Summary
I have been practising general dentistry for over 20 years. My working experiences are in both capacities - currently an associate but also co - owned my own private practice for 10 years.
I am passionate about restorative dentistry , but as a general dentist I like treating my patients comprehensively for whatever there needs may be. I often work alongside specialist in different fields of dentistry in order to give my patients the best treatment outcome possible.
I like to believe that I provide a high quality of overall dental care to all my patients and truly value my professional relationship with them.
