Digital technology

We use the latest technology to ensure that you receive the best and most precise care during your treatment with us.

Our cutting-edge iTero scanners take detailed 3D scans of your teeth and bite pattern to get a complete view of your whole mouth in minutes. While our 3D CBCT scanners can check the exact shape of your teeth and jaws as well as bone density to determine whether you are a suitable candidate for more complex treatments.

Our dentists and patients find there are many benefits of digital scanning such as;

  • Scanning is fast and minimally invasive (particularly beneficial for anxious patients).

  • The images produced are incredibly accurate and detailed, which is beneficial during the detection and diagnosis of oral health problems.

  • Scanned images can be used to monitor the effectiveness of treatment and can aid in the planning of proposed treatments.

Digital scanning facilities are available at both of our practices in Hertford and Ware, meaning that we can get a complete picture of your mouth all at once. It’s just one of the many reasons new patients choose us and other dentists across Hertfordshire refer patients to us.

CAROLINE CROWDER

BUSINESS DIRECTOR

Caroline joined the Hertfordshire Dental Group team in 2007. Since joining the team, she has been instrumental in achieving numerous prestigious accreditations for the practice, including the British Dental Association Good Practice Award and Denplan Excel Accreditation.

Caroline has been working in dentistry for over 30 years, starting out as a dental nurse. After qualifying, she moved to a central London practice, where she worked for many years supporting dentists carrying out complex dental procedures.

As a very personable and organised individual, it was a natural progression for Caroline to move into Practice management. Since taking over at the practice she has implemented the changes necessary to make Hertfordshire Dental Group the most respected practice in the local area. In 2022 Caroline made the move from Practice Manager to Business Manager and became a director of Hertfordshire Dental Group.

Caroline is dedicated and passionate about dentistry and is constantly looking for ways to improve the levels of care our patients are offered. She has led the team to make many fundamental changes within the practice, all of which reflect in the outstanding reputation of the Hertfordshire Dental Group.


JADE

Practice Manager (Ware practice)

Jade joined Hertfordshire Dental Group in May 2018 and is a caring and well organised team member that strives in good communication and patient care.

Before joining the team Jade worked as a Nanny for 20 years, looking after children in their family homes. As those children matured, Jade took on a PA role for one of those families which enabled her to develop additional skills that she was able to put to good use when she joined Hertfordshire Dental Group.

Jade was new to Dentistry when she joined our reception team, and she had the biggest fear of the dentist which proved to be fundamental in her building good relationships with both patients and staff.

Working front of house in the practice for several years served Jade well in obtaining a full understanding of how patients and clinicians work and in time a development into supporting Caroline behind the scenes has naturally and seamlessly led her into a more senior role as practice manager.

Jade believes in treating others how she would like to be treated and cares immensely about sustaining the most respected reputation of the practice that has been built up over the years and this is proven in the commitment and enthusiasm that she has for the practice.
