Kieran graduated from the University of Sheffield in 2015 with Honours where he was the President of the Dental Students' Society, taking a lead role in education and activities at the Dental School. Kieran was also the recipient of the University of Sheffield Chancellor's Medal for recognition of his outstanding contribution to the School of Clinical Dentistry, to the University of Sheffield and to the wider community of Sheffield in promoting widening participation, supporting others towards a career in Dentistry and raising awareness of mouth cancer. Kieran joins a prestigious list of previous winners including Jessica Ennis-Hill who received the medal in 2008.
Kieran is an enthusiastic member of our dental team and keen in postgraduate development and learning. Committed to ongoing professional development, Kieran was awarded the John Gilmour Award for the best performing Foundation Dentist on the Birmingham City Scheme in 2015/16. He has since completed his MJDF (Membership of the Joint Dental Faculties) Diploma Qualification in November 2015 and also completed his Diploma in Restorative Dentistry (Royal College of Surgeons) in June 2019. Continuing with dental education, Kieran is as a Joint Educational Supervisor which involves mentoring those new graduates who have just completed their dental degree. This shows that he is not only committed to his patients, but also enthuses to encourage younger dentists, at the start of their career.
Kieran has a particular interest in medical law, holding a Master’s degree in Medical Law from Cardiff University and a Diploma in Legal Medicine from the Faculty of Forensic and Legal Medicine.
Kieran currently divides his time between general dental practice, where he is an Educational Supervisor and Clinical Lead, and his role as a Dento-Legal Adviser for an indemnity provider.
Kieran enjoys building a good rapport with all his patients putting their needs at the forefront of every consultation. Kieran's interests lie in restorative dentistry, orthodontics where he is an Invisalign Go provider and also in acute dental care and trauma. He is also accredited and is able to offer intra-venous sedation to his anxious patients.
Kieran was formally admitted to the College of General Dentistry, as a Fellow, in April 2026.
Outside of dentistry, Kieran takes an active involvement in hockey with Beacon Hockey Club.
