Mr Nick Lamb

Nick Lamb joined Island House in August 2008 and then became a partner at the practice in January 2013. Nick, when not at the practice is a Senior Dental Professional Adviser to NHS England East. During the first Covid-19 lock down Nick was one of the key people involved in setting up triage and the urgent dental care centres in the East of England for patients who needed to access dental care. Nick is also the secretary of the National Association of Dental Advisers which enables him to be actively involved with dentistry at a national level. “The practice impressed me from the moment I first saw it,” says Nick Lamb. “It’s extremely forward-thinking, with a real commitment to carrying out top end dentistry. I love it.” Nick moved to Island House after many years working in a group practice in Norwich, where he also trained newly qualified dentists. His career choice surprised some, coming as he did from a family of medics. “I initially studied for a degree in parasitology, having decided that I didn’t want to follow my family into medicine. It was only during work experience that I discovered the appeal of dentistry. I loved the way that this profession combines practical skills with specialist medical knowledge. In practice, every day is different, plus we have the option to pursue areas of specialist interests.” Already, Nick Lamb is earning a reputation for his work with dental implants, a special interest area of dentistry that enables lost teeth to be replaced with titanium implants.
