Show biography»

I qualified from Sheffield in 1987 and moved to Kent in 1994, working at his current practice since 1998, becoming a co-owner in 2002 and achieving Denplan Excel Accreditation in 2004.

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 created the exclusivesmiles.co.uk brand to showcase the best that modern dentistry has to offer. 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. I am honoured to have been asked by Paul Tipton to act as a Study Club Chairperson for the British Academy of Restorative Dentistry

Why should I do the Level 7 Diploma in Implant Prosthodontics?

The Level 7 Diploma in Implant & Prosthodontics is a live patient course that provides an opportunity to increase your knowledge of Implant dentistry and key elements of restorative dentistry. It is most suited for dentists who want to enter private dentistry and are keen to setup their practice around implant dentistry.

What is the benefit of doing Level 7 Diploma in Implant Prosthodontics and not just to the Level 7 Certificate in Restorative Dentistry and Level 7 Certificate in Dental Implantology?

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 a standard format and complete it within 12 to 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 Implant Prosthodontics?

Yes, you can. The Level 7 Diploma in Implant & Prosthodontics contains Units covered in the Level 7 Certificate in Restorative Dentistry and Level 7 Certificate in Dental Implantology. 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.
