After 25 years at The Briars, last month Dr Nigel Foot rest his dental mirror for the last time. Partner, mentor, colleague, friend, confidante & esteemed Endodontist, he will be greatly missed by patients, peers & of course his team at the Briars.
Nigel has been a hugely admired Dentist, known for his gentle, kind & understanding approach. General Dentists from all over the South of England have referred their patients to him for many years for his renowned expertise as a Specialist in Endodontics.
We all wish him a fun and bright new chapter ahead.
Happy Retirement Nigel!

A bit about Richard…
Born in London, Richard moved to Ireland for school and university. Upon graduating from Trinity College Dublin in 2012 he moved back to the South East of England. He completed his vocational training in Ripley, Surrey, after which he worked in the Queen Victoria Hospital, East Grinstead, as a Maxillofacial Senior House Officer, where he developed his surgical skills.
Following a period working as a general dentist, Richard elected to specialise in Endodontics, completing his training at Guy’s Dental Hospital in 2019. This training enables Richard to complete all-manner of Endodontic treatments, including apical surgery and vital pulp treatments, so as to alleviate pain, eradicate infection and maintain patients’ teeth. During his training, Richard was also involved in undergraduate training and teaching of distance learning Endodontic programmes.
Currently Richard works in a number of Endodontic positions around London, Surrey and Berkshire. He also regularly attends local and international Endodontic conferences. It is Richard’s firm belief that root canal treatment has an undeserved reputation among patients for being uncomfortable, whereas in reality, it should be a painless, predictable procedure, completed in a relaxed atmosphere. It is such an experience that Richard strives to provide.
Prior to his dental training, Richard completed a bachelor’s degree in Business and Law at University College Dublin.

Here at The Briars Dental Centre, we are proud to offer our patients the newest, and very best technology that dentistry has to offer, and one of our favourite treatments right now is Invisalign.
Invisalign treatment is a discreet way to straighten your teeth using custom-made, almost completely transparent aligners. Invisalign uses 3D computer imaging technology, along with the prescription of your dentist to create an interactive treatment plan that will show you how your smile can be improved. With this treatment plan, you will be able to see the subtle, yet smile changing movements that each aligner achieves – going from the initial position of your teeth, to the final desired position.
If you are interested in finding out more about this treatment, come along for a free consultation with one of our Treatment Coordinators. they will take a scan of your teeth on the day and can show you the potential results of the treatment then and there!
