Principal Dentist – New Street Dental Care
BDS (Guy’s, 1986) | GDC No. 61339
It is with deep sadness that we share the news of the passing of our beloved Principal Dentist, Dr. Julian Chen.
Julian was not only the heart and founder of New Street Dental Care, but also a respected clinician, mentor and friend to so many. With nearly 40 years in dentistry, he brought immense expertise, unwavering dedication and a deeply personal approach to patient care.
Julian qualified at Guy’s Dental School in 1986. He also served with pride in the Royal Engineers as part of the Territorial Army. His Dental career was marked by a passion for excellence and a commitment to innovation, particularly in restorative, cosmetic and implant dentistry.
More than anything, Julian’s dream was to create a modern, patient-focused practice grounded in family values and personal care. That vision came to life at New Street Dental Care, wwith his clinical team. Together, they built a practice where patients feel truly looked after and seen as individuals.
Julian also took great care and pride in handpicking our clinical team, each chosen not only for their skill and professionalism, but for their warmth, compassion, and shared values he had. We know how much Julian trusted them and we want to reassure you that they remain dedicated to continuing the high standard of care he was so passionate about. We hope you will place your trust in them, just as he did.
Outside of the practice, Julian had a rich and joyful life. He loved classic cars—especially Panther Cars—riding motorbikes, and was an enthusiastic dancer who enjoyed all forms of partnered dancing. His energy, generosity and care touched everyone who knew him. He will be deeply missed by patients, colleagues, friends, and family alike.
During this difficult time, we thank you for your continued support and kindness. Julian’s legacy lives on through the practice, the team he built and the many lives he touched throughout his remarkable career.
