Howard graduated for the Royal Dental Hospital, Leicester Square London in 1981 and has since been in general practice full time.
He has always had a keen interest in the surgical side of dentistry and was lucky to gain extensive experience working as an NHS dentist.

About 15 years ago when dental implants were just becoming mainstream Howard undertook extensive training. He soon developed a passion for dental implantology and took on more complex cases. Bone grafting is an integral part of implantology and following a meeting with Dr Peter Fairbairn, who introduced him to synthetic bone grafts over 10 years ago, he has only used alloplasts in his practice since.
