OUR TEAM

Mark Darrah B.D.S.

After qualifying from Sheffield I spent several years in London, both in general practice and in two year- long hospital appointments, one being in an Oral Surgery Department and the other in a crown and bridge department. On returning to Southport I joined this practice, married and brought up my family. Recently I have partaken in two extensive courses on implants and endodontics (root fillings). I especially enjoy the intricacies of endodontics and cosmetic dentistry, with the opportunities to make some fantastic smiles!

Almost inevitably being a Southport Dentist I play golf and when the weather turns colder enjoy shooting.

Kevin Gibney B.D.S., M.F.G.D.P., M.Med.Sci.(implant dentistry)

I went to school in Liverpool and studied dentistry at Dundee University qualifying in 1977. I have been a general dental practitioner since and have been in practice at St Paul’s Square since 1990. I achieved MFGDP (Membership of the Faculty of General Dental Practitioners) in 1994. In 1996/7 I attended the well-respected implant course at Sheffield Dental School and followed this with MmedSci (Masters Degree in Medical Science, Implantology) completed in 2003. I have been providing implants for my own patients and those of colleagues who refer to me since 1997 and have placed and restored hundreds of implants.
As well as providing routine dental care I enjoy the challenge of complex cases. Many of these cases involve the use of implants together with crowns, bridges and veneers using the latest ceramics to restore both function and aesthetics.
 

Mark Cracknell B.D.S.

I qualified at Liverpool University in 1985 and worked in a group practice in Rainford and Parbold before coming to St. Paul's Square in May 1986.
I enjoy all aspects of dentistry with particular interest in advanced restoration work.
I have attended the Advanced Postgraduate Course for Dental Practitioners at Fazakerley Hospital for three years and competed the implant prosthetic course at Sheffield University.
I am married with three children and my interests other than my family include walking and singing, having taken part in local productions, recitals and concerts.

Giles Davies B.D.S.

I have lived in Southport for most of my life, arriving at the tender age of two in 1967 which I hope makes me an honorary Sandgrounder!
I qualified as a Dental Surgeon at Liverpool Dental School in 1995 and I have been based at St Paul's Dental Care ever since. I enjoy the varied challenges of General Practice, especially being able to put my patients at ease and hopefully demonstrating that a visit to the dentist should not be feared, but should be a pain free and reasonably pleasant experience. I am very keen on preventive  dentistry and the importance of good oral hygiene and diet from an early age. I also have an interest in the cosmetic aspects of dentistry such as ceramic crowns, veneers, bridges, tooth whitening and implant related solutions for missing teeth.
Your smile is one of the most important assets you've got and it is my aim to give you something to smile about!
I am married and have two daughters who attend local schools, one of which I attended as a child and am now proud to be a Governor of. I spend my leisure time caravanning (Jeremy Clarkson look out!) and playing guitar in a local amateur band.

Sarah Moult Dip.D.H.&T.

My dental career started in London at the Royal Dental Hospital, where I did my Dental Surgery Assistant training. I then moved to Manchester Dental Hospital and qualified there as a Dental Hygienist in 1986. I am passionate about my job and gain great satisfaction from helping my patients to maintain a healthy mouth.
I have a daughter Rosie and outside work I go horse riding when I can, sing in a choir, play tennis and enjoy fell walking.
