Warm and friendly staff who genuinely listen
Professional and thorough treatment with cutting-edge technology
I grew up in Northumberland and obtained my dental degree from Sheffield Dental School in 1999.
On-going education has been a big focus throughout my career, and I have studied further to obtain additional knowledge and diplomas in restorative dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, dental implantology and non-surgical aesthetic treatments. I also have an LLM Master's degree in Medical Law and work as a dental advisor for an indemnity organisation. Lately, I have completed a post-graduate diploma in Clear Aligner Therapy.
I joined The Briars in 2007 and love many aspects of dentistry. As such, I have never sought to focus on one particular field or niche as I would miss the variety dentistry allows. I particularly enjoy working with the team of skilled clinicians and specialists that we have at The Briars.
I provide treatments that include cosmetic and restorative dentistry, mainly involving Invisalign® and digital smile design, and non-surgical facial aesthetics.

Lives in Kintbury with her husband Paul and their two boys. Outside work, she enjoys cooking, running with their dogs Jet and Jasper, and reading. Shares treatment examples on her personal Instagram @dr.victoria.holden.

First DSD Certified Clinic in England
The Briars Dental Centre is the first practice in England to be formally certified as a Digital Smile Design clinic — a recognition of complete adoption of the DSD methodology end-to-end.
The Briars Dental Centre has been established for over a century in Newbury — a longevity rare among modern private practices that gives The Briars deep roots in the local community.

Reception staff greet patients warmly and direct them to a comfortable, homely waiting room.
The dentist explains everything clearly and thoroughly, using technology to set patients' minds at ease. Time is taken to answer all questions. Nothing is rushed and patients are allowed to go at their own pace.
Following the consultation, a full written treatment plan with itemised costs is emailed to the patient. Follow-up bookings are made on the day where appropriate.
