Tony and Lisa Appleton brought their practice from Church Street
in Stratford upon Avon to the new site at Aintree Road in 2009 and created Stratford Dental,
fulfilling their dream to have a concierge led dental practice.
Married with three grown up children, Tony and Lisa have been in dental partnership since qualifying
from Sheffield University in 1986 and are one of the rare couples who thrive on spending 24 hours a
day together!
Whilst both enjoying all that general dental practice offers, Tony has a particular interest in
large cosmetic cases, endodontics (root canal treatments) and dental implants. He has also lectured
on the subject of Cerec restorations and enjoys mentoring colleagues in the placement of such
restorations. In his time Tony has sat on many dental committees, has trained dental graduates and
has also been keen to attend as many postgraduate courses as possible, continuously striving to keep
at the cutting edge of dental advances.
Lisa enjoys working with nervous patients and children, gaining immense satisfaction from showing
them how easy modern dentistry can be! She also enjoys transforming peoples' smiles and watching
their confidence grow. Lisa also loves interior design and marketing and was responsible for creating
the fantastic practice we now occupy.
Manju joined Stratford Dental as a partner in 2010.
Since graduating from Newcastle University in 1992, Manju has enjoyed a very successful career in general
dental practice. She has also gained great surgical skills through a part time position she held in the
Oral Surgery Department at Birmingham Dental Hospital.
In 2003 Manju was awarded her MFGDP by the Royal College of Surgeons in London and was then accredited as
a Vocational Trainer in General Practice. She has undergone postgraduate training in advanced restorative
dentistry and enjoys all aspects of dental care.
Manju lives locally with her husband and two sons.
Whilst Tony and Lisa enjoy a sabbatical in Australia, Rob has joined the practice permanently after a successful career running practices in Eastbourne and Brighton, where he set up dedicated clinics
for the treatment of people who really dont enjoy going to the Dentist. He won the South East Young Dentist
of the Year award in 2007. He has a dedicated website www.phobiadentist.com
where you can find out more about how dentistry can be made really straightforward. Apart from Sedation
dentistry, he also has a passion for the
Inman Aligner for
moving teeth quickly. Rob shares Dr Tony Appleton's love of technology in Dentistry and he has carried out over 2000 succesful
CEREC restorations in 7 years. Rob lives in Stratford with his wife Lara and two children, Samuel and Annabelle and in his
spare time is a singer/songwriter and IT nerd! He lectures regularly around the country and writes articles about Phobia Dentistry and restorative techniques.
Simon graduated from Manchester University in 1986 and has been working with the
original Church Street and Stratford Dental team for 12 years.
Simon provides a large range of dental treatments within the practice and particularly enjoys providing ceramic
restorations, cosmetic veneers and whitening.
Simon lives locally with his partner and young son and spends most of his spare time following Manchester City
FC and playing golf!
