Zoe Rumbelow

Hello, my name is Zoe and I am a Treatment Coordinator here at the practice.
I grew up in Cape Town, South Africa, where I worked as a teacher for many years. I have also spent many years working in the Hotel Industry and owned two micro businesses which I ran from home.
I moved over to Scotland in 2020, just before Covid and the first lockdown and started work in the Care Sector. I joined the Pain Free Group in July 2024 and love my job as a Treatment Coordinator.
I particularly enjoy working with patients to help them get the information they need to start their smile journey in a non-judgemental, calm environment.
When not working you will find me walking the hills breathing in the beautiful Scottish air.

Jennifer graduated from the Royal College of Surgeons in 2007. With a lifelong passion for dentistry, she began her dental career during her time at Gourock High School, working as a dental nurse on the weekends. After leaving school, she worked as a dental nurse for a few years before going to Glasgow Dental Hospital to become one of the UK’s first dually qualified Dental Hygienist and Therapist. She has furthered her skills by attending several courses and keeps up to date with treatments and advice to ensure her patients receive the utmost care.
Jennifer joined the team at Dentistry on the Clyde in 2024 and is enjoying being back in Gourock. Jennifer is very much a people person, and enjoys helping her patients achieve and maintain oral health. She has a particular interest in treating advanced gum disease and helping dentally anxious patients.
Over the years, she has gained lots of experience working in various dental practices, meeting lots of people, with all sorts of dental issues and concerns, so she really wants her patients to know she is here to help however she can. Helping her patients to improve their oral and general health, while they grow in confidence in themselves is why she does what she does.
Donna

Hi my name is Donna and I have been qualified as a dental nurse for over 20 years.
I have worked at Dentistry On The Clyde for more than 16 years.
I split my time between surgery and reception and I am also trained in sedation and implants.
The best part I like about my time in surgery is seeing patients with their new smile makeovers and pain free experience. Outside of work I enjoy spending time with family and socialising with friends.
Yvonne

Hi my name is Yvonne and I have worked at Dentistry on The Clyde for over 20 years. I work mainly with Morven one of our pain free dentists carrying out all treatments, but my favourite would be sedation, dental implants and smile makeovers.
The best part of my job is seeing the end results of smile makeovers!! I absolutely love to see the joy, happiness and the tears on our patients’ faces when they see their new smile for the first time.
In my free time I love going on weekends away and taking my son to swimming training/competitions and football.

It’s a rewarding experience to assist in creating positive outcomes for our patients.
