About
Dr Alastair Hetherington studied Dentistry at the University of Bristol and qualified in 2011. Upon completion of his education and being awarded the DENTSPLY oral medicine prize, he undertook a foundation training year in South Gloucestershire. Following this, he worked for Bristol Dental Hospital and the Royal United Hospital, Bath. He worked in Bath for 2 years specialising in oral medicine and oral and maxillofacial surgery. This provided him with extensive experience in complicated tooth extractions and unique oral health conditions. Alongside this, he completed his membership with the Royal College of Surgeons.
In 2013, Dr Hetherington travelled to Tanzania to do charity work with Bridge2aid. He would teach and train clinical officers living in rural parts of the country to remove teeth safely using anaesthetics. A year later, he joined Savernake Dental practice. Since then, he has been getting to know his patients and always delivers on quality dental care. He especially enjoys treating nervous patients who can be a bit challenging. Despite this, he provides a calm and relaxing environment so they can feel at ease during the procedures.
More impressively, Dr Hetherington chose to complete an MSc in Dental Implantology at the University of Bristol. This appears to be an exciting area of dentistry in safely removing and replacing teeth. Furthermore, he was appointed as a trainer for foundation dentists along with the dentist Dr Jonathan Taylor.

Alastair removed a tooth. I have fibromyalgia so was anxious about the procedure as I am very sensitive to pain stimuli and had already had pain in that tooth. He really listened to my concerns and was so gentle and reassuring. I never felt a thing and the area healed really well after. I also saw Alastair for am implant assessment. Again Alastair listened to my questions and concerns and took time to explain everything. Both appointments were very positive experiences.
Thank you ever so much for your kind words, it is of paramount importance to us that our patients have a positive experience when attending their appointments. We look forward to seeing you soon.

Alastair is so patient, competent, reassuring and sympathetic. He has a great sense of humour that has got this previously quaking jelly through several complicated procedures. I've never known a dentist who can do such painless anaesthetic injections - thanks, Alastair!
We are pleased that you have had a positive experience with us and would like to thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback.
