Expert Profile: Tony Appleton BDS DPDS

Expertise: I am an experienced general dental practitioner in private dental practice in the UK. I will happily answer questions related to general practice, and have interests in endodontics (root canal), dental implants, CEREC and cosmetic dentistry.

Experience in the area

I have been a general practitioner for over 20 years, working initially under the NHS, but for the past 7 years have been solely in private practice. I run a busy practice with my wife, Lisa, who is also a dentist. I have also been closely involved in the training of young dentists, and have lectured to dentists on a variety of subjects, both clinical and managerial, related to general dental practice.
