Serving the Kingsbridge community since 1975

Welcome to Quay Dental Surgery, conveniently located in the heart of Kingsbridge here in South Devon. Our professionals know that dental health is not just about those pearly white smiles: it’s about having strong teeth and healthy gums. It’s about prolonging the simple joy of eating delicious things! Our mission is to help our patients accomplish these goals in a painless, compassionate, and efficient way.

We aim to educate our patients in a safe environment while offering them necessary comprehensive care. We understand that many people have anxiety about dental treatment, so we created a soothing, relaxed yet professional environment and a scheduling system that never keeps you waiting long. By combining the latest technology, up to date learning with traditional techniques, we give our patients the best care we can.

Natalie Elliott

Principle Dentist and Practice Owner.

Natalie was born in Kingsbridge but moved away when she was very young.  Natalie completed her first degree in Motorcycle Engineering Design at Kingston University in 2006 and subsequently moved back to the South Hams at the earliest opportunity. 

She qualified from Peninsula Dental School in 2015 and was offered the opportunity of taking ownership of Quay Dental Surgery in 2017.

Natalie has a passion for helping those with dental phobias with a relaxed and unpressured approach. There is nothing more she enjoys than seeing an initially incredibly phobic patient positively skip through the door after spending time, effort, some light heartedness and most importantly patience with that person.

You will see Natalie around Kingsbridge most of the time accompanied by her two dogs, Wilfred and Maddie who you may spy out of the window when you visit Quay Dental.

She looks forward to meeting all newcomers, young and old and getting to know them.

Vicky Carter

Practice Manager.

Vicky moved to Salcombe in 1981 , taking a six month sabbatical from nursing in Newcastle upon Tyne where she was born .

The rest is history as she met her husband at the hotel she worked in and remained in Devon.

In 2004 Vicky trained as a dental nurse and has been Quay dental Surgery ever since .

Vicky absolutely loves her job as no day is the same and meeting all the locals over the years, she feels they have become her friends as they have all grown older together.

Outside work Vicky has a springer spaniel of which she constantly talks about and she loves walking with him .

Vicky is now 61 but mentally does not feel it having two children of 21 and 24, they keep you youthful!

Vicky love how Natalie involves us in the progression of the business and the team at Quay Dental try very hard to be environmentally aware as possible .
