Dr Tom is trained to provide many different types of cosmetic orthodontic appliance and one of his passions is cosmetic smile makeovers. His focus is on achieving the perfect smile for every patient but without having to drill the natural teeth and without injections. This technique is completed by straightening the teeth, then whitening them, followed by using state-of-the-art clinical restorative filling materials to re-shape the natural teeth and create the perfect smile. All other cosmetic techniques such as dental implants, advanced aesthetic composite restorations, smile design including orthodontics and tooth whitening, are part of his portfolio.

Dr Tom’s calm and thorough approach is reflected by his excellent reputation, and his enthusiasm for continuing advanced training and broad clinical experience has been recognized and rewarded by his peers. In addition to being voted as the Best Young Dentist in the South, he writes for many Dental Publications and examples of his clinical work are regularly published to demonstrate to other dentists what amazing smile transformations can be achieved with minimally invasive and pain-free dental techniques.

Dr Tom is the inventor and patent-owner of a revolutionary new type of orthodontic retainer which is produced exclusively by CFast Orthodontic Solutions and is called the SOLID Retainer. This retainer is completely smooth and invisible and keeps your teeth perfectly straight after tooth straightening with either fixed or removable braces. Dr Tom travels the world to visit laboratories that manufacture the SOLID retainer to ensure that it is produced to the highest of standards and keeps teeth straight for people around the world.
