Meet the clinician
With nearly a decade of clinical experience, my approach to dentistry is built on a simple ethos: treating every patient with the same care and attention that I would give my own friends and family. Whether I am seeing you for your first dental health check or completing a smile makeover, my goal is to ensure that you feel relaxed and looked after. I take particular pride in helping anxious patients rediscover their confidence at the dentist through a gentle approach and comfortable, modern techniques.

A Biomimetic Approach to Your Smile
My clinical passion lies in Advanced Restorative and Biomimetic Dentistry. Unlike traditional "drill and fill" methods, biomimetic dentistry focuses on mimicking the natural properties of your teeth. By using high-magnification vision and precision technology, I work to preserve as much of your natural tooth structure as possible, ensuring restorations that are not only beautiful but built to last.
To provide this level of care, I’ve invested in the latest dental innovations, including:
- Digital Scanners: For comfortable, "impression-free" planning.
- Clinical Photography: I use macro photography to help you see what I see, ensuring you are fully informed and involved in every decision.
- Precision Engineering: Using electric motors and ultrasonic tools for quieter, more comfortable, and highly accurate tooth preparations.
Committed to Excellence
My dedication to the craft goes beyond the clinic. As a former Educational Supervisor, I have a deep passion for teaching and mentoring within the dental community. I am an active member of leading clinical forums and regularly attend advanced courses to stay at forefront of dental advancements. This learning for life mindset ensures that my patients always benefit from the most evidence-based, modern treatments available.
I look forward to meeting you and your family, and helping you achieve a healthy, functional, and radiant smile.
Outside of work, I love exploring National Trust sites with my wife and two young daughters and I am a keen photographer.
Treatments and services
Comprehensive dental check-ups including oral cancer screenings, facial and chewing muscle assessments, and patient education.
Combining the latest in dental material and adhesive sciences, we utilise fiber-reinforced composite white restorations or Emax custom ceramics to restore heavily broken down teeth to their original strength and aesthetics.
Minimal preparation layered composite techniques to enhance symmetry, contour and brightness of teeth with a seamless finish.
Tailored whitening to each your enamel type and sensitivity levels, selecting safe, evidence-based systems to achieve a bright but natural shade.
Whilst traditional white crowns require 1.5mm of tooth removal at the margins, our advanced Vertiprep technique requires only 0.3mm whilst maintaining the same strength and aesthetics. This ultra-conservative approach keeps your natural tooth structure intact, significantly reducing sensitivity and maximising the long-term strength and longevity of your smile.
High-resolution clinical photography and 3D intraoral scanning to map your unique dental proportions. This data-driven assessment allows us to engineer a smile that harmonises perfectly with your individual facial features.
