Mount Wise Dental Practice

Mount Wise Dental Practice began life as Ashton & Prideaux Dental Surgeons, treating the first patient on 9th March 1985. On the 1st June 2016 Dr Malcolm Prideaux and Dr Bridget Ashton sold Mount Wise Dental practice to a former foundation dentist Dr Lisa Mullarkey.

 

Dr Mullarkey completed her foundation year at Mount Wise Dental Practice in 2007. She went on to complete a year at Derriford Hospital as a Senior House Officer in the Maxillofacial and Oral Surgery department. During this year she completed her exams to become a Member of the Faculty of Dental Surgery (MFDS). In 2011 the lure of Australia came calling and Dr Mullarkey and her husband set sail for the great southern land. She spent four years working in Queensland Health as a Senior Dental Officer as well as working privately. 

 

One thing remained a constant for Dr Mullarkey, if ever Mount Wise Dental Practice came up for sale she wanted to own it. Dr Mullarkey left Australia and returned to Plymouth to complete the sale of Mount Wise Dental Practice in 2016.  Dr Mullarkey is constantly striving to improve her clinical knowledge and skills.  Her most recent qualification is her Diploma in Restorative Dentistry gained at Plymouth University.

Many of our previous Foundation Dentists have gone on to further training, with one reaching the position of Consultant in Maxillofacial Surgery.
