Dr. Ashley Watson is a highly respected implantologist with over 30 years of clinical experience. He qualified from King’s Dental Institute in 1992 and has been placing dental implants since 1994, making him one of the most experienced clinicians in the field. His expertise is backed by a Diploma in Dental Implants from the Royal College of Surgeons in Edinburgh and an MSc in Implantology from the Institute of Clinical Excellence at Salford University, where his research is rooted in real-world clinical practice.
Ashley ran a thriving private practice from 1996 to 2015, which was later acquired by Bupa Dental Care—a testament to his exceptional standards of patient care and clinical excellence. He now leads the Bupa clinic in Canterbury, handling all implant referrals across Kent.
Renowned for his precision and use of cutting-edge techniques, Ashley integrates digital planning and manufacturing technologies to ensure the highest level of accuracy in implant placement. His commitment to advancing the profession extends beyond his own practice—he actively mentors dentists looking to refine their implant skills and leads a respected study club dedicated to improving clinical outcomes in implantology.
Ashley’s international training and collaboration with leading mentors in New York, Düsseldorf, and Brisbane keep him at the forefront of implant dentistry. He is a sought-after voice in focus groups discussing the future of implant provision, mentoring programmes, and the evolution of dental technology.
His dedication extends beyond clinical practice; Ashley has trained UK undergraduate students on field trips to Ghana and provided voluntary dental aid to Syrian refugees in Greece. A passionate advocate for oral health charities, he undertakes a 500-mile charity cycling challenge every two years, having raised over £200,000 with the support of his colleagues.
With his vast experience, cutting-edge approach, and dedication to mentorship, Ashley is the trusted choice for dentists referring their patients for advanced implant treatment.
