Jim graduated in Dentistry from the University of Leeds (BChD) in 1999, joining the Army and completing his Vocational Training in Northern Germany. He served a year as a Senior House Officer in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in 2004, has run several military Dental Centres and has completed extensive postgraduate training. After completing his Perio training at the Eastman Dental Institute UCL, he led the periodontal service for the British Armed Forces. Since leaving the Armed Forces he has worked in private practice taking referrals in periodontics and for dental implants. He also works in the Department of Periodontology at the Birmingham Dental Hospital. This has resulted in extensive experience in the treatment of often challenging cases.
Jim takes referrals for perio and perio/ restorative patients and provides a full range of both non-surgical and surgical perio treatments. He has published internationally and was awarded the BDA Armed Forces Group Research Prize and the Royal Army Medical Corps Leishman Prize. He continues to be involved with dental postgraduate education, both nationally and internationally, working with King’s College London’s Prosthodontic MClinDent and Aesthetic Dentistry MSc distance learning programmes in both teaching and advisory roles. He also teaches for the Academy of Dental Excellence.
Jim joined Roy Morris Dental & Implant Excellence in November 2024 and we welcome periodontal referrals for him to see. Where possible, his default position is to save and preserve the natural dentition. However, where this is not possible, periodontal treatment will be performed and your patient will be directed back to you for restorative treatment – unless we are directed to provide restorative care too.
