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.
Javeria Ahmed
Associate Dentist
GDC N0: 244004
I qualified from the University of Bristol in 2013 before moving to Manchester to complete a year of further training in general dentistry. Since then, I’ve worked across various locations in the UK, from London to Halifax, gaining experience in general and cosmetic dentistry. I’ve also completed a year-long Comprehensive Functional Aesthetic Dentistry course to further develop my skills in creating healthy, natural-looking smiles.
I’m passionate about providing patient-centred care and making sure every patient feels comfortable, listened to and confident in their smile. I’m a certified C-fast and Fastbraces practitioner and have also trained with leading practitioners on Harley Street in facial aesthetics, including wrinkle reduction treatments.
Outside of dentistry, I’m kept busy by my two little ones, who make sure there’s never a dull moment!
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.
