After qualifying as a dentist, Richard joined the Armed Forces and spent the first seven years of his career there. A strong emphasis on excellence in dentistry was borne within the army, and after an exciting time travelling to Brunei, Sierra Leone, Kosovo to name a few places, he decided it was time to build his own practice.
Richard found the perfect spot and set up River Dental in 2008, taking over sole control in 2012.
Over 8 years he built a team and grew the practice with a focus on excellent patient care to a nationally award winning practice. After another 8 years he sold the practice to a corporate but continued working here. In 2024 he decided to move closer to home and get back to the basics of old fashioned service with state of the art quality dental care.
He now enjoys a short run to work and providing excellent dental care on his doorstep for the residents of Downton and the surrounding villages.
