Dear Colleague,

I wish to introduce myself and offer a new private referral service for advanced restorative dentistry cases. My main areas of dental interest are treatment of the worn dentition and advanced aesthetic restorative dentistry. I qualified from Newcastle University in 1992 and started working in house jobs in Restorative Dentistry , Oral Surgery and Child Dental Health. Following this, I completed VT and then a year as an associate in the North East prior to joining the Cleveland Terrace Dental Practice in 1996 where I became a partner in 1999. Although experienced in treating these kind of cases, I am not a specialist.

I have completed two part-time year long Restorative Dentistry courses, the most recent being with Chris Orr in London. I have also undertaken Chris Orr's eight day advanced occlusion course. I have trained with world renowned Frank Spear in Arizona where I studied complex restorative treatment planning, aesthetics and occlusion. I have also trained with Didier Dietschi at his teaching centre in Geneva on two occasions, where I studied advanced anterior and posterior composite techniques. I have also undertaken the comprehensive Occlusion Design course run by Canadian dentist Dr Stephen Phelan. I have recently completed the Dawson Academy Core Curriculum and also attended their international symposium in San Sebastián in Spain.

I continually complete postgraduate education and have attended courses by the world’s leading clinicians including the Dawson Centre (John Cranham), Pascal Magne, Galup Garel, Bazil Mizrahi, Jason Smithson and many more. I am a Full Member of the BACD and each year I attend their excellent annual conference. I am certified provider of the Inman Aligner and Cfast anterior orthodontics and also provide clear aligners for anterior tooth alignment. Tooth alignment can be very useful as a stand alone treatment, or pre-restoratively and can also improve anterior guidance. Where required, I work closely with a MSc trained dentist in Endodontics, specialist orthodontist and implant dentists also. 

I would be delighted to discuss any cases with referring colleagues when required. Similarly, I would also be delighted to discuss with you any questions about this new referral service, so please do not hesitate to contact me.

Best Wishes,

Dr Jon Henley, BDS(Hons), DGDP(Uk) GDC no. 68030
