For over 20 years I have sought out the best teachers in the world in cosmetic, reconstructive and functional dentistry to gain the skills that I now offer patients at Sturry Dental Practice in Canterbury, Kent.

I also provide sessions at Sittingbourne Memorial Hospital for Medway Community Healthcare as a Dental Officer treating special needs patients.

As a previous full member of the British Academy of Cosmetic dentistry (BACD), I have experience in treating all type of cosmetic problems from simple tooth whitening to full smile makeovers. In the past I have been a member of the BACD membership, communication and congress committees. I have a reputation for a conservative approach to dentistry that will offer long term aesthetic results from the minimum of intervention; this can be seen with my use of various brace systems to align teeth prior to a final makeover.

I have a special interest in the treatment of head, neck and facial pain and its relation to poor jaw function and am a member of the British Society of Occlusal Studies (BSOS) which exists to help practitioners treat and prevent these common problems. Membership is by invitation only to practising dentists who have completed an arduous training programme which typically takes five years. I have lectured on the subject to other dentists and technicians and provided hands on courses on Facebow use and jaw registration.

I am an “opinion leader” for Ivoclar Vivadent and lecture and tutor hands on courses for them on Composites, Cements and tooth preparation for the Emax ceramic system.

I like to help people to understand what dentistry can offer them and as the No1 ‘Active Dentist’ on the award-winning patient education website All About Teeth (allaboutteeth.co.uk), spend time answering the public’s questions regarding their dental concerns. I am also a member of the Association of Dental Implantology UK (ADI, visit adi.org.uk), a registered charity dedicated to providing the profession with continuing implant education and the public with a greater understanding of the benefits of dental implants. I am a full member of the Tipton Training Dental Academy which provides me with the latest dental scientific knowledge and clinical techniques.

Why should I do the Level 7 Diploma in Aesthetic Dentistry?

The Level 7 Diploma in Aesthetic Dentistry teaches you the theory behind Restorative Dentistry and then allows you to put it into practice the very next day with advanced Aesthetic Treatments. The range of treatments you’ll feel confident in offering will increase massively by enrolling on to this course. The two components of the course complement each other perfectly. You will taught the theoretical foundations developed over many years in the form of scientific papers. You will then take the knowledge gained in fundamental areas such as Occlusion to ensure that the Aesthetic treatments you provide do not fail.

What is the benefit of doing Level 7 Diploma and not just to the Level 7 Certificate in Restorative Dentistry and Level 7 Certificate in Operative Dentistry?

The benefits of doing a Level 7 Diploma when compared to doing the separate Level 7 Certificates is firstly that you will save approximately 6% on course fees. More importantly, should you choose to do the Level 7 Diploma in an accelerated format and complete it within 18 months you can also reap the advantages of improved treatment delivery earlier. You can choose any options you feel suitable as Tipton Training has a Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) policy which will ensure that your existing education within another Tipton Training course is taken into consideration. It is important to note that every time you do a Level 7 Diploma or a Level 7 Certificate you must pay additional registration fees. So, should you choose to register for each course separately, you are paying 3 registrations fees. The flip side is you also get 3 certificates. It all depends on what your ambitions are.

I have done to Level 7 Certificate in Restorative Dentistry previously can I join the Level 7 Diploma for the Aesthetic element?

Yes, you can. The Level 7 Diploma in Aesthetic Dentistry contains Units covered in the Level 7 Certificate in Restorative Dentistry and Level 7 Certificate in Aesthetic Dentistry. Essentially you can do the Level 7 Diploma if you have completed any one of those courses. Tipton Training has a Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) policy which will ensure that your existing education within another Tipton Training course is taken into consideration. Please speak to our course advisor for further details.
