Description of Speaker:
I qualified from King’s College London in the UK in 1992 and am a partner at Dental Elegance in Sidcup, Kent where I practice minimally invasive aesthetic and restorative dentistry. I have a special interest in simple orthodontics using removable appliances and am the first dentist in the world to use the Inman Aligner as a major tool for cosmetic dentistry. As of present, I have completed nearly 1000 cases using orthodontic appliances as a stand alone treatment and to align teeth before further aesthetic dentistry. Furthermore, I am the world’s leading Inman Aligner Clinician and Clinical Trainer. I currently lecture nationally and internationally on the subject and run a hands-on program to teach general dentists this new technique.

My aspiration is to change the way cosmetic dentistry is approached and practiced by moving more general dental practitioners towards simple orthodontics and ethical techniques that facilitate minimally or non-invasive cosmetic dentistry. My goal is to widen the accessibility of aesthetic and quality dentistry to far more patients through the education of far more dentists, through an honest and ethical approach to dentistry.

Currently, I am Past President of the British Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry and have been on the Board of Directors since its inception in 2003. My principle main focus at the moment is to help develop affiliations between other parts of the profession and the British Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry to ensure the best options are available for our patients. I have also been invited to sit on the Editorial Board of Dental Update, one of Europe’s leading Peer reviewed journals. I am also on the Board of the European Society of Aesthetic Orthodontics.
