with 24 years of experience in dentistry. She provides general and restorative dental care at Smile Dental Clinic.
Sarah Godbolt
Dental Hygienist/Therapist and Owner
Sarah founded Smile Dental Clinic and leads the practice, bringing 24 years of experience in dentistry. She began her career as a dental nurse for five years, then qualified in dental hygiene and therapy at King's College in 2009.
She worked for several years at BUPA Dental Practice on Gorleston High Street before opening her own clinic. Seeing how the pandemic affected access to dental care in Norfolk motivated her to create a friendly, relaxed and caring practice in Hopton.
Sarah has experience treating gum (periodontal) disease and welcomes direct access hygiene appointments for patients who have a dentist elsewhere.
