Meet the team

David Chapman
Practice Owner
Originally from the Northwest of England, I trained at Guys (UMDS) in London and moved to the South West fifteen years ago. I’ve worked in general practice for most of that time, but did spend a year as an SHO in the Oral Surgery Department in Taunton’s Musgrove Park hospital.
I really enjoy my chosen career, the challenges and the fact that every day is different. The best parts of my job are putting nervous patients at ease and carrying out cosmetic work that enables people to smile again. Shortly after starting work at Trinity House in 2013, I was presented with the opportunity to buy the practice. The sale took a long time to go through but since January 2015 I’ve been enjoying being my own boss.
I love to travel when I get the opportunity, the more out-of-the-way, the better. At home I garden, read, paint scale models and when the weather co-operates, I get my telescope out for a bit of stargazing.

Tara Williams
Practice Manager
Hi, I’m Tara, my career has always been in dentistry since my first job as a dental nurse in 1996 I then went on to pass my national certificate for dental nurses in 1998. I have worked in a variety of practices and I joined Trinity House in 2014 initially as a dental nurse and although I enjoyed my years as a dental nurse, I also welcomed the challenges of practice management. Since taking on my role as practice manager at Trinity house I have increased my knowledge and learning further by completing a Management Diploma and as well as a HR Diploma, I have found the two coursed both challenging but enjoyable.
I have three wonderful children and a grandson which takes up a lot of my spare time. I have three dogs a young energetic whippet cross and two aging Romanian rescue dogs who enjoy long walks and play time. In my quiet time when I find some I like to sit and spent time completing needle craft and baking for my family.
