About me

I have been a dentist for over 45 years, practising general dentistry which includes fillings, crowns, bridges, root fillings, dentures and extractions.

I have had a varied career including owning my own practice for 25 years. During part of this time I also had an interest in a dental laboratory. I was also very involved with the training of dental nurses, being a member of the panel of examiners for their national examination for 20 years, as well as running an evening class training course for them. I have also written articles for dental journals and given lectures.

After leaving my own practice I worked at what was the Dental Practice Board here in Eastbourne. This was an off-shoot of the Department of Health administering NHS dentistry in England and Wales. While at the Board I was Manager of Monitoring and Compliance, running computer systems to detect fraud in the NHS dental services. After six years there I took early retirement and went back to do part time clinical work in other dentists' practices.

Inbetween times I qualified as a Lead Auditor for ISO9000 Quality Management Systems and did audits of, mainly, dental laboratories. As well as my part time dental practice work I am currently a panel member of the General Dental Council's private patients' complaints system.

I do have a particular interest in providing patients with a nice appearance. I don't use metal (silver) fillings any more, using only tooth coloured ('white') filling materials. You can see examples of these in the Cosmetic fillings section.

The practice where I work also provides several other services - click on the links to the left.

They will give you all the information you need to have a complete dental experience to enhance and maintain your oral health and appearance.
