Gary is a nationally recognised lecturer on dental Implants and gum treatment, having lectured both for the Dental training department in Manchester and internationally for the Royal College of Surgeons on the dental Implant diploma training program in Germany. He was also active in the initial foundation of The London Dental Implant Study Club that became the Association of Dental Implantology (ADI).
Since starting St Annes Dental Clinic (Fylde Coast Dental Implant Centre) in 1996 the clinic has grown to one of the most recognised referral centres on the Fylde Coast for dentists wishing specialist treatment for their patients in aspects of dental implants and gum treatment. It is one of only a handful of local dental clinics that has multi trained dental specialists permanently based at one clinical site. Gary is also passionately committed to providing high quality National Health Service dentistry for local patients in the North West and thus the clinic has expanded from a single dentist in 1996 to 7 dental surgeons today.
In his spare time Gary likes to spend time with his family, plays golf and sadly commits himself to further study in all matters dental.
