General Dentist with Special Interest in:

• Sedation

• Dental Implants

• Oral Surgery

Alex is one of the senior dentists at Apple and has been working here since 2004. He has a wealth of experience with enhanced skills in Sedation, Dental Implants and Oral Surgery.  He accepts new referrals for all forms of Advanced Dentistry including Dental Implants and Minor Oral Surgery (Dental Extractions). For any anxious new patients he offers sedation. Conscious sedation in dentistry enables patients to undergo any daunting procedure painlessly and completely unaware of the procedure being provided. Alex has provided sedation for almost 25 years in hospital and dental practice and has an excellent patient satisfaction record. 

Many new patients are apprehensive when it comes to dental treatment, particularly if they haven't been to the dentist for several years. Alex accepts all new patients and his gentle, reassuring approach instills confidence in his patients. 

In addition to his own registered patients, Alex has accepted over 5000 referrals from other dentists over the last 15 years for all forms of treatment with or without sedation. 

Alex qualified from the University of Glasgow in 1998 and was awarded Bachelor of Dental Surgery with Commendation. His professional career commenced in Cornwall where he received further training as a Senior House Officer in Oral and Facial Surgery. This culminated in the Membership Examination for the Faculty of Dental Surgeons at the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow.  

He has a particular interest in helping patients overcome any anxiety with the aid of sedation and has completed the Diploma in Conscious Sedation at Newcastle University.

In 2006 Alex left a long-term position as a Staff Grade Oral Surgeon in Hospital to concentrate solely on Dental Practice. He was one of the first Dentists in the South West to undertake and be awarded the Diploma in Implant Dentistry at the Royal College of Surgeons and has been placing Dental Implants at Apple for over 15 years.

In recognition of his high clinical and professional standards, Alex was made a Fellow by the Dental Faculty of the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow in 2017. He was also made a Fellow of the College of General Dentistry in 2022.

He is a member of The International Team for Implantology (ITI), The Society for the Advancement of Anaesthesia in Dentistry (SAAD) and the British Association of Oral Surgeons (BAOS). His gentle, relaxed manner and unhurried approach inspires confidence in his patients and reassures them during treatment.
