Principal Dentist
Tony and wife Lisa met while dental students at Sheffield University and qualified together in 1986. They have worked together ever since, owning and developing very successful practices on both sides of the world! They were delighted to purchase The Gunyah practice in 2015 and having recently joined the Smile On Group Tony looks forward to taking the practice to the next level and to continuing life on the beautiful Central Coast.
Tony loves his dentistry and continues to expand his knowledge and experience at every opportunity. With a passion for technology and computers, he was an early user of CAD/CAM systems and over his career has built up a wealth of experience providing CEREC™ and E4D restorations. He has also been called upon to lecture and mentor in CAD/CAM Dentistry in the UK, Channel Islands and Australia.
Having completed postgraduate training in endodontics (root canal treatments), advanced restorative work and dental implants Tony has developed his dental skills to such a level that he has a loyal following of dentists who refer their patients to him. Tony has also lectured and mentored fellow dentists in endodontics. He is a member of The Australian Society of Endodontology.
Tony is always keen to work within the principles of minimally-invasive dentistry, preserving as much healthy tooth substance as possible when restoring teeth. His advanced skills with CEREC™ have enabled him to utilize this technology to help create long lasting, biocompatible restorations.
Tony’s interests outside of dental practice include spending time with his wife, children, grandchildren and black labradors Ted and Mabel. He enjoys wildlife and landscape photography, rugby union, sailing and wining and dining.
