Dr Stephen Salt

Prosthodontist

I graduated as a dentist from the University of the Witwatersrand (Wits) in 1991. After completing 1 year of compulsory national service in South Africa, I moved to the UK where I practised on the NHS.

I returned to my alma mater to complete a 3-year, full time, post-graduate degree in fixed and removable Prosthodontics. On my return to the UK, I applied for registration as a Specialist Prosthodontist and was admitted in 2000. Since then I have worked in several referral practices in London and South West London. I also taught undergraduate dental students and Guys and St Thomas' Dental School.

To further my education, i completed a 1 year part-time Implant training course at the Eastman Dental Institute in 1999 and a 1 year part-time Implant course at the Tatum Institute. I joined the faculty of the Tatum Institute where I taught the restorative aspects of Implant dentistry.

My treatment ethos is to treat the patient as whole, rather than selectively treating isolated areas. With my advanced skills in Implant dentistry, cosmetic dentistry and my understanding of occlusion, I am able to provide a very comprehensive service as a well-respected Specialist Prosthodontist.

At the Covent Garden Dental Spa, I mainly provide implants to patients. I also provide full mouth rehabilitations for patients with advanced prosthodontic needs. I enjoy my job, as providing a patient with a tooth where there was not tooth before can be a life changing experience for a patient who can now do away with loose or ill-fitting dentures.
