Angelene Burton (BChD)

After looking at various opportunities and options, I became more and more attracted to what Abbey Dental Care stands for. I qualified in 1998 with distinction at the University of Pretoria, BCHD(Pret),  received my training in dental implants in 2012 with Nobel Biocare and joined the Invisalign group in 2016.  I enjoy doing cosmetic dentistry, removable appliances (dentures) and normal day-to-day dentistry. I am confident with working with very nervous patients, and I enjoy doing prevention work with children. Together with Dr Riz Seyd we place and restore implants. Dr Riz Seyd performs more complex surgery including; zygomatic implant placement, all on four placement, leading to the one day smile!

My high standard of work ethics, ensures we provide the highest level of dedication and care for our patients. I think family is very important and I try to resemble it in my practice as well. We are a family practice and are proud to say so!

Personally, I strive to create a safe environment that is responsive, effective and caring. My team and I will continue to build upon the great heritage this practice was founded on.

  • Preventative dentistry means less, not more, treatment;

  • Where treatment is necessary, it must be performed to the highest standard, using the best techniques, the best equipment, and the best materials.

  • We keep to GDC standards in keeping up to date with our skills.

  • We follow CQC guidelines.

  • We make sure we only provide treatment that is in the best interest of our patients.That is why we have our own hygienist and our own laboratory. We work with micromotor driven handpieces, using state-of-the-art equipment and the latest technology.

  • We are dedicated to keeping our skills up-to-date.
