Richard Simons BDS FDS RCS

Oral Surgeon GDC No. 69744

Richard has taught at both undergraduate and post graduate levels for many years. He is currently a tutor on the Royal College of Surgeons Diploma in Minor Oral Surgery, and has been mentoring implant placement and restoration for well over a decade.

Implant courses are provided in conjunction with Dentsply, and Richard is then happy to supervise cases as closely as necessary at St Faith. Where indicated, for both Oral surgery and Implant Surgery, provision of treatment at St Faith under conscious sedation provides a safe, controlled and protected environment for those worrisome first few cases.

You are welcome to contact him direct on 07966 499 614 to discuss your needs.

Unfortunately NHS Commissioning standards have changed

We are now obliged to carry out all NHS treatment on under 12’s using inhalation sedation only.

This limits the types of treatment that we may be able to carry out on NHS contract, and regrettably we cannot guarantee that we will be able to complete all of the treatment you have been referred for.

We remain compliant with National ‘IACSD’ sedation guidelines which allow us the clinical freedom to use -where necessary -alternative ‘advanced’ sedation techniques on a non- NHS (private) basis.

If it looks like treatment will not be successful under ‘basic’ sedation, the options will be to refer you onward to Community Dental Service or Hospital (where facilities allow) or back to your own dentist for the treatment to be attempted under local anasethetic, or to discuss re-referral on a private basis.

We wish to make clear that this situation is purely as a result of NHS commissioning and completely beyond our control, but assure you of our best efforts in continuing to provide high standards in NHS treatment where possible.
