He has provided not only domiciliary and community dentistry but also conscious sedation and complex dental general anaesthetic cases, in his work in both Bedford and the Luton and Dunstable Hospitals and Community Dental Services. In these companies, he introduced advanced aesthetic dentistry and taught many dentists how to provide high end treatment.

He routinely takes on and successfully treats referral and failed restorative endodontic cases. He also tackles complex multi-disciplinary specialist cases including full mouth rehabilitations in conjunction with other specialists as part of his work within the hospitals.
