Biography:
Ian qualified from Queens University Belfast in 1987. He gained his MFGDP from the Royal College of surgeons in 1996, and his final diploma, his DRDP from the University of London in 2007. He has a keen interest in orthodontics, with a particular emphasis on a more orthopaedic approach to this discipline. This frequently means he will be less inclined to remove premolar teeth to make space. Among his other interests are Root Canal work and Dental Implants. Ian also offers sedation for dentally phobic patients. Ian has recently started providing fixed appliance therapy with the DAMON system which he has found to be much more patient-friendly than other systems. "Extract for the face, not for the space" is his basic philosophy, as by using DAMON Q brackets it is extremely rare he has to extract healthy teeth to make space as traditional orthodontics tends to do.
