    Dr Peter Knops qualified in 1991 and is highly experienced in all aspects of general dentistry. He is known for his empathetic approach and always strives to do the very best for his patients, supporting them through difficult decisions and helping them feel confident in their treatment choices. Pete completed his Diploma in General Dental Practice (RCS) in 1995 and is a member of both the College of General Dentistry and the Local Dental Committee. He is also deeply involved in the development of newly qualified dentists and has been an Educational Supervisor for more than 20 years, guiding and mentoring the next generation of clinicians. Pete owned the practice for 29 years before recently passing the baton to mydentist. Although he has stepped back from ownership, he remains very much involved in the practice and continues to support the team and patients with the same dedication. Outside of dentistry, Pete enjoys spending time outdoors and has a passion for rock climbing. He also values the joy and surprises brought by his wife, his three grown‑up children and two step‑children.

He takes a gentle and understanding approach and is always committed to helping patients feel comfortable and at ease throughout their treatment. Outside of dentistry, Mark is a huge fan of Celtic Football Club; he enjoys going to games when he is home but never misses one on TV. He is happy to talk about the score... But only when it is a win. Mark also enjoys spending time with friends and family, going to the gym, hiking, and going out to meals.
