As a specialist in prosthodontics, I provide care for patients in need of the restoration and replacement of damaged or missing teeth. The best part of my job is seeing the confidence boost my patients get after allowing me to rejuvenate their teeth. Repaying the trust my patients place in me is always at the forefront of my mind and I consider this a privilege. I achieve this by meticulously planning every detail before embarking on a treatment plan. I work with some of the brightest and most forward thinking dental technicians in the UK using the latest technology to achieve the best possible outcomes.
I qualified from Dublin, Ireland, and have worked in general, hospital and referral practice since. My speciality training allin prosthodontics was completed at the world famous Guy's Dental Institute in London where I qualified with a distinction. In addition to this, I dedicate a vast of amount of time to teaching and mentoring younger colleagues to support them in their own journeys. Finally, I am a key opinion leader for GC, an industry-leading dental materials company.

What I Do
Why See A Prosthodontist?
After graduating and working in general practice, specialist prosthodontists spend years completing additional training to extremely high standards. These standards are set by the General Dental Council and examined by the Royal College of Surgeons. There are only a few accredited training programmes in the whole of the UK and the examining process is recognised internationally. The training requires an almost obsessive level of dedication and is structured to include over-the-shoulder training from recognised specialists and consultants. I believe it is this attention to detail which separates specialist prosthodontists from most general practitioners. In essence, no stone is left unturned in the planning and execution of your care. The extra training required is accompanied by academic learning at Master's or Doctorate level. The experience dealing with the most complex cases referred to hospital setting enables specialists to deal confidently with the requirements of the patients we see in the general population.
