About Me

Eager Practitioner | Passionate Educator | Curious Learner

​

Background

I am a British dentist, with over twenty years of experience. I graduated from St Bartholomew's and the Royal London Hospital, School of Medicine and Dentistry in 2001 and am currently based in Dubai. Amazing opportunities, family life and the weather are some of the reasons that were the deciding factors in relocating from my hometown of Ealing, London to Dubai, UAE.

Career

I have experienced working in both the NHS and private sector in the UK and have loved both areas of dentistry. For the past four years I have been based in Dubai. In particular, throughout my career I have enjoyed seeing how my patients; young and old, with the support of good dental care, have flourished through the encouragement of positive behaviour and improved their oral health. 

As well as daily dental practice, I also help teach postgraduate courses to dentists in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, with CAPP-Tipton Training. This has allowed me to be mentored by the greats of British dentistry, like Professor James Prichard and others. It is a privilege to be able to learn from these amazing mentors and work alongside them to teach future generations of dentists.

Approach

Daily dentistry for me is not just about treating people but also meeting people from different backgrounds and cultures, getting to know them and building a relationship of trust. This in turn means that my patient and I can work together to achieve good oral health and long-lasting aesthetic or cosmetic results. My ethos and philosophy for when treating patients is to treat them as I would my own family.  

Lifelong Learning

The pursuit of knowledge has become a habit. A passionate lifelong learner, I have continued my professional education and training in various disciplines including aesthetic dentistry and endodontics. I stay abreast of advancements in the dental world by attending courses and have completed a Postgraduate Certificate and Diploma in Clinical Endodontics, as well as Part 1 of the Certificate and Diploma in Restorative and Aesthetic Dentistry. Currently I am reading a Master’s in Advanced Restorative Dentistry at the University of Manchester. 

Postgraduate education has put me in a unique position to provide quality, long-lasting treatments to patients. I am skilled at helping nervous and anxious patients through treatments and believe in educating my child patients from an early age to get them into good habits and practices to help prevent phobias and dental health problems later in life. All the places I have worked, I make sure that I have a good support team, who are available to provide treatments adjunctive to my work.

Other Interests

As well as having a love for the sciences, I have pursued other interests and completed a BA in Humanities (Classical Studies) as well as completing Part 1 of the Graduate Diploma in Law. I would eventually like to read a Master’s in Classical Civilization.
