Meet The Team

Dentists

Paul Hellyer Paul Hellyer

Paul qualified from University College Hospital, London in 1971. After working for 5 years in various roles in the school dental service and general practices in the Crawley area, he joined the practice in 1977. In 1987 Paul commenced a part time Master’s degree in Gerodontology (dentistry for older people) at the Royal London Hospital, successfully completing the degree in 1989. He then continued at the hospital in a number of part-time research posts, and returned to general practice full time in 1994.

Although Paul enjoys treating a wide spectrum of patients, from the youngest to the oldest, his particular interest remains dentistry for older people, trying to help them to maintain their natural teeth for a whole life time. Where this is not possible, he enjoys prosthetics (denture work) forming a good team with an excellent local dental technician, Julia Christie.

Paul is married with 2 children. In his spare time, he enjoys working with young people, having run youth groups at local churches and Bexhill Youth Centre, and served as school governor for many years. This year, Paul has worked as a volunteer dentist with Mercy Ships in Liberia. Photos of the trip can be seen here.
