I qualified in Dentistry from Dundee University in 1993 and have worked in General Practice since. I started my first practice in Edinburgh in 1998, expanding and moving into our current practice location in 2005. The practice was further improved and extended in 2011, providing more clinical space and improving our sterilisation facilities. I am extensively involved in the training of young dentists, providing mentoring and clinical support to newly qualified colleagues since 2005. The practice was British Dental Association Good Practice Scheme accredited in 2010.

I completed a diploma in advanced restorative dentistry at Edinburgh University in 2011 and in 2014 I completed a course in advanced dental implant dentistry at the Centre for Advanced Dental Education in Manchester, aiming to keep the practice at the forefront of oral health techniques.

In 2020 I became the first dentist in Scotland to pass the membership exam with the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh in Advance General Dental Surgery. This exam is one of the highest accreditations achievable in General Dental Practice and makes me one of the most highly qualified general dentists in the UK.

The practice has recently been improved by the addition of a CBCT machine. One of a handful in Edinburgh, this machine allows for the most detailed of X-ray images, aiding diagnosis and improving patient care. For more information on CBCT: Click Here

Originally from Northern Ireland, I completed my dental training at The University of Glasgow, graduating in 2012, and spent the next few years completing my Vocational Training and working in General Practice in the Scottish Borders and East Lothian. I joined the team at Stuart Steven’s in 2015 providing all aspects of dentistry and take pride in both communicating and providing a high a standard of care that is tailored to each individual. 

As Dentistry is always evolving I continually invest my time and effort in developing new skills and staying current with new techniques, technologies and materials. My particular areas of interest include comprehensive restorative dentistry, root canal treatment and discreet adult braces. Working with Stuart has further allowed me to expand my skills through the Scottish Vocational Training Programme where I have provided mentoring and clinical support to newly-qualified colleagues since 2017.
