Stephen is a mentor for the world renowed ‘Strauman Dental Implant System’ and for the postgraduate students undertaking the MSc in Dental Implantology at Salford University.  He is the Clinical Director of Liverpool Implant Centre.

Stephen welcomes referrals for surgical dentistry with or without intravenous sedation and any extractions with intravenous sedation. He would also be happy to accept referrals for all aspects of implant dentistry for: treatment planning, implant placement, restoration and continual care.  Referring practitioners are welcome to be present for any stage of implant treatment.
