My Journey

Melanie Pittroff

Owner & Lead dentist

I’m Mel, and this is an insight into my story and journey at Oakley Road Dental Practice, where my dreams have become a reality.

As the owner of the practice since 2016, my aim is to provide the highest standard of dental care with a difference. We want patients, both old and new, to feel welcomed into our calm and relaxed environment, something for our patients to look forward to, like a catch-up with an old friend.

We decided to brand Oakley Road Dental Practice with an oak tree for our logo and used a vibrant green to bring brightness and happiness to the practice, as well as a way of connecting with the calmness of nature. We pride ourselves massively on having a fantastic team of dental professionals who love what they do. Our team is like family, and you can be sure that at Oakley Road, this will radiate kindness, compassion, and a friendly smile to everybody that visits us.

No matter how simple or complex it may be, we are here to deal with all aspects of your dental care and can provide you with the confidence to smile again.

Had my hygienist appointment with Michelle today and I'm really happy with how it went. She was so thorough and took the time to point out a few things that I need to work on, without making the whole thing feel overwhelming. We've now got a plan moving forward to tackle the problem areas and get everything back on track. I came away feeling really positive about it. Really friendly, professional and clearly knows her stuff. Couldn't be happier with the appointment. Highly recommend.

I have had an exceptional experience with this practice. Every member of the team is honest, responsible, and highly professional in their work. From the reception staff to the dentists, the aesthetic practitioner, and the dental hygienists, everyone is incredibly kind, compassionate, and respectful. Their approach is warm and welcoming, and they genuinely care about providing the best possible treatment for their patients. It is clear that their priority is not simply financial gain, but ensuring that each patient receives the highest standard of care and leaves completely satisfied. I have rarely come across a business where so many genuinely good, ethical, and dedicated professionals work together. I am truly grateful to have found such an experienced, trustworthy, and caring team, and I could not be happier with the care I have received.

I have suffered with migraines for years, and they have left me bedbound for days at a time – they truly took over my life. I tried so many different medications, but they all left me with terrible side effects. Several people recommended Botox for migraines, but I was very worried about the lack of knowledge some practitioners seemed to have. Then my friend recommended Oakley Road Dentist, and I am so grateful they did! The lovely dentist, Mel, talked me through everything carefully and was so kind and reassuring. I’m absolutely delighted to say that after a few weeks of things settling, I haven’t had a single migraine since. After all these years, I could cry with happiness! Thank you so much, Mel – I will definitely be back!! ❤️

Michelle is an absolutely amazing hygienist. From day one, she has been incredibly kind, patient, and understanding throughout my treatment, despite my overwhelming fear of dentists. I can't thank her enough for the care, compassion, and reassurance she has given me every step of the way. She has made what was once a very daunting experience feel manageable, and I genuinely wouldn't feel comfortable having my teeth cleaned by anyone else. Her professionalism, empathy, and dedication to her patients are exceptional, and I'm so grateful for everything she has done for me. I couldn't recommend Michelle highly enough.
