Henry qualified in Edinburgh in 1995, gaining his Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons in 1998. He has worked mainly in the hospital Oral Surgery service, but provides some specialist sessions to practices such as Gaskell Avenue. 

Henry has been our visiting specialist in Oral Surgery for over ten years now, skillfully and painlessly removing wisdom teeth, and carrying out other difficult surgical procedures at his monthly sessions. 

These procedures and restorative dentistry can sometimes be made simpler with the aid of Intravenous Sedation to reduce anxiety. Henry is fully qualified in the administration of sedation, and is assisted by our sedation trained nurse, Amanda. 

Away from dentistry Henry very much enjoys taking long walks and reading.
