Dr Matthew Doswell BDS
GDC No. 258420
Matt graduated from Aberdeen Medical and Dental School in 2015. Having completed Post Graduate training in South Ayrshire, he completed a much sought after and challenging post at The Queen Elizabeth University Hospital Maxilliofacial Unit.
Matt is continually improving his skill set and knowledge in the field of implant dentistry. Practicing at Erskine Dental Care, he is undertaking a Post Graduate Implant Diploma at the prestigious BAIRD academy in Leeds.
Proficient in providing implant treatment for single and multiple missing teeth, Matt also possesses advanced training in bone grafting and soft tissue augmentation. In addition, his training in IV sedation is invaluable to his implant practice.
Matt has a relaxed, friendly and open manner – he strives to give his patients the best possible experience and outcome. However, expect terrible jokes and mediocre music!
Outwith dentistry, Matt loves being outdoors and spending time with his family. He’s a bit of a beer connoisseur and enjoys brewing his own stock for family and friends to sample.
Dr Ahmed Khalid BDS
Implant Dentist
GDC No. 244323
Ahmed graduated with a BDS from the University of Glasgow in 2013.
He has previously worked in the very outskirts of Scotland, in places such as the Isle of Benbecula (as the community dentist) and Oban.
Ahmed provides implant treatment for people who are missing single or multiple teeth.
He completed his training with the BAIRD Academy and has since completed further postgraduate training specific to bone and gums surrounding the implants. He is delighted to be able to help people restore their ability to chew, talk and, most importantly, smile.
Ahmed has a chatty demeanour and constantly finds ways to simplify things to help his patients understand exactly what he can do for them. He strives to achieve a great outcome for his patients while also providing a relaxing atmosphere. You can find him on occasion singing along to the songs on the radio but we’re not sure if that helps with the relaxation! Especially when his favourite music consists of metal and heavy rock.
When not doing surgery, explaining procedures with an extravagant amount of enthusiasm or telling terrible jokes to his patients, he can be found in the gym, cooking up a storm in the kitchen or doing some DIY around the house. Ask him about making sourdough bread for some pro tips (well . . . he believes they’re pro tips!).
Dr Ross Abel BDS
Implant Dentist
Since then, he has completed multiple training courses to advance his knowledge in the field of implants, allowing him to give his patients the best treatment options available. Currently, he is studying for a Masters in Clinical Implantology at the University of Central Lancashire.
Ross currently places implants at three practices and has narrowed the focus of his profession to this. He will also be offering IV sedation to help with anxious patients.
Ross is a relaxed and friendly dentist who always makes sure his patients are comfortable throughout the whole process. Outside of work, Ross is either playing saxophone with his wedding band or spending time with his wife, son and scruffy dog Haggis.
