Cornelius Krause

Principal Dentist, BDS

Cornelius Krause of CK Dental graduated from Freie Universitaet Berlin, one of the best dental schools in Germany. In his time in Germany, he worked with internationally renowned dentists to enhance his knowledge and practice of minimal-invasive dentistry as well as cosmetic dentistry.

His passion for the latest technology and its implication in day-to-day dentistry for the benefit of the patient could not entirely be satisfied until the opening of CK Dental where patients can now benefit from the latest technology together with his calm and gentle approach, vast experience and reassurance.

Sheryl Krause

Business Director & Practice Manager

Sheryl was Hospital Director at the Nuffield Hospital in Bristol before she left to start her family and joined Cornelius in running CK Dental.

Sheryl’s focus is on patient experience which, surprisingly given that she is married to a dentist, stems from her own nervousness of the dentist. With over 20 years management and team leadership experience within the Health and Wellbeing sector, she knows the importance of putting patients at the heart of what they do. This is why the husband-and-wife team have deliberately created a calm and welcoming reception for families at their new dental clinic.

There he completed a Masters degree in dental research which led him to study dentistry at Bristol Dental School where he qualified in 2007. He then worked for fifteen years at a busy dental practice in Stroud where he met our Principal Dentist, Cornelius.

He enjoys the many challenges of general dentistry, and is a firm believer that prevention is fundamental to the management of good oral health. Nick enjoys building a good rapport and trust with patients, and supporting them to take care of their oral health.

This may be simply optimising dental health for some, or for others, this could be changing the appearance of teeth for a smile to be proud of. Whatever your concern, she will be able to help. In a calm and relaxed setting, she will provide you with a first-class experience at CK Dental.
