Fillings
Today’s modern diet is unkind to our teeth and unless we have a great dental home care routine, the chances are at some point you may need a filling.
A filling is the removal of caries or decay from the surface of the tooth and ‘filled’ with either amalgam (silver) or composite (white filling) material. Both are strong and effective at protecting your teeth.
It is more common for white fillings to be used on front teeth for aesthetic reasons and silver fillings on the back teeth for strength.
If you have silver fillings and would like them replacing for aesthetic reasons, we can do this on a private treatment basis.
I qualified from the University of Newcastle upon Tyne in 2013, with Merit in Clinical Dentistry and the NEMLS prize. I then completed my foundation training year, and was awarded the FGDP prize. I joined Linden Cottage in 2022, and also act as Clinical Lead within the practice.
I have always been committed to postgraduate education, and in 2019 passed membership examinations with the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh. I enjoy providing a very wide range of general and aesthetic dental treatments, examples of which are available on my Instagram page.
I hold a Postgraduate Diploma in Endodontics (Root Canal Treatment) and work with the benefit of a state-of-the-art operating microscope. This often allows me to save teeth, that may have otherwise been extracted.
Outside of work, I’m a keen musician. I enjoy reading and travelling with my wife, Zeynep.
