Michael qualified from Guy’s Hospital in 1990. He trained in the maxillofacial surgery unit for two years at Royal Surrey County Hospital, Guildford and then went on to teach in the undergraduate program at the University of Sydney, where he became a clinical associate. He then enrolled in a three-year full-time master’s degree program at the University of Iowa (USA) in fixed, removable and implant retained prosthodontics.

His research into aesthetic ceramic materials won first place in the highest research prize from the American College of Prosthodontics. He was then awarded a scholarship at the University of Florida in a dedicated implant fellowship, and in 2002 he returned to the UK to run a specialist practice in Harley Street.

Michael is on the USA Embassy list of US trained dentists for recommendation to US nationals in the UK. Michael continues his interest in academia as well as the practical side of dentistry. He has lectured nationally and internationally on implant dentistry, and has recently been involved in research with the Dental School at the University of Illinois (USA) and University of Birmingham (UK) on novel treatments for tooth decay. He writes regular dental articles for the Daily Telegraph and has been featured on the BBC for his expertise.

Michael is a specialist in prosthodontics, which is the cosmetic and functional improvement of teeth, smile and bite. His ethos is to offer a kind, gentle approach, listening to the patient’s expectations and then tailoring an appropriate plan utilising the best skills and technology.

Michael has always enjoyed the aesthetic and practical side of dentistry, and Michael is proud to have won first prize in four Smile Awards categories: Interdisciplinary Smile, Single Implant Smile, Restorative Case Full Mouth and Denture Case Full Overdenture.
