Meet the Ladygrove Dental Practice team


James Brown

Practice Owner

Dental Surgeon BDS University of Bristol 1991.

I have worked for both NHS and private general practices. I established the Ladygrove Practice in May 1998. The Ladygrove has grown to a three surgery practice offering high quality private dental care. I am extremely lucky to have such a fabulous team in the practice without whom we would be unable to provide our high quality service.


Nicholas Arnold

Associate Dentist

Dental Surgeon BDS University of Birmingham 1998.

I qualified from the University of Birmingham in 1998, and after a year of Vocational Training with my wonderful mentor Belinda Lund in Sussex, settled in Oxford. My first associate position was at a large and busy, all-NHS practice in Abingdon. In 2003, I was lucky enough to be appointed as the associate at Ladygrove Dental Practice, where I have remained very happily ever since.

 

I like to get to know my patients - and their teeth - properly, and many have now been coming to see me for well over 20 years. I aim to provide my patients with only the dentistry they actually need and want, in the most comfortable way I can manage, at a fair price.

 

I carry out all routine dental procedures to a high standard, but my meticulous nature means I particularly enjoy endodontics (root canal fillings). Hands-on courses and reading keep me up-to-date.

 

When I’m not at work, I enjoy spending time with my wife and our three school-age children. I love music and play piano and cello, though perhaps not quite as well as I used to when I had more time to practise! I have had a great interest in electromechanical machines since I was a toddler and have a small workshop at home where I restore clocks, vintage radios and telephones, and any other interesting things which come my way. I also like walking and cycling.


Elenza Jacob

Associate Dentist

I joined the practice in Feb 2023 and have experience working in NHS and private care , having worked in Community Dental Care, Out of Hours Emergency clinics and General Dental practice across Oxfordshire and Berkshire and Wiltshire.

From the time I joined the practice, I have been supported by an excellent team and feel that this is a family friendly practice, where patients are looked after well.


I regularly attend post graduate courses and have completed Post Graduate Certificate Course in Restorative dentistry. My interests are in minimal invasive dentistry, aesthetic treatments and clear aligners for aligning teeth.



Outside work I like to spend time with family and friends. My other interests are walking, reading, travelling and cooking.


Jonathan Lawrence

Associate Dentist

Jono qualified from the University of Sheffield in 2011, and completed his vocational training in Rotherham. He has worked in NHS and private general dental practice and urgent care centres across South Yorkshire, Cambridgeshire and Buckinghamshire, as well as for the RAF and Army. He has a particular interest in cosmetic dentistry, including whitening, crowns, veneers and composites. He also enjoys oral surgery, including wisdom tooth extraction, and is currently studying towards a postgraduate diploma in this field. He is friendly and does his best to put his patients at ease, making their visit as comfortable as possible.


In his spare time, he enjoys spending time with his wife Mel and young son Henry, especially at the zoo or a soft play, or further afield exploring the world. He enjoys watching movies and a good series, and enjoys a good pint with friends.
