Ben graduated with a Bachelor of Dental Surgery from the University of Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, England. In 2007 he received his Diploma of Membership of Joint Dental Faculties at the Royal College of Surgeons of England - MJDFRCS Eng. This consisted of an integrated 2 year course of advanced general professional training and it also serves as an entry requirement for specialist training - should one choose to specialise.

He also has a postgraduate qualification in conscious sedation allowing him to treat unusually anxious patients more effectively.
Due to patient demand and wanting to explore the continually expanding area of cosmetic dentistry, Ben undertook further study and became accredited in Invisalign in 2005, allowing him to straighten and reposition teeth without the need for fixed brackets and unsightly metal wires.
