After Nicola achieved her Bachelor of Dental Surgery in 1988 from Cardiff University, Nicola moved from her hometown of Bridgend to Cardiff to work in various locations including Morriston, Aberdare, Mountain Ash and Tonypandy. In 1995, Nicola took over City Road Dental, situated on City Road. Relocating to number 2 West Grove in 2007, since moving to the larger premises, the practice has continued to grow. Originally just a team of five, they now boast a predominately female team of twelve (with the exception of associate dentist Ben and  hygienist Jamie).

Nicola and the team have a professional, friendly and approachable manner and are always available to listen and help with concerns or queries you may have.
