He qualified from Birmingham University in 1991, received 'Honours' in the 1st, 4th and 5th BDS examinations, and was awarded several prizes including runner-up in the UK BDA/Dentsply Student Clinician Programme, and Walpole Day prize in orthodontics.
Over the years Chris has undertaken many comprehensive training programmes in topics such as dentures, root canal therapy, restorative dentistry, cosmetic dentistry, toothwear, periodontal (gum) treatment, tooth whitening and is a 'Smilelign' acredited provider for the provision of clear orthodontic aligners. Chris's style is relaxed and informal. He particularly enjoys using minimally invasive adhesive techniques that are kind to teeth and helping patients achieve a healthy attractive smile. Providing dentures, both partial and full dentures, is also one of Chris's favourite treatments he provides. On a personal note Chris enjoys walking in the Clwydian hills, swimming and is a keen gardener and caravanner. But above all he loves spending time with his two daughters Lydia and Emily and dog Alfie.
