Using techniques ranging from invisible orthodontics and tooth whitening to porcelain veneers, Gordon can dramatically improve the smiles of his patients.
With the increasing desire for long lasting fixed restorations from patients it has lead to greater demand for dental implants. Gordon enjoys being able to replace missing teeth with implants to improve the function and aesthetics for his patients.
Away from dentistry, Gordon loves sport. He has always been a keen rugby player and golfer and tries to keep fit with circuit training, running and 5-a-side football.
Besides sports, Gordon loves spending as much time as he can with his three sons Rowan, Aran and Noah along with his wife Ishita.
