Meet Will Dolan – New Dentist to Oakley Road Family
Join us in extending a warm welcome to the newest member of the Oakley Road Dental Practice family – Dr. Will Dolan. In this brief introduction, we’ll provide you with a glimpse into Dr. Dolan’s journey, philosophy, and commitment to dental excellence. With a passion for gentle dentistry, a focus on the latest industry trends, and a dedication to creating a comfortable and informative atmosphere for patients, Dr. Dolan brings a fresh perspective to our practice. As he steps into our dental family, we invite you to get to know the person behind the profession and discover how his approach to dental care aligns seamlessly with our commitment to your oral health and well-being.
What inspired you to become a dentist?
Dr. Will: Well, my inspiration came from some rather unpleasant experiences I had when I was younger. A filling left me with severe dental anxiety, but a few years later, a new dentist helped me manage that anxiety through proper care and understanding. I’m determined to prove that dental experiences can be better than what many people, including myself, have gone through.
Can you tell us a bit about your philosophy when it comes to dentistry?
Dr. Will: My philosophy centers around the lightest possible touch to keep people healthy and happy. I believe in providing dental care that’s gentle and minimally invasive.
Could you share your specialization goals and any future plans in the field?
Dr. Will: My immediate goal is to complete my Postgraduate Diploma in restorative dentistry, and I’m aiming to specialize in implants in the future. Restorative dentistry fascinates me, and I see implants as a way to make a significant impact on patients’ lives.

Could you tell us about the latest trends in dentistry, and how you incorporate them into your practice?
Dr. Will: Currently, I’m quite intrigued by biomimetic dentistry. It’s all about making our work mimic what nature does. It’s an ongoing process, but the aim is to provide dental solutions that closely resemble the natural structure of teeth, ensuring better outcomes for our patients.
Preventative care is crucial in maintaining oral health. How do you emphasize this in your practice?
Dr. Will: Prevention is indeed key. I believe it’s far better to address a problem before it starts. In my practice, I emphasize the importance of preventive care as the main focus. Educating patients about how to prevent dental issues and maintaining good oral hygiene is a core aspect of what I do.
Can you tell us more about how you make patients feel more at ease?
Dr. Will: Absolutely. Dentistry can be shrouded in mystery, and that often adds to people’s anxiety. I like to keep things informal and have a chat with patients. I believe that by helping them understand what’s happening, why it’s happening, and how to prevent it in the future, we empower them and reduce their anxiety.
Moving on to your goals, both personal and professional, could you share some insights?
Dr. Will: Personally, I want to continue developing my restorative skills with a focus on implants in the future. Professionally, my goal is to create a pleasant environment where people feel comfortable seeking dental care.
You must encounter various challenges in your profession. What are some of the most significant ones you face?
Dr. Will: Dentistry can indeed be stressful, and this stress can accumulate over time. It can also be tough personally and emotionally, especially when you see colleagues struggling with these challenges.
What advice would you offer to someone considering a career in dentistry, given the challenges you’ve mentioned?
Dr. Will: It’s tough, there’s no doubt about it. But it’s incredibly rewarding. You have to be committed and resilient, but I don’t regret my choice for a second. The impact you can have on people’s lives is truly worth it.
It’s clear that you’re passionate about your work. On a lighter note, what’s your favorite aspect of your job?
Dr. Will: I genuinely enjoy meeting a variety of people and getting to know a bit about them. It adds a personal touch to my practice, and I find it very rewarding.
Do you have any hobbies or interests outside of dentistry?
Dr. Will: I enjoy exploring with my dog, Moose, a black lab, golfing, and watching ice hockey. These days, I find myself watching more hockey than playing, though.
And lastly, for our bookworm readers, do you have a favorite book you’d like to recommend?
Dr. Will: “World Without End” by Ken Follett is an absolute favorite of mine. It’s a fantastic read that I think many would enjoy.
