Highland Dental Care

She is highly proficient in all aspects of general dentistry and is deeply committed to ensuring a preventative approach to oral health care.

She is known for her calm and caring manner. Dr Degraeve particularly enjoys spending time helping children and anxious patients feel at ease, building the foundations for a lifetime of positive dental experiences and empowering them to make informed decisions about their dental care.

Hester takes a holistic approach to dentistry and is open to using complementary therapies as an adjunct to conventional dental treatment. In 2017 she qualified as a Member of the Faculty of Homeopathy. This enables her to prescribe homeopathically for patients on request, which may help them manage both anxiety and other oral conditions, alongside more conventional diagnosis and treatment options.

Hester also works at Peninsula Dental School, where she supervises students. This is a role she gains great satisfaction from, as it’s an opportunity to help train the next generation of dentists and dental therapists, while also keeping updated with the latest techniques.
