Mr Phil Forman

Phil qualified at the Royal Dental Hospital in London in 1977 and moved up to Manchester to open Laburnum dental practice in 1980. Over the last 30 years, Phil has held various teaching posts based at the Manchester Dental Hospital and has been heavily involved in the training and development of newly qualified dentists during their vocational training year, both at Laburnum and other graduate training centres. In 2003 Phil was awarded a further post graduate qualification following 3 years study in advanced general dentistry (DPDS). He was awarded post graduate certificates in restorative dentistry (cosmetic dentistry, crown and bridgework) and periodontology (advanced gum treatment). Phil decided to further develop his skills in clinical periodontology and earlier last year (2017) Phil was awarded a Master of Science (MSc) in periodontology. Phil now works 4 days a week in his own practice at Laburnum but travels to two other private practices in Cheshire and Stafford on a Thursday, where he treats patients on referral from other dentists for advanced gum disease. In his free time Phil loves spending time with his family and friends. He also enjoys keeping fit so you might see him jogging through Handforth or Wilmslow at the weekends. Watch out though seeing Phil in a pair of shorts can be a shock. (Those of a nervous disposition should look away) The thing Phil loves most about dentistry is the way one can both combine academic and practical clinical skills. The introduction of new technology and advances in the science of dentistry, always introduce new challenges and the need to develop new techniques, which he enjoys passing on to his ever growing band of patients. Most importantly Phil believes that delivering the latest developments in dentistry to his patients allows them to receive the best care that dentistry can offer.
