Oasis Dental Care Ltd

Although I work alongside the team at The Trowbridge Dental Practice as an Implant referral practitioner I am the Lead dentist for The Gloucester Road Dental Practice and the Bishopston Implant referral practitioner. I qualified in 1983 at Guys Hospital London. After qualifying I continued to work at Guys and then worked in Kingston and Canterbury carrying out maxillofacial surgery and orthodontics. I moved to Bristol and worked in the Bristol Dental hospital and then in general practice carrying out further maxillofacial surgery and restorative dentistry.

I joined Bishopson Dental Care in 1993 and got involved with implants in 1997. I developed a special interest in implantology and have become a clinical coach and mentor for Astra. As an Implantologist I take referrals from both the wider Oasis family and from up to 40 other general practice dentists in the region. I also take referrals from other implantologists where I carry out advanced implant surgery such as sinus grafts.
