Dr Claudia Brown is a qualified dentist and a registered Specialist Periodontist with the General Dental Council. She has worked as a Specialist Clinical Teacher at Guy’s Dental School, as well as in Oral Surgery at King’s College Dental Hospital. As a Specialist Periodontist, she lectures nationally and internationally to dental professionals, schools, and communities — including for a charity that empowers young girls.
She also examines postgraduate dentists for the Royal College of Surgeons of England, both nationally and internationally. Claudia qualified from UMDS (Guy’s). Following that, she completed General Professional Training (VT and honorary clinical assistantship posts in hospital oral surgery, restorative, and orthodontic departments).
She then undertook a series of hospital, community, and general practice posts around the country, gaining broad-based experience in dentistry, surgery, sedation (SAAD-trained), and general anaesthesia.
She has attained Membership of the Faculty of Dental Surgeons (MFDS) from the Royal College of Surgeons of England, as well as a Master of Science (MSc) and a Master of Clinical Dentistry (MClin Dent) in Periodontology at King’s College London. Additionally, she earned Membership in Restorative Dentistry (MRD) from the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh with merit. Her MSc project investigated the association between periodontal disease and cardiovascular health — specifically the presence of circulating CRP in the peripheral blood of untreated periodontitis patients. This sparked her strong interest in the connection between oral and systemic health.
During her time at Guy’s, she achieved Stage 1 in learning and teaching in higher education. In addition to non-surgical and surgical periodontal treatment, she also places implants and uses diode laser, Waterlase, and cone beam CT scanning as part of her periodontal management, where appropriate.
Claudia was interviewed by Private Dentistry magazine two years ago. She has also contributed to a general health book on oral health to be published in the UK and US, and has authored various articles over the years. As a member of the African and Caribbean Dental Association (ACDA), she was part of the team invited to 10 Downing Street to discuss the importance of improving patient access to dentistry and the association between periodontal and general health. She strongly believes global health is paramount. She has also appeared in a television advert promoting vitamin supplement sprays, which was aired in the US.
Claudia loves to travel and is an advocate for the less fortunate and vulnerable. She has a keen interest in voluntary work, particularly involving the homeless (soup kitchens and medical vans in London) and the elderly. She has carried out dental voluntary work and health education in rural Uganda and Kenya, supported Crisis at Christmas, and participated in Race for Life on several occasions. She is currently organising a dental voluntary trip to Jamaica for next year.

Dr Christina Evaghoras was educated locally before studying dentistry at Guy’s Hospital. She qualified as a dentist in 1997. In the year that followed, she worked at Guy’s, gaining further experience in maxillofacial surgery, children’s dentistry, and oral medicine. A year in general practice was then followed by additional experience in surgery and orthodontics.
Christina’s passion for orthodontics earned her a place on the specialist training course at Guy’s Hospital.
She completed her Master’s in Orthodontics from the University of London in 2003, and in 2004 gained Membership in Orthodontics from the Royal College of Surgeons of England. Since then, Christina has worked in specialist practice, providing orthodontic care to both children and adults. Several years spent working with children with special needs and anxiety in a dedicated clinic have further enhanced her skills.
Christina aims to achieve the best results for her patients, whether their orthodontic needs are simple or complex. Adults and children alike are treated with modern, evidence-based techniques — including “invisible” or ceramic braces where appropriate.
Christina also provides facial aesthetics at our practice. She has completed training with Cosmetic Courses — the longest-established training provider for Botox and dermal filler training courses — and with Allergan, their first appointed training provider for medical aesthetics.
