      Jack Ellis

      Dr. Jack Ellis

      Dentist
      BDS (Lond) 2007
      GDC No. 128666

      After graduating from King’s College London in 2007, I returned to South-East Wales and spent over a decade working in mixed general dental practices before joining Pembrokeshire Dental Care in 2019.

      My clinical interests cover all aspects of general dentistry, with a particular focus on evidence-based restorative care and modern, minimally invasive techniques. I’m committed to ongoing professional development and have undertaken extensive postgraduate training, including Bioclear composite bonding. I was recently awarded an MSc in Advanced Specialist Healthcare (Applied Clinical Dental Practice) from the University of Kent and hold a Postgraduate Diploma in Contemporary Restorative and Aesthetic Dentistry.

      One of the most rewarding aspects of my work is the privilege of being part of the community I care for. It’s a pleasure to build lasting relationships with patients and support their long-term oral health.

      Outside of dentistry, I enjoy spending time with my young family. When time allows, I like to stay active and pursue hobbies such as martial arts, landscape photography, and being out on the water—either kayaking or rowing with the local sea rowing club.

      Dr. Keith McFarlane

      Dentist
      BDS (Dundee) 1999
      GDC No. 76411

      Keith graduated from Dundee Dental School in 1999 and has been working in a mixed private practice for the last 19 years in highland Perthshire, Scotland. During this time Keith has worked across all aspects of general dentistry and has undertaken several post graduate courses and has developed a special interest in more advanced dentistry techniques including crowns, bridges and implants. Over the last 12 years Keith has been delivering facial aesthetic treatments to patients to help roll back the years with anti-wrinkle injections and dermal fillers.

      Keith is moving to Wales with his wife, two sons and two spaniels and they are all very much looking forward to exploring the gorgeous countryside and becoming a beach family. He may even have to try paddle boarding!

      DENTAL NURSE
      DIPLOMA IN DENTAL NURSING LEVEL 3 QCF CITY & GUILDS 2016
      GDC NO. 267910

      I’ve been part of the team since September 2011. I began my nursing career in 1990 and qualified as a dental surgery assistant in 1992. In addition to this qualification I studied for an additional year and qualified as an Oral Health Educator in 1993. I am currently studying for a further qualification in dental radiography, and I am also keen to increase my knowledge of impression taking. I thoroughly enjoy my career as no two days are ever the same.

      My hobbies include sea kayaking, cycling, walking the coastal paths and mountains. In the evening I enjoy relaxing by the log burner with a glass of red wine (or two) and a good book.

      I started my dentistry career with Portmandentex in 2023 and am proud to share that I qualified as a dental nurse this year. I am dedicated to delivering high-quality patient care and continuously improving my professional skills. I am always looking at ways to expand my knowledge and welcome every opportunity to undertake further training, including radiography, impressions and fluoride varnish courses, to strengthen my clinical abilities and support my team more effectively.

      In my spare time, I enjoy painting, drawing, and exploring new places. I also recently adopted two cats, who add a lot of joy and personality to my home life.

      Bethany Valentine

      TRAINEE DENTAL NURSE

      Hiya my name is Bethany. About 6 months ago, I did a complete career flip from hospitality to training to be a dental nurse at Pembrokeshire Dental Care, and I couldn't be happier. I am formerly a Llandysul girl but moved to Cardigan about 2 years ago to open more career opportunities. Outside of work, I am quite content cozying up at home with a good series and a fluffy blanket, but I do also enjoy going on peaceful walks on the beach and a cheeky shopping trip now and again. In the future, I hope to qualify as a dental nurse, gain some experience, and then perhaps venture into orthodontic therapy or dental hygiene :)

      Mari Evans

      Receptionist

      I consider myself to be friendly, approachable and understanding. I am professional and take pride in my job keeping patients comfortable. I speak Welsh, English and conversational Spanish.

      I have volunteered extensively with orphans and underprivileged children in Cambodia teaching them English, singing and hula hooping. When I volunteered in this third world country it changed my life and outlook, I feel passionate about helping others less fortunate than myself.

      In my spare time I love to walk my best friend ‘Badger’! I also love books and films.
