Dr Natalie Milner – Principal Dentist

BDS (Hons) MJDF RCS PG Dip Con Sed
Natalie graduated in 2008 from Sheffield University with Honours, a Distinction in the Clinical Section and a prize in Pediatric Dentistry. In 2010 she completed her MJDF exam at the Royal College of Surgeons and in 2019 a post-graduate diploma in conscious sedation at Newcastle University.
After a few years spent in both private and NHS practices, she completed additional training at the Manchester Dental Hospital within Oral Surgery and Paediatrics.
From there, she worked in the Community Dental Service in Oldham. Before purchasing Firwood Dental Practice in November 2021, Dr Milner worked at a general dental practice in Halifax.
Since November 2021, Dr Natalie Milner has continually invested in the practice, from highly trained staff, a variety of treatments on offer, the quality of materials to a full practice refurbishment completed in 2023/2024.
Natalie has completed additional training in Invisalign, facial aesthetics and composite bonding.
Natalie is very passionate and always dreamt of owning her practice. Now that dream is a reality! Natalie enjoys improving patients’ confidence and lives through the provision of dental advice and treatments. Her aim is to continue to drive forward the high standards that Firwood Dental Practice is renowned for.
Outside of dentistry, Natalie enjoys spending time with her husband, Lawrence and their three children. Although very busy with the children’s activities (mainly football), I do like to walk, run, lift weights at the gym, and I’ve recently found a love for reformer Pilates!

Lisa Nash – Dental Nurse
(130186)
Hi there, I’m Lisa Nash, and I have been part of the furniture at Firwood Dental Practice since the year 2000. Never did I think I’d have a job that matches my name, but hey ho… here I am, dealing with “nashers” on a daily basis. But saying that, I do enjoy my job role; it gives me great satisfaction and joy seeing patients leave with a more confident, beaming smile.
I hope you can see I do have a fun personality & a great sense of humour and laugh at myself daily. But I also do have a very caring and empathetic side. I may not have a string of degrees and an alphabet after my name, but over all those years, I’ve gained lots of knowledge and experience.
Besides my Monday to Friday job, I have a very active social life that keeps me very busy. I do love a cheeky trip away, a night out with my friends or going for a drive out somewhere to try a new restaurant. And yes, I do love my food.
But to keep a good, healthy balance, I do partake in Zumba & reformer Pilates classes. Zumba for the Latino rhythm and plenty of sparkle… AKA cardio. And Pilates for the core strength and flexibility, now I’m getting older.
I’m all about a good work-life balance!
Joanna Carpenter-Davison – Receptionist
Hi, I’m Joanna the receptionist at Firwood Dental Practice and I have worked here since 2008.
It’s great to be part of an amazing team who are so caring and find happiness in helping others.
I understand that many patients can be nervous. I will support you with any worries or concerns you may have, or maybe you have goals for your teeth that you would like to discuss? We can turn your fears into confidence with fantastic results. As well as your regular maintenance visits to the Practice, you may find that you need to book additional appointments for any dental issue in-between your regular visits. The earlier you can ring us in the day the better so we can get you an appointment booked as soon as possible.
We are currently taking on new private patients to our affordable monthly membership plan, if you have any questions please give me a ring.
Outside of the Practice, I live in a left-handed male-dominated environment: even the dog is male. Five out of six of us are left-handed (including me). I met my husband in 1994 and we have four sons together who are mostly grown up now.
We are all extremely hard working at the Practice but we do look forward to our holidays, my favorite place to visit is Somerset.
