Elizabeth Morris
Principal Dentist

Lizzie’s journey in dentistry began with her Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) from Birmingham University in 2008. She further honed her skills by completing a Master of Science (MSc) in Fixed and Removable Prosthodontics at the University of Manchester in 2015, where she gained the expertise to treat complex cases such as severe tooth wear. To expand her skills further, Lizzie pursued a Diploma in Clinical Periodontology at UCLAN in 2022, enabling her to effectively manage severe gum diseases for both her patients and those referred to her.

 

Lizzie leads the team at our practice, guiding and supporting her colleagues to ensure the highest standards of care.

What our patients say...
The Morris Dental staff are lovely, just what is required on a trip to the dentist! The dentist and nurses are extremely thorough, but no work is ever carried out unnecessarily. My most recent visit was to see the hygienist and I left with squeaky clean teeth! Having spent years avoiding the dentist, it was a relief to find Morris Dental Care and I'm now happy to attend regular appointments.

 

Catherine Byrne

My dentist at Morris Dental Care has been amazing with me. I hadn’t been to the dentist in over 4 years due to fear. She has talked me through every stage of my treatment. She has been caring, kind and gentle. I’m so grateful for the amazing care I have had with all her staff. Thank you for doing a brilliant job and I now no longer dread going to the dentist.
