Meet the team

I graduated from Newcastle University Dental School in 1991. I joined the team at Sharoe Green Dental Practice in March 1998 and became Principal of the practice in October 2001. I co-own the Practice with my wife Lesley, who manages the practice leaving me more time to spend treating patients.

I have studied for a postgraduate diploma in restorative and cosmetic dentistry at UCLAN, achieving the award, with merit, in November 2012, and I have recently successfully passed the MJDF exam.

I enjoy all aspects of general dentistry and place huge emphasis on helping our patients achieve and maintain good oral health. I believe that good oral health is essential to a person’s general wellbeing. I am also interested in more advanced dental treatments and how they can benefit our patients, especially the use of dental implants to replace missing teeth, and also smile alignment therapy using Invisalign.

I began placing Implants in 2002 having completed a 12-month training course at Trafford General Hospital. I keep up-to-date with the latest trends and advancements in implant technology and treatment, and I have always remained loyal to the world-renowned Straumann Dental Implant System. In January 2014, I attended masterclass course at the University of Bern in Switzerland, with some of the leaders in Straumann research and development. I had the opportunity to witness first hand some fantastic implant surgery by one of the world’s leading implantologists, Professor Daniel Buser. The knowledge and skills I gained in Bern is now being put to good use here in Preston.

My other passion is improving patient’s smiles with Invisalign, the clear alternative to braces. I became a certified Invisalign provider in 2008 and I am a Platinum Status Elite Invisalign provider. I have now treated well over 500 patients using the Invisalign technique with fantastic results. Being able to give people the confidence to smile again is a real buzz for me.

Away from the practice, I love spending time with my wife and family, especially going for long walks with our two dogs, Meg and Monte. We enjoy spending time in the Lake District. I am also a keen sports fan, especially rugby union and cricket.
