Meet the Team at Altrincham Dental Care.
Dr Bob Mehay is the principal dentist at Altrincham Dental Care. He is a leader, innovator and motivator of this team with particular interest in cosmetics, endodontics and prevention. Bob graduated from Manchester Dental School in 1995 after winning the regional elective research prize. He then went on to further his studies by working in America, returning to Altrincham to put into practice the vast knowledge gained whilst in the States. Bob was also one of the very first dentists to be accepted to study the new Masters of Science post-graduate degree in general dental practice.
Bob prides himself on being a people person; treating all patients as individuals. He takes great care and attention to make sure that all his patients achieve their dental goals, no matter what they be: from maintenance work to a Hollywood smile that gets you noticed in a crowd. Bob will take you through it in a kind, caring manner.
Dr Arminder Hare graduated from Manchester Dental School in 1997 and since then has pursued his interest in restorative and reconstructive dentistry. This has helped him to gain further knowledge and experience in these areas, as well as implant dentistry, both in the U.K. and further afield. He is a member of the International Society of Computerised Dentistry (ISCD) and also a qualified CEREC trainer.
Arminder takes a caring approach in dentistry and always aims to explain all treatment options effectively, to ensure that the patient is completely comfortable in the decisions he or she makes.
