Dr. Richard BrownThe Dental Surgery

I moved to Bristol in 2001 after growing up in Northern Ireland. I studied dentistry at Bristol University from 2001-06 and qualified from Bristol Dental School in 2006 with high grades in Oral Surgery and Oral Medicine. I moved immediately into work in Bristol and after completing a year of vocational training, I continued to work in general practice and have done so, in two practices in the Bristol area, since August 2006. My ethos in dentistry has always centered on the preservation of the patient’s natural teeth using the latest technologies to ensure minimally invasive preparation. I pride myself in providing high quality, beautifully natural-looking restorations that last. In 2010, I decided to take my interest in orthodontics further starting with aligner therapies in simple cases. Following a further 2 years postgraduate study I now carry out a full range of orthodontic treatments for selected cases, dealing with most malocclusions (crooked teeth) in general practice. I now lecture across the UK and internationally for general dentists looking to expand their scope of practice in ‘invisible’ orthodontics. My other areas of interest in dentistry include ultra thin porcelain veneers and I continue to attempt to offer new options for my patients - for some of which I am the only UK provider.
