Meet the Team

Born in Egypt, but raised in Hong Kong, Haytham moved to the UK to study dentistry in Newcastle, where he fell for the charm of the North East and he has lived in the area ever since!
After qualifying in 2005, Haytham started off his career in a competitive hospital training program which led him to focus on his interest in Oral Surgery. He spent the next 5 years gaining experience in a wide range of surgical procedures with the support of some of the finest consultants in Maxillofacial surgery. In 2010, he was given the opportunity to work in a large sedation based dental clinic. He gained vast experience treating hundreds of patients under sedation whilst carrying out a wide variety of dental treatments. Alongside his clinical commitments, Haytham enrolled onto the Warwick University Dental Implantology Diploma. In 2014 he was awarded his Diploma in dental Implantology and has since helped hundreds of patients regain their smiles and function with the aid of dental implants.

Emily graduated from Queen’s University Belfast in 2013, completing her General Professional training in Newcastle Dental Hospital and in a general practice in Marton, Middlesbrough.

Emily went on to complete a Senior House Officer year in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at The James Cook University hospital. She continues to work there as a Speciality Doctor in Oral Surgery, and has recently joined the Sleep Apnoea Team at James Cook providing Mandibular advancement devices as an alternative to CPAP.

She joined Alpha in 2016 as an associate dentist with interests in Oral Surgery, Restorative Aesthetic Dentistry and Facial Aesthetics, and now more recently, Anti-Snoring devices. Emily is an advanced practitioner in facial aesthetics providing anti-wrinkle treatments and dermal fillers.

When she isn’t in the Surgery, you can find her tending to her vegetable garden with her two children or experimenting in the kitchen with homemade bakes, preserves and chutneys.
