Gareth ThomasDentists

GDC - 153153 BDS Wales 2008 Dentist

Gareth focuses solely on endodontics at our practice. He has extensive experience completing complex endodontic treatment to referred patients in NHS hospital care and private referral practice.

Gareth graduated with honours from the Cardiff Dental School in 2008. Upon graduating, he completed vocational training in practice in South Wales. It was in this year his passion for endodontics developed, with a drive and enthusiasm for further advanced training.

Following completion of the Royal College of Surgeons MFDS examinations in 2010, Gareth completed a year-long advanced endodontics course at the University of Warwick followed by a three-year MSc in Clinical Endodontics at the University of South Wales. These courses combined scientific theory and practical training in completion of complex endodontic treatment delivered by leading endodontic academics.

Since completion of his MSc in 2015, Gareth has developed considerable experience in the management of patients requiring complex endodontic treatment. He spent a year working as a dentist in endodontics at the Royal London Dental Institute, and currently combines his role at the Mermaid Quay practice with his position as a senior dental officer in endodontics for the Powys Health Board.

He has also lectured on the topic of endodontics to dentists and postgraduate students for Cardiff University, University of South Wales, King’s College London, the Wales Deanery and the British Dental Association (BDA).

Over the past four years, Gareth’s clinical practice has evolved and has been limited to endodontics. He has acquired extensive experience providing complex endodontic treatment to referred patients in NHS hospital care and private referral practice.

He has helped to deliver endodontic education to undergraduate dental students at Cardiff University and presented endodontic educational events for the BDA and Wales Deanery.

Gareth is currently sitting his MRD endodontic examination in September at the Royal College of Surgeons England for his application to the endodontic specialist list.

No, orthodontics for adults is becoming more and more common. We can talk through your options with you.

We do understand that some people really struggle with dental treatment. But we have lots of ways to help put you at ease. Please just tell us how you feel and what worries you, and then we can work together to decide on the right approach.

Generally we recommend twice yearly check-ups every six months. However, this varies on a case by case basis. Your Bupa Dental Care dentist will talk to you about when and how often we need to see you.

Fillings repair small holes in your tooth enamel. If they aren’t filled, the decay will deepen. You’ll start to feel pain, and you could end up needing root canal treatment, which is much more significant and costs more. So although you might not feel pain right now, it’s best to repair these holes as soon as possible.
