North Wales Dentists

Dylan was brought up in Caernarfon and moved down to Cardiff in 2001, where he had the chance to combine his love for rugby with studying Dentistry. After enjoying his time in the city for 10 years, Dylan moved back to North Wales to be closer to his family, and started to work in Penrhyn as a Dentist.

In 2015, Dylan bought Glandwr Dental Practice. Since then it has grown substantially, and has expanded the team with many new additions, including his wife. They now have three beautiful children and still reside in Caernarfon.

Every single member of the team at Glandwr brings a unique skill set to the mix, which makes it such a pleasurable working environment. By 2018, Glandwr had outgrown the current premises. There was a large local demand for a dentist which provided both cosmetic services and cutting edge dentistry. This allowed Dylan to open a new branch in Pwllheli.

Dylan thoroughly enjoys getting to know all of his patients, whilst offering them a full range of general dentistry. However, his passion is in cosmetic dentistry. Dylan enjoys being able to transform something as unique and personal as a smile. He is excited to see what the future of dentistry will bring, and will continue to strive to have Glandwr at the forefront.

Born and bred around the Caernarfon area, Lois studied Dentistry at Leeds University and then moved back to North Wales. After working at the hospital and community centres, Lois came to work at Deintyddfa Glandwr in 2015. Here, she met her husband, Dylan, and they now have 3 beautiful children; Magi, Eli and Loti, and live in Caernarfon. Lois thoroughly enjoys working at Glandwr, mainly due to the great team.

She plans to specialise further in a particular dental field once her girls are older, but for now she enjoys doing general dentistry.

In her spare time, Lois plays hockey for Caernarfon Ladies and enjoys spending time with family and friends.

Originally from Bontnewydd, Annest attended Ysgol Syr Hugh Owen, and following various work experiences and some suggestions from her mother, she went on to study dentistry.

Annest graduated from Cardiff University in 2007. She stayed in Cardiff to complete her vocational training before travelling to Australia. There, she worked as a dentist for Queensland Health, and was based in Cairns. Her duties included working as a school and community dentist, as well as a dentist alongside the Flying Doctors to provide dental care in remote areas. After 6 months, she took the rest of the year purely to travel; this included more of Australia, as well as New Zealand, Fiji, Samoa, and South America.

Annest returned to North Wales in 2009 and felt she needed more hospital experience. She completed 6 months training in the MaxilloFacial department in the Gwynedd and Glan Clwyd Hospitals, before spending another 6 months with the Community Dental Service.

In October 2010, Annest met her partner Rhys, and also started working in Deintyddfa Glandwr. She has been stuck with both ever since – more or less!

Having experienced a few years in practice, Annest wanted a new challenge and therefore enrolled on a Postgraduate Certificate course in Dental Sedation and Pain management at UCL. She took examinations in London 6 days before the due date of her daughter (who was safely born back in Wales) in November 2018. She completed the course whilst on maternity leave, and is now happy to provide sedation for any anxious patients.

Annest and Rhys live with their daughter Elena, close to Rhys’ family farm near Dolgellau. Her spare time is spent helping with various jobs on the farm or catching up with friends and family.
