Dr Cavan Ho

Dr Cavan Ho graduated from Kings College London, Guy’s King and St Thomas’s dental hospitals, and undertook a senior house officer position in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at Queen Alexandra Hospital. Incorporating the latest dental technology into his workflow, using both an intra-oral camera and the latest ‘3D teeth scanner’ as tools to aid patients in relating to their own oral health, Dr Cavan believes that ‘seeing is believing’. He thinks it is vital for patients to understand what is going on in their mouths to motivate long-term improvements and is very thorough in giving advice on how to maintain your health, through answering questions you may have and explaining any treatment options available. Cavan enjoys smile design to help fix worn and broken teeth in people who have suffered from long-term tooth grinding or acid erosion using composite bonding (adhesive full mouth rehabilitation). Dr Cavan respects that every patient is a unique individual presenting with their own set of circumstances, and that most times a person with dental phobia is not irrational, but likely has had a bad experience at the dentist in the past. He is very patient and understanding and is more than happy to work at your pace to get you back in control of your own dental health. Outside of work he enjoys skateboarding, cooking, spending time with his nephew James (2 years old), as well as researching alternative dental therapy to help enrich his patient’s health journeys. He has learnt head and neck acupuncture to manage patients with jaw muscle aches (TMD / TMJ pain / TMJ Dysfunction), that can sometimes masquerade as morning headaches or head tension. For chronic suffers, he may make you a Sleep Clench Inhibitor to alleviate symptoms, whereas for acute problems, this is likely to be the first time you have a dentist refer you for a massage!
