Aisling graduated from Bristol Dental School in 2000 achieving first place in her year. She was awarded both the prestigious Gold Medal as well as the British Dental Association Medal for her academic and clinical successes.

After gaining experience in a number of different dental specialties, she joined the Orthodontic Specialist Registrar Training Programme at the Birmingham Dental Hospital. During this time she undertook a Masters in Philosophy research degree. She completed her training in 2007 and gained her Membership in Orthodontics from the Royal College of Surgeons. At this examination she was awarded the distinguished British Orthodontic Society Cases Medal for her outstanding quality of orthodontic treatment.

Aisling undertook additional higher training in orthodontics, centred on the treatment of the most complex cases. She was awarded her Intercollegiate Speciality Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons to gain Consultant status. Aisling is a registered Orthodontic Specialist on the GDC Register and has been working as a Consultant Orthodontist at Walsall Manor Hospital since 2010.

She is an Educational Supervisor and is responsible for training and mentoring trainee orthodontists. She is an invited lecturer on the West Midlands Deanery Orthodontic Training Programme. She has lectured both regionally and nationally and has presented her research at conferences.

Aisling is an experienced Invisalign Provider (Platinum Level) and now treats most of her orthodontic patients with Invisalign aligners, including children. She is a great advocate of Invisalign Teen, an Invisalign aligner specifically tailored for the treatment of children and adolescents.

Mark graduated from Bristol Dental School in 2000 and after gaining experience in a number of different dental specialities has focussed on Prosthodontics which is the branch of dentistry concerned with the replacement of teeth.

In 2005 he was accepted onto the prosthodontic postgraduate programme at Manchester University. He completed his Master degree in 2007 and his Membership of Prosthodontics from the Royal College of Surgeons in 2011. This has enabled Mark to be entered onto the prestigious General Dental Council’s Prosthodontic specialist list and his clinical practice is now almost entirely dedicated to the placement and to the restoration of dental implants.

Whilst studying in Manchester, Mark was able to fulfil his other passion of teaching and was a clinical lecturer for both undergraduate and postgraduate students. The teaching aspect within dentistry is something Mark still enjoys and regularly teaches on dental implant courses for dentists wanting to enter this field of dentistry.

On a personal note Mark is married and lives in Birmingham with his wife who he met at Bristol University and his two young children. He enjoys family walks and holidays to Gran Canaria to relax and re charge.
