Dr. Francis Haley’s dental practice, based in Cascais, is primarily concerned with prevention and minimally invasive treatments - promoting the importance of routine check-ups, oral hygiene instruction and measures such as fissure sealants and fluoride gel application for children ( at the same time giving youngsters a relaxed attitude to a visit to the dentist!). It is fortunately becoming more common in dental offices to see young adults with no fillings and, as a result of orthodontic treatment, nicely aligned teeth. For those older patients who have already received restorative treatment, follow-ups and maintenance are another occasion to reinforce preventive attitudes.


For the past two 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. By assisting and eventually performing these more advanced procedures, Dr. Wright complements the skills acquired by postgraduate training, a fundamental part of professional activity.


After qualifying from Guy’s Hospital, London, Dr. Haley spent several years in private practice in Paris. During his time there he did extensive postgraduate training notably in the specialities of periodontology ( diagnosis and treatment of gum disease) and implant surgery. 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 and endodontics with a team of Portugal’s top specialists.


Dr. Haley’s office, centrally located near the ‘mercado’ and Cascais train station, is fully equipped with constantly updated material (operating microscope, digital X-rays) to provide the most appropriate treatment for each patient.
