Over the last two decades, I have placed more than 10,000 dental implants, transforming the smiles — and lives — of hundreds of patients through advanced reconstruction, full-arch rehabilitation, and immediate same-day implant solutions.
I am the founder and academic lead of the UK’s only EduQual-accredited Level 11 Postgraduate Diploma in Implant Dentistry, a Master’s-equivalent programme designed to train dentists in complex and evidence-based implant protocols.
For over 10 years, I have taught and mentored dentists at postgraduate level, guiding them through the academic and clinical journey of implant dentistry.
I actively collaborate with implant manufacturers and work with global R&D teams on implant geometry, surface development, and biomechanical optimisation — with a particular focus on solutions for atrophic ridges, immediate implant placement, prosthetic stability, and same-day loading.
My clinical passion lies in:
✨ Immediate extraction & implant placement with same-day loading
✨ Management of severe bone loss and complex atrophic ridges
✨ Digitally guided full-arch and same-day fixed smile rehabilitation
✨ Innovating simplified and predictable techniques for long-term success
I remain dedicated to ethical, academic, and digitally driven implant dentistry — combining surgical precision, advanced planning, and compassionate patient care.
