MEET THE TEAM

Dr. Philip Parsons

Dental Practitioner

GDC No. 518210

 

"I qualified from Sheffield University in 1978, followed by a house officer post and part time tutor in oral surgery. I now have over 20 years experience in general dental practice. In 1983 I set up this practice with my wife Brenda Finnegan, with the aim of providing an excellent standard of dental care in a relaxing, friendly environment.

I have a special interest in cosmetic dentistry, prevention of dental disease and sympathetic treatment of anxious patients. I'm a life member of S.A.A.D (Society of Advanced Anaethesia in Dentistry) with over 20 years experience with intravenous sedation. I completed a one year advanced restorative course and in 1998 I gained my Diploma in General Dental Practice (D.G.D.P. (UK)) from the Royal College of Surgeons of England. In 2002 I completed a one year advanced Implant restorative course.

Away from the surgery, I am kept in order by my teenage daughter, Dominique. My hobbies and interest are centred around the family and we enjoy walking, golf, swimming and gardening"

 

"I'm the other half of the partnership, business and matrimonial!

Having qualified from Manchester University in 1974, with honours, I followed a mainly surgical pathway gaining my Fellowship from the Royal College of Surgeons of England in 1980.

That same year Philip and I were married and I decided to alter my career pathway away from the nights of being on call for facial traumas to pursue the speciality of Restorative Dentistry. I worked as Lecturer/ Senior Registrar in Sheffield and Manchester Dental Hospitals. In 1983, full of energy, ambition and enthusiasm, Philip and I had the opportunity of buying 415 Stockport Road and setting up our very own dental practice from scratch.

Mid 1986, whilst expecting our daughter, Dominique, I completed my MSc thesis on tooth coloured fillings.

My special interest is dental implantology. My surgical background allows me to be one of the few practitioners who actually place the implants as well as restoring them. My patients benefit greatly from this as the whole procedure can be done 'in-house'.

Away from the practice, I'm a normal, busy Mum and Wife. In an effort to improve my level of fitness I have joined a golf club in order to learn to play, but my biggest handicap is myself! I enjoy walking and am a member of a fitness club where I have been spotted on rare occasions!

" I joined the Team in March 2005, having worked locally for four years doing private dentistry in Altrincham, Cheshire.

I qualified in 1996 from the University Dental Hospital of Manchester and went on to complete my Vocational Training in Derbyshire. I went back to the University to take up a part time post as Lecturer and Clinical Teacher in Restorative Dentistry, spending the rest of my time working with patients in General Practice.

After five years I changed posts to work full time doing private dentistry in Altrincham. During the four years in Altrincham I progressed to Senior Dentist and then Dental Business Manager within the business which gave me a lot of experience in the management of a General Practice.

I am a member of the Faculty of General Dental Practice (FGDP) at the Royal College of Surgeons of England and I am studying to become a joint member of the FGDP and the Faculty of Dental Surgery (FDS).

I have completed advanced training in restorative aesthetic dentistry with Dr Paul Tipton, who is recognised as an international expert in the field of aesthetic dentistry and who recently was voted as one of the most influential dentists in the UK.

My special interest is in Restorative Dentistry, focusing on aesthetic (cosmetic) treatments and smile rehabilitation using the latest ceramic technology.

I am married to Katy and have two sons and a daughter, Ethan who is five, our Angel, Sam, and Charlotte who is two years old. I like to play with computers and fly with BA Virtual, play golf with varied success and cook when I get the chance, which is not as often as I'd like."
