Kate Drake
Welcome to the Promenade Dental Practice – the only NHS & Denplan Dental Practice in Mumbles.
Our ground floor base in the heart of Mumbles, right on the seafront, combines convenience and accessibility with pleasant, modern surroundings.
Hygienist
She brings over 20 years of experience to Promenade Dental having worked at NHS and private practices all over the UK. Kate’s motto is to ‘maintain, monitor and motivate’, urging people to take care of their teeth at home as she knows what a difference this can make.
A work experience placement was the catalyst for Kate’s career. Inspired by the positivity of the dental hygienist she shadowed, she trained as a dental nurse after leaving school, later attending Manchester University where she qualified as a hygienist.
Kate has worked in practices in Cheshire, Lancashire and Llanelli, and the opportunity to work in so many different environments has taught her about the importance of developing good relationships with both colleagues and patients.
She values the support and guidance she received during her early years from those more senior than her and is a firm believer in encouraging others at all levels of experience.
Kate feels as enthusiastic now as when she first qualified. A key member of the Promenade Dental team one day a week, she works full time across a number of practices in the Swansea Bay area, helping her keep up to date with modern dental techniques so she may provide the very best in good dental care.
Outside of work and alongside busy family life, Kate enjoys long dog walks, reading, going to the gym and socialising.
