This website was designed for my patients as an informative and supportive guide. It highlights key facts, answers some questions that patients ask me, and directs you to trusted sources of information.
I qualified from Liverpool dental school in 2010. Since then I have worked in a number of dental practices across the midlands, and have a wealth of experience in general dentistry. Over the last 8 years I have focussed a lot of my further training in periodontology, the treatment of gum disease. I have completed a three-year master’s degree in clinical periodontology at the University of Central Lancashire, and treat patients with more complex periodontal conditions. I found myself dealing with increasing numbers of dental implant problems and over the last year have completed a yearlong course in dental implants at the Campbell Clinic in Nottingham to enable me to place and better treat implant problems.
I believe in working with patients to help stabilise and improve their condition with an evidence-based treatment approach. I am a member of the British Society of Periodontology, the ITI ( International Team of Implantology) and regularly attend post graduate training to remain at the forefront of emerging knowledge.
Aside from dentistry I enjoy cooking and trying to keep fit.
