Meet The Finney Lane Dental Care Team

Stephanie

Stephanie Buck BDS

Principle Dentist

GDC N0: 70574

Having qualified from Newcastle University in 1995, I spent a year working in Cumbria before moving back to the North West.

I have worked in several practices and joined the practice in Heald Green in 2014. I enjoy all aspects of general dentistry, priding myself in carrying out treatments to the highest standards. I believe prevention is better than cure and feel helping patients to maintain good oral hygiene is an important part of their routine check-ups. Seeing patients regularly over the years helps to build a good rapport, allowing them to have trust & confidence in me.

I like to keep up to date with Continued Professional Development and have recently completely a course on aesthetic restorations.

Outside work I enjoy going to the gym, spending time with my family & walking my beloved Labrador.

Sharon Wagstaff BA(Hons) DipSW

Practice Manager

Before joining the practice in November 2019, I have had over 20 years of experience working for the public sector as a social worker and in primary education. And 22 years as a mum.

It’s very important to me that the patient experience at Finney Lane Dental Care is a positive one, from the first telephone contact through to the completion of all treatments. I am here to support the dental team and offer excellent customer care to all of our patients.

In my free time, I enjoy long walks with my family, going to the theatre and museums, baking and cuddles with my cat Millie (on her terms of course!) I have also acquired two new pastimes during lockdown, yoga and running, which are definitely worth the challenge!

Rachael Parry

Associate Dentist

GDC N0: 209798

Having qualified from Liverpool in 2011 I returned to the Dental hospital to carry out house officer training followed by a role within the oral medicine team.

I have spent the last several years solely working in general practice.

I enjoy a preventative approach to dentistry and try to make my patients as relaxed as possible!

I have recently undertaken an aesthetic medicine course and hope to bring this service to patients in the near future.

Most of my spare time is taken up chasing through various parks after an adventurous toddler or trying to cater to the whims of my spoilt cat.

Sarah Sendagire-Kiweewa

Associate Dentist

GDC N0: 084393

I have a special interest in periodontics (gum disease) and implant surgery after acquiring an Msc Implantology (Edgehill University) and PG Diploma Periodontics (London Perio School). I dedicate much of my clinical time raising awareness of periodontal (gum) disease. Over the years have acquired multiple certificate courses inclusive of restorative dentistry and minor oral surgery.

I registered as a UK Dentist in 2004 and worked in the Midlands where I built up a wide range of experience in general dental practice and only recently relocated to Greater Manchester.

My calm nature has enabled me gain trust of anxious patients.

Outside Dentistry, I am a mother of 4 daughters and 2 sons. I enjoy Tilawat Al-Quran.

Gehad Mohamed

Dental Hygiene Therapist

GDC N0: 320862

I am a General Dentist, originally qualified in Egypt in 2012, and currently registered with the GDC in the UK as a Dental Therapist. I hold Membership of the Faculty of Dental Surgery from the Royal College of Surgeons and bring over a decade of international clinical experience from Egypt and Saudi Arabia.

My passion lies in aesthetic dentistry—especially composite bonding, which I view as a form of art, blending precision with creativity. I'm also trained in facial aesthetics, including Botox and dermal fillers, allowing me to enhance natural beauty with a safe, artistic touch.

Alongside my clinical work, I have strong experience in dental compliance and complaints management, and I currently lead as General Manager of Qualifymax Academy, where I design and deliver dental training courses for aspiring professionals.

Beyond dentistry, I have a deep love for makeup and fashion, which beautifully complements my work in aesthetics. I believe in combining science, beauty, and patient care to create confident, lasting smiles.

Molly Crompton

Dental Hygiene Therapist

GDC N0: 289212

Hi my name is Molly. I qualified as a Dental Therapist from the University of Leeds in 2024.

I began working in the dental industry as a trainee dental nurse at the age of 16, where I found my passion for dentistry - particularly patient care and education.

I try to build genuine connections with my patients, leading with a non-judgemental and compassionate approach. I truly believe that everyone deserves to have a happy and healthy mouth and I love educating my patients on how they can achieve that.

Outside of work I like to spend time surrounded by my loved ones, watching pretty sunsets and eating good food!

Heather Frew

Trainee Dental Nurse

Hello, my name is Heather and I am a Trainee Dental Nurse here at Finney Lane Dental Practice.

After receiving my 3 A-Levels in Psychology, Sociology and Theology from Aquinas College, I decided that dental nursing is what I am truly interested in.

Since starting in April 2025, I have already fallen in love with this profession as there is no better feeling than caring for others and I cannot wait to qualify and expand my knowledge further.

In my free time I love socialising with my friends and family and attempting to cuddle my extremely grumpy cat Peppa!
