Meet The Finney Lane Dental Care Team
Stephanie Buck BDS
Principle Dentist
GDC N0: 70574
Having qualified from Newcastle University in 1995, I spent a year working in Cumbria before moving back to the North West.
I have worked in several practices and joined the practice in Heald Green in 2014. I enjoy all aspects of general dentistry, priding myself in carrying out treatments to the highest standards. I believe prevention is better than cure and feel helping patients to maintain good oral hygiene is an important part of their routine check-ups. Seeing patients regularly over the years helps to build a good rapport, allowing them to have trust & confidence in me.
I like to keep up to date with Continued Professional Development and have recently completely a course on aesthetic restorations.
Outside work I enjoy going to the gym, spending time with my family & walking my beloved Labrador.
Sharon Wagstaff BA(Hons) DipSW
Practice Manager
Before joining the practice in November 2019, I have had over 20 years of experience working for the public sector as a social worker and in primary education. And 22 years as a mum.
It’s very important to me that the patient experience at Finney Lane Dental Care is a positive one, from the first telephone contact through to the completion of all treatments. I am here to support the dental team and offer excellent customer care to all of our patients.
In my free time, I enjoy long walks with my family, going to the theatre and museums, baking and cuddles with my cat Millie (on her terms of course!) I have also acquired two new pastimes during lockdown, yoga and running, which are definitely worth the challenge!
Sarah Sendagire-Kiweewa
Associate Dentist
GDC N0: 084393
I have a special interest in periodontics (gum disease) and implant surgery after acquiring an Msc Implantology (Edgehill University) and PG Diploma Periodontics (London Perio School). I dedicate much of my clinical time raising awareness of periodontal (gum) disease. Over the years have acquired multiple certificate courses inclusive of restorative dentistry and minor oral surgery.
I registered as a UK Dentist in 2004 and worked in the Midlands where I built up a wide range of experience in general dental practice and only recently relocated to Greater Manchester.
My calm nature has enabled me gain trust of anxious patients.
Outside Dentistry, I am a mother of 4 daughters and 2 sons. I enjoy Tilawat Al-Quran.
Rania Alrayas
Dental Therapist
I am a GDC-registered Dental Therapist with over 15 years of experience in dentistry, combining a strong dental background with a passion for facial aesthetics and skin health.
Originally trained as a dentist overseas, I have gained experience across both NHS and private dental practice, with a particular focus on periodontal therapy, hygiene treatments, preventive dentistry, patient education and delivering personalised, patient-centred care. I believe that every patient should feel comfortable, listened to and confident in their treatment plan.
Alongside my dental career, I have developed extensive experience in non-surgical facial aesthetics, with postgraduate Level 7 training.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending quality time with my family and making the most of my time with my children. I also enjoy travelling, exploring new places and experiencing different cultures. In my free time, I like to socialise with friends, discovering new restaurants and cafés, and taking time to relax and recharge.
Myehsa Zafar
Dental Therapist
Hi, my name is Myesha and I am a dental therapist at Finney Lane.
I am passionate about equipping my patients with all the tools needed to maintain their oral health at home. Dental treatment can be scary, so I also believe it is important to explain things in a simple way and build good relationships with my patients.
Like most, I have an incredibly sweet tooth and so spend a lot of my spare time trying out new dessert recipes. I love spending time with friends and family and finding new food and walking spots!
Heather Frew
Trainee Dental Nurse
Hello, my name is Heather and I am a Trainee Dental Nurse here at Finney Lane Dental Practice.
After receiving my 3 A-Levels in Psychology, Sociology and Theology from Aquinas College, I decided that dental nursing is what I am truly interested in.
Since starting in April 2025, I have already fallen in love with this profession as there is no better feeling than caring for others and I cannot wait to qualify and expand my knowledge further.
In my free time I love socialising with my friends and family and attempting to cuddle my extremely grumpy cat Peppa!
Hafsa Hussain
Trainee Dental Nurse
Hi, my name is Hafsa and I have been a trainee dental nurse here at Finney Lane since February 2026. I am really enjoying learning about dentistry and getting to know all of our lovely patients!
After my A levels, I worked as a healthcare assistant in a GP practice, which helped develop my passion for patient care and led me to finding and falling in love with this role.
In my spare time I like to read, journal and spend time with my family, friends and cats.
