Meet The Dental Care Team - Dentists

George Au - Principal Dentist
GDC Reg No: 54863

George Au is the principal dentist; he qualified from Guys Hospital London in 1980.

From 1980 - 1986 I worked as an associate in Tonbridge and Tunbridge Wells during which I attended the postgraduate centre on a regular basis.

In 1986 I purchased the current practice (which was then located in Bouverie Square) and to make way for the new shopping centre, relocated to the present location in October 2000.

I was approved as a Dental Vocational Trainer by the Deanery from 1988 – 2004 when our last trainee stayed with the practice as an associate.

I was a member of the Local Dental Council until April 2006.

I enjoy giving people high quality care and have an interest in endodontics and cosmetic dentistry.

I like to keep up-to-date and regard continuous improvement as a life long ambition.

My other interests lie in classical music and sports especially badminton. I am a qualified level 2 badminton coach and am currently working towards gaining my level 3 advanced coaching qualification.

I then joined Mr. Au as a Vocational Trainee Dentist and once my years placement was completed I remained as an associate dentist.

I qualified for membership to the Faculty of Dental Surgery of the Royal College of Surgeons of England in October 2007.
