Esthetique Dental Team
If you are looking for a new dentist in Shrewsbury, for general or cosmetic work, please say hello to our team below.
Thomas Norlin
General and Cosmetic Dentist, Implantologist (GDC No: 74192)
Bio
Dental Surgeon DDS, Odont Lic, Diploma in Halitosis,
ADI, ITI, BACD, BDA
- Implantology
- Cosmetic Dentistry
- Halitosis
Thomas joined a private practice in Surrey in 1998 and decided early in his career to focus on the aesthetic rehabilitation of the teeth and bite, without using amalgam or metals.
In 2000, Thomas finished training as an implant surgeon and since then he has spent most of his time with general, cosmetic and implant dentistry. Realising his views of patient focus and forward-thinking dentistry were not compatible with the corporate dental practices he worked for, in 2013 Thomas decided to launch his own dental practice in Shrewsbury – Esthetique Dental – to offer the best possible dental care.
Now that the practice is well established in Shropshire, Thomas has scaled back his clinical time. His focus is on dental implants and complex cosmetic cases.
Thomas’ hobbies include cooking good food (and eating it!), travelling the world and skiing.
“I like to be proud of my work, but most importantly I like patients to be proud of their teeth.”
