Dr Ken Harris is a vastly experienced dental practitioner specialising in high-value, complex reconstruction cases at his multi-award-winning Private referral practice in Sunderland. A graduate of Newcastle University (1982), he spent 18 years in NHS practice before establishing a private “squat” practice in 2000, and his commitment to lifelong learning has subsequently delivered countless clinical prizes and many advanced qualifications. He passed the examination for MFGDP(UK) in 1996 and achieved Fellowship of the Royal College of General Dental Practice FFGDP(UK) in 2017. Fellowship of the newly established College of General Dentistry (FCGDent) in 2020 was followed by Fellowship in Dental Surgery from Royal College of Surgeons of England (FDS RCS) in 2021. He also holds an MSc in Restorative & Aesthetic Dentistry (with distinction) from the University of Manchester (2014).
As a founding member of British Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (BACD), Ken was in the very first cohort to pass BACD Accreditation (2007) and in the first cohort to achieve BACD Fellowship (2010). As one of only 3 Accredited Fellows of BACD, he has for almost two decades now acted as tutor and examiner for the BACD Accreditation process and sits on the BACD Board of Directors. Ken was the first UK Graduate of the prestigious Kois Center in Seattle USA (2008) where he now acts as a Mentor, and despite 45 years as a full-time Practitioner, he still manages to fulfil a busy teaching schedule both nationally and internationally.
