Mark has placed and restored over 3000 implants making him one of the most experienced implantologists in the UK. He has lectured nationally on implantology, tooth wear, and occlusion, enabling other clinicians to provide better care to their patients and also lectured internationally on peri-implantitis (a condition that affects implants).

Conor's journey in dentistry began at the prestigious University of Sheffield in 2012. After completing his dental foundation training in Newport, Wales, he chose to remain in South Wales as a dental associate, immersing himself in the needs of high-need patients.

Conor qualified from the University of Sheffield in 2012. He completed his dental foundation training in Newport, Wales and then stayed in South Wales as a dental associate for a few years following. Working in this area exposed Conor to many high-need patients and he soon realised the importance of full mouth dentistry. Patients needed multi-faceted treatment plans and having the knowledge to deliver them became a priority for Conor. This led him to seek out more education in restorative dentistry, orthodontics, TMJ dysfunction and oral surgery.

Conor started a master’s program in Dental Implantology at the University of Bristol in 2023. He is now able to offer his patients implants to replace their missing teeth – the closest thing to a real tooth.
