Tom graduated from Plymouth Dental School. He then completed three years of Core Training in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in Hospitals across England and Scotland.
He went on to work as a Specialty Dentist at the Royal National ENT and Eastman Dental Hospitals. Following this, he completed three years of Specialist Training in Oral Surgery at the Eastman Dental Hospital and East Surrey Hospital.
Tom can provide a full range of Oral Surgery procedures, with a focus on complex and surgical extractions, including impacted wisdom teeth. He also provides intravenous (IV) sedation, which means nervous patients can have treatment they might otherwise avoid or wait months for in a Hospital setting.
