Our Team

Dr. Kit Merrill (BChD)

I graduated from Leeds Dental Institute in December 1992 and following that I spent 2 years working in Yorkshire in a busy City practice. After several locum appointments providing holiday cover in many different parts of Australia, I decided to settle closer to my birthplace.

I have now been practising dentistry in Bristol for 27 years and I enjoy all aspects of general dentistry, with a keen interest in Orthodontics using a variety of methods including clear aligners. I particularly enjoy the level of experience I have obtained during this timescale as it enables me to confidently provide a high standard of care and advice for all.

I have lived in the Southville community close to the surgery for 25 years, I got married in the area and my two children go to the local school. 

Eugenijus Vladimirovas (BDS)

I graduated in 2007 from Kaunas Medical University. Since my graduation I have been very interested in professional development. It brought me to my first workplace – one of the biggest implant practices in Lithuania, where I gained valuable experience treating many patients who needed complex dental treatment and implants. 

In 2011, I started working as an NHS Dentist in Somerset in the field of general dentistry. Starting in October 2015 I have been working as a fully private dentist in Bristol, providing general dentistry alongside dental implant treatment.

I enjoy providing quality dental care. My focus –  honest advice to the patient and lasting dental treatment.

Diana Ionescu (BDS)

I graduated in 2012 from Bucharest University and stayed to work in Bucharest until 2019 when I moved to the UK. I have been working in busy practices in the Southwest ever since. I have experience as an NHS, Private and an Emergency dentist.

I enjoy educating and caring for my patients in surgery. I am also proud to share my experience and knowledge with young dentists by working as a mentor and I previously worked as a clinical lecturer.

I have a keen interest in Periodontology and reconstruct heavily broken teeth or replace fractured Amalgams with aesthetic onlays/inlays.

In my free time I take pleasure in gardening and outdoor activities.
