Dr Alastair Armer

I qualified from Manchester University in 2002 before embarking on a career as a Dental Officer with the British Army for 20 years. During this time I travelled the globe providing high quality dental care to military personnel and their dependants. In 2012 I passed the MJDF exam with the Royal College of Surgeons of England. Later in my career returned to the College as an examiner, assessing the skills of dentists in the UK and overseas. I am currently a clinical tutor with the University of Manchester, helping train the next generation of dentists. I continually keep up to date with advancements in dentistry and have undertaken thousands of hours of advanced training in Restorative Dentistry, gaining the prestigious Diploma in Restorative Dentistry from the Royal College of Surgeons of England in 2019 and a Masters degree, with distinction, in 2021; which has enabled me to take on more complex cases. I have a special interest in occlusion, worn teeth, endodontics (root canal treatment) and all aspects of cosmetic dentistry. I have always had an artistic side and love to sculpt new smiles with composite bonding or veneers. My dentistry conforms to biomimetic and minimally invasive principles where possible, placing restorations that maintain as much healthy tooth tissue as possible, whilst looking and functioning like natural teeth. I have been praised for my welcoming, gentle and enthusiastic approach to dentistry, delivering patient-focussed treatment in a calm and relaxed environment. I truly believe in empowering my patients, so they understand what is going on inside their mouths. I will answer all your questions and discuss treatment options available, helping you find the perfect treatment to meet your needs. Outside of dentistry I enjoy DIY, photography, mountaineering, following F1, being a volunteer leader at my local cub scout group and most importantly spending time with my wife and 2 children. Fun fact: I own a full size stormtrooper costume!
