Ioan BeschiuDentist (B.D.S)

I qualified as a dentist in 2005 from the University of Medicine in Timisoara, Romania. I have over 15 years experience in dentistry, starting as a house officer in Hospital Dental Emergency Unit, over 8 years in my own private practice in Romania and over 5 years in various practices in North-West England and Ireland.

I always strived to improve my skills and enhance my knowledge in new techniques and technology in general dentistry and, together with my specialist colleagues, we work towards the patients best interests.

In my free time I enjoy travelling and spending time with family and friends.

Laura BeschiuSpecialist Orthodontist

I am a specialist orthodontist, having qualified from the Faculty of Dentistry in Timisoara, Romania as a dentist in 2005 and have completed my specialist training in Orthodontics in 2008. Since then, I have worked in private practices across Europe.

My main interest in Dentistry has always been Orthodontics, as this is a specialty that has a huge impact not only on people’s oral health, but also on their self perception and social life. Because Orthodontics doesn’t only change teeth, it changes faces.

My main focus are children and teens where their growth potential, if well managed, can lead to favorable results but at the same time, adult cases can be equally challenging and satisfying.

Achieving great results requires hard work, skills and determination and I am determined to continue to learn and improve myself through using innovative techniques and appliances and through continuous professional development courses that I regularly attend.

On a personal level, I like music, reading, travelling and am very happy to live close to the sea.
