New appointment

Richard Coates, formerly of Sunderland’s Wessington Way practice, has joined the award-winning Riveredge Dentistry which has surgeries in both Sunderland and Newcastle.

Riveredge, headed up by multi-award winning dentist Ken Harris, is regarded as one of the top practices for cosmetic dentistry in the UK, along with offering general dental services.

“We are delighted to have Richard join our team,” said Ken.  “He is an excellent practitioner and will be a real asset to Riveredge.”

Richard, from Washington, worked in Darlington and North Tyneside before joining a Sunderland practice 10 years ago. However, with the imminent closure of Wessington Way Dental Practice, Richard has taken the opportunity to join the team at Riveredge.
