Overview
I am a Dentist, Specialist in Prosthodontics (Fixed, Removable and Implant), Senior Clinical Lecturer and Consultant in Restorative Dentistry. I completed specialist clinical training in Restorative Dentistry and Prosthodontics with Distinction.
I completed my clinical PhD within two years in 2012. This investigated Tooth Wear and Dentine Hypersensitivity. I have particular clincial and research expertise in Tooth Wear and Restorative Dentistry have continued research in these areas for over 15 years. I have also produced clinical guidelines.
I have been teaching for over 16 years. I also undertake research and have experience of working within industry.
I have extensive experience in teaching and in clinical practice within Restorative Dentistry.
I have received several awards including National and International 1st Prizes, Grants and Publications for Tissue Research and Developmental Biology, Clinical Trials and Public Health. I have lectured internationally.
I undertook extensive Research to improve Oral and Dental Health, including in Craniofacial Science and Tooth Tissue Regeneration, Public Health, Clinical Trials and Restrative Dentistry at King's College London, University of Dundee and Cardiff University. I continue to undertake multiple further collaborative Clinical and Scientific work in Restorative Dentistry.
I have written over 40 journal publications and books.
I am also a RC Psychiatry accredited Positive Mental Health and Wellbeing Practitioner.
