James’ ability to save teeth that would otherwise be removed is why patients travel to see him for root canal treatment.

He qualified as a dentist from the University of Leeds with merit, following which he worked in general practice in Edinburgh. He then undertook two years as a senior house officer in Oral & Maxillofacial surgery at the Royal United Hospital in Bath and Restorative Dentistry at the Royal London Hospital. It was during this time that he was awarded Membership of the Faculty of Dental Surgery (MFDS) with the Royal College of Surgeons, Edinburgh.

Treating complex cases in a hospital environment referred by general dental practitioners led to James developing a keen interest in Endodontics (root canal treatments). He was one of the few dentists accepted onto the 4-year specialist training programme at Guy’s and King’s College London Dental Institute, which he completed with distinction. He was also awarded the prestigious Membership in Endodontics by the Royal College of Surgeons, England, and Edinburgh. This is recognised as one of the highest qualifications in the field.

James is highly skilled in managing patients with complex endodontic problems, cases where previous treatment has failed, as well as endodontic surgery.
