Mrs Sharon Till
Principal Dental Surgeon
BDS, FDS RCPS
Country of issue: United Kingdom
GDC registration number: 66002

I graduated from the University of Manchester Dental School in 1990.

After qualification I worked in the hospital service for a number of years obtaining experience in a range of specialties including oral and maxillofacial surgery and intravenous sedation.

I obtained the Fellowship in Dental Surgery from the Royal College of Surgeons in Glasgow in 1994.

Since 1994 I have worked in general dental practice and have had experience in both NHS and private practices. Once settled at Dash Dental Care (formerly Church Road Dental Practice) I was able to introduce my knowledge and experience of intravenous sedation to the practice and have, along with Damian O'Shea, developed the practice into a referral centre for anxious patients.

I also developed an interest in cosmetic dentistry and have watched and learned as this discipline has evolved over recent years. I am proud to offer sound ethical advice to anyone considering cosmetic dental treatment and I support minimally invasive techniques to improve the appearance of the teeth whilst maintaining their health.
I am committed to ongoing postgraduate education as a means of delivering the highest standard of care and the latest techniques to my patients.

I am a member of the Society for the Advancement of Anaesthesia in Dentistry (SAAD), the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow and The Association of Dental Anaesthetists (ADA).

Away from dentistry my time is mainly spent as a taxi driver to my twin teenage daughters! I also enjoy yoga, walking my dog Stanley, skiing and trips to the theatre.

I qualified in dentistry at the University of Manchester in the United Kingdom in 1990.

After qualifying I worked in both the dental and general hospital service obtaining a wide range of experience.

In 1994 I achieved the Fellowship in Dental Surgery from the Royal College of Surgeons and Physicians of Glasgow. I am on the Oral Surgery specialist list of the General Dental Council. I completed a Masters degree in dental implantology in 2006. I provide a full implant service with both the placement and restoration of implants.

I have worked in general dental practice since 1994 and have been partner with Sharon Till in Dash Dental Care (formerly Church Road Dental Practice) since 2001.

I have sought to provide a broad range of treatments at the practice but do have an interest in oral surgery and dental implants. Another area of interest is the use of dental sedation as a way of helping anxious patients to undergo treatment.

I am committed to ongoing postgraduate education to maintain and improve knowledge and improve the service to patients. I have undergone extensive postgraduate training and education in restorative and implant dentistry.

I am a member of the British Dental Association, the British Association of Oral Surgeons, the Association of Dental Implantology, the Faculty of General Dental Practitioners (UK) at the Royal College of Surgeons of England and the Society for the Advancement of Anaesthesia in Dentistry and the Association of Dental Anaesthetists.

Outside of work I enjoy cycling, the gym, football and going to the cinema.
