Fastbraces, Invisalign and Inman Aligner practitioner

I have completed the Fastbraces course (2014), Inman Aligner course (2010) and been using
Clear Aligners since 2008. I have used these systems as a non-invasive way of straightening

patient’s teeth with good aesthetic results.

Magnification and clinical photography
My daily practice involves the routine use of a dental microscope. I have
attended many courses in clinical photography and I now routinely use a digital

SLR camera to aid in patient diagnosis and treatment planning.

Tooth whitening

As part of a patient’s treatment plan, I am happy to carry out tooth whitening and have used
both ‘In Surgery’ and take-home tooth whitening systems.

Adhesive Dentistry: I routinely use and have seen the benefits of minimally invasive techniques
such as resin bonded bridges, porcelain/composite inlays/onlays and composite bonding.

Oral surgery

I conduct routine and surgical extractions of all teeth, including wisdom teeth, as well as
endodontic apical surgery.

Teamwork skills

Being a Practice Principal has taught me how to manage difficult situations and develop my
interpersonal skills. This has helped enhance my leadership and multidisciplinary skills.
