Dr Jurga Doherty

I joined Oh My Smile back in 2019 as an Associate Dentist. I qualified in Lithuania from Kaunas University of Medicine in 2005. During my undergraduate studies, I was an active participant in student research activities and had the opportunity to complete part of my studies of dentistry in the University of Helsinki (Finland) and Fernando Pessoa University on Porto (Portugal). I chose to further my career in UK as I was planning to advance my study of dentistry here. This was done in 2009 when I gained an MSc in Fixed and Removable Prosthodontics from Manchester University. I started working in a general practice in Lowton and later moved on to purchase and run my own practice in Atherton in 2013. I also hold a Clinical Teaching Fellow position in the University of Manchester. It involves supervision of postgraduate students attending MSc in Fixed and Removable Prosthodontics during their clinical activities, helping with treatment planning and clinical skills. Although I enjoyed many aspects of being an owner and running a business, I also found that there is much less time to spend with family and decided to move back from ownership to joining a brilliant practice as an Associate Dentist. I then sold my practice in 2019 and joined Oh My Smile. My main clinical interest and passion is in providing quality minimally invasive aesthetic dentistry with care and gentleness – and no pain! I especially love providing aesthetic dentures and helping people to gain their smiles and confidence back. I am also very interested in treating people who have problems with their teeth wearing down. I am now enrolled in a Totally Aesthetics programme in London to gain even more skills required to perform high level minimally invasive restorative and aesthetic dentistry. I enjoy keeping my knowledge up to date and love attending courses and constantly improving myself in order to provide the best treatments available for our patients. Outside of practice, I enjoy quiet time with my family, and pets, a dog, a cat, and a parrot! I love keeping active while practicing hot yoga, running, and swimming.
