After graduating from Guy’s Hospital London, Dr. Haley spent several years in general practice in Paris. During his time there he did extensive post-graduate training and after moving to Portugal he maintained contact with the University of Paris by participating in a 2 year on-line diploma course on advanced dental technology. More recently he has participated in several ‘hands-on’ courses in microscopic dental procedures, endodontics and periodontal plastic surgery with several of Portugal’s top specialists.

For the past three years, Dr. Haley has been joined on a part-time basis by Dr. Jessica Wright, a young dentist of dual Portuguese and British nationality. She completed her studies at the Instituto Superior de Ciências da Saúde Egas Moniz in the Lisbon area, qualifying in 2016. In the Cascais clinic she helps regularly with implant surgeries, an area she is very enthusiastic about.

The clinic has recently been re-equipped to maximise patient comfort and efficiency of treatments. All radiological imagery, including panoramic x-rays, are digitalised and procedures are now frequently performed using an operating microscope.

Dr. Haley is particularly concerned with patient communication ; with the aid of X-ray images and photos of various aspects of dental treatment the patient is well informed of what is going on in the mouth. The most important service performed by a dental practitioner is, of course, preventive care, however on a daily basis dentists are frequently confronted with more serious situations and with patients requiring more comfort, better aesthetic and functional solutions to their problems and with the perennial concern of cost-effectiveness.

Keeping abreast of new dental techniques and material requires a certain commitment, both time-wise and financially, from practitioners; several countries have even made post graduate studies a legal obligation. It is in this context that Dr. Haley and his colleague Dr. Wright, regularly participate in courses, congresses and clinical training sessions. Their office is centrally located near the ‘mercado’ and Cascais station.
