Colette Lightfoot Hi, I’m Colette. I’m a general and cosmetic dentist here at Swan, and I’ve been caring for patients for the past eight years. I genuinely enjoy every part of dentistry—from seeing you and your family for routine check-ups to restoring teeth with treatments such as fillings and crowns. My approach is calm, friendly, and reassuring, and I always take the time to explain things clearly. I’m especially committed to supporting patients who feel anxious, helping them feel comfortable and confident at every visit. A key part of my philosophy is looking after your long-term oral health. It’s important to treat any active dental problems, but it’s just as important to make sure your mouth stays healthy and resilient for the years ahead. I’ll suggest options to strengthen and protect your teeth, helping you build a smile that lasts—not just for today, but for the future. Cosmetic dentistry is another area I’m passionate about. I offer clear aligner treatment (adult braces), composite bonding, and porcelain veneers, and I love working closely with patients to create smiles that feel natural and confidence-boosting. If you’re thinking about enhancing your smile, you’re very welcome to come in for a relaxed chat. We can explore your goals together and design a personalised treatment plan that suits you perfectly. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, staying active with fitness and Pilates, and being outdoors, which helps me feel balanced and energised. I’m excited to meet you and look forward to welcoming you to the practice!
