Andrew graduated from Queen's with a distinction in Paediatrics and has a keen interest in all aspects of dentistry, particularly Aesthetic Dentistry and restoring and maintaining dental implants. He enjoys making patients feel at ease, focusing on providing pain-free dentistry with the use
of inhalation sedation (laughing gas) for the more anxious patient.
He has completed coursework in Restorative Aesthetics and Implant Dentistry led by internationally renowned speaker Tidu Mankoo. Like Robert, he is also on the committee of the Irish Academy of Aesthetic
Dentistry.
When he's not treating patients, Andrew enjoys travelling and spending
time with his wife Amy and once played badminton at the National level. He is a keen runner, when he’s not running around after his two young boys, Jonah and Reuben.
