Background
Dr. Rob graduated from Leeds Dental School in 2007 and has over 15 years of experience helping patients achieve healthy, confident smiles. After spending 10 years working in Yorkshire, both in the NHS and private practice, he moved to Australia, where he developed a passion for orthodontics, especially clear aligner treatments. In 2022, Dr. Rob returned to the UK to be closer to family and joined Straumann as a Clinical Advisor, training dentists across the UK and Europe. He later became Clinical Lead and completed a Diploma in Orthodontics with the London Dental Institute in 2023.
Skills
Dr. Rob is now working towards his Master’s in Orthodontics and enjoys offering patients a choice of clear aligners and fixed braces to suit their needs. Patients describe Rob as approachable, caring, and detail-oriented. He enjoys working with both adults and children and takes pride in helping even the most anxious patients feel comfortable throughout their treatment. Having seen how much orthodontics can transform a person’s confidence, Dr. Rob finds great joy in seeing the positive impact a new smile can bring.
Hobbies
Outside the clinic, Rob loves spending time with his dog, cycling, surfing, and being outdoors. He recently completed his first sprint triathlon and is currently training for his first marathon in 2026.
