Nyewood Dental Practice

Hello I’m Richard,

Having qualified in 1981 at Guys Hospital, I spent my early professional career in the Dental Branch of the Royal Air Force. Their ideals were to advance the professional training and promote the ethos of providing the best dental care possible for our patients. I served mainly in the UK but had several months in the Falkland Islands, 3 years in Hong Kong and 2 months in Cyprus on the Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron during the first Gulf War. I passed the Membership examination of the Royal College of Surgeons in General Dental Surgery in 1992 and, having been in the RAF for 16 years, I decided that as I was enjoying General Practice Dentistry it was time to buy my own Practice rather than becoming mainly an administrator.

I became the Principal of the Nyewood Dental Practice in 1995 and have continued to enjoy providing Dentistry to a delightful group of people and, happily, their numbers have increased year by year to such an extent that I needed another dentist to cover the demand both now and in the future.
