About Us

2006
After qualifying I was awarded the LDI Conservative Dentistry Prize 2006 in Leeds and was nominated for the Yorkshire Evening Post Dentist of the Year Award 2007. That same year, at the end of my VT working for the NHS, I won the Dewsbury Prize for best case presented to the Faculty of General Dental Practitioners.

2007
After leaving Leeds in 2007, I returned to Bury to start my own patient base at the Tottington Dental Surgery with my father, the principle of both surgeries.

2009
I completed my Membership in the Joint Dental Faculties of the Royal College of Dental Surgeons.
Whilst gaining knowledge in years of postgraduate study, I transferred to Ramsbottom early in 2009.

2010
While working at Ramsbottom, I finished a year-long Multi-System Implantology Postgraduate Certificate in 2010, which has since enabled me to place over 50 implants.

2011
I began my Master’s Degree in Restorative and Aesthetic Dentistry at the University of Manchester in 2011. I completed this course in January 2013 receiving the highest grade of Distinction. I began to take on further responsibilities with management of the practice in 2011.

2012
Our two practices, Tottington and Ramsbottom Dental Surgeries won the local Bury LiNK awards for Best Dental Practice, receiving 1st and 4th place.

2013
We were awarded with the prestigious BDA Good Practice award. In November I won the Highly Commended Best In Class – Health & Beauty Award 2013 in the Made In Bury – Best of Bury Awards. In December, after having been nominated and shortlisted, I reached Finalist for the Best Young Dentist UK 2013 in the Dentistry UK awards.

2014
We won Best Health and Beauty Provider for the Made in Bury Awards.

2015
We won two Aesthetic Awards 2015 Cases for Removable Orthodontic Appliances and Facial Aesthetics cases as well as being finalists in six others. I was also finalist for several awards including Best Young Dentist and Best Oral Health Provider in both years. After starting the practice, I was lucky to be made Best Young Dentist (NW) in the Dentistry Awards.

2016
I have continued to learn and mentor, lecturing at the University of Manchester and for the Osstem & BAIRD one-year implant course and the Nobel Esthetic Alliance Course. In addition, I am currently researching for a PhD in Guided Implantology at the University of Leeds.

2017
We’re planning on extending our team at Dentist on the ROCK and creating a new onsite teaching centre. Watch this space!

ABNCorp Ltd. trading as Dentist On THE ROCK – Statement of Purpose

This practice is registered with and regulated by the Care Quality Commission for the following activities:

1. Diagnostic and screening procedures
For the whole population, we aim to see each patient at a personal and mutually agreed recall interval and perform a full examination of both the hard and soft tissues and supporting structures of the oral cavity, using diagnostic aids such as x-rays as and when appropriate. Where any abnormalities are detected, then further investigations such as biopsies and actions such as referrals will be actioned.

2. Treatment of disease, disorder or injury
For the whole population, following diagnosis and screening, patients are given an explanation of any items requiring attention, all appropriate treatment options and associated costs (where applicable) and the pros and cons of each option is explained.

The kinds of services that we provide are consultations, x-rays, 3D cone beam, treatment of periodontal disease, routine restorative work such as fillings, crowns, inlays and onlays, bridges, endodontics, fixed and removable prostheses and cosmetic work. We also offer orthodontic treatment using near-invisible and discrete appliances suitable for general dental practitioners to prescribe and dental implant placement and restoration. If necessary, referral to specialist dental practitioners may be advised where the treatment required is more complex, such as in the case of more difficult instances involving endodontic and periodontal care or where sedation is requested.

In the case of injury, temporary treatment may be provided to stabilise the mouth. Patients will be kept fully informed of proposed interventions at each point, receive itemised estimates of likely costs and consent will be sought at each stage. At all times we aim to provide a service based on prevention and develop a personal regime for each patient within this overarching framework.

3.Surgical procedures
For the whole population, if a patient requires a surgical procedure at the practice, and we believe that this is within our skill set (such as routine or more straightforward surgical extractions, apicectomies and implant placement) then we will explain the procedure to the patient together with any associated risks and, if the patient wishes to proceed, obtain appropriate valid consent. Once completed, we will monitor the progress of the patient in accordance with the relevant clinical protocols to ensure that recovery is both full and uneventful.

For more advanced surgical procedures, such as the removal of impacted wisdom teeth, we refer to appropriately qualified consultants and specialists, either in hospitals or a practice environment.

We aim to meet the routine and general dental care needs of our patients and try to achieve high levels of oral health through adopting a preventive approach. If the users of our services require or request to have a treatment or procedure that we are either unable or unwilling to provide, then we will either arrange for a referral or inform them accordingly.
