Favourite Part Of The Job

My biggest interest is in the rehabilitation of patients who require extensive multidisciplinary dentistry. I take pride in utilising my specialist skill set to carry out treatments to the highest standard, in order to achieve long–term predictable outcomes. I have an eye for detail and will aim to address the cosmetic concerns relating to a patient’s smile as well as ensure the treatment is in harmony with the functional requirements of their dentition. I particularly enjoy treating anxious patients and slowly increasing their confidence in visiting the dentist by putting them at ease with my calm patient manner and communication skills.
