Richard Williams
Richard is a highly experienced Clinician, qualifying in dentistry at Guy’s Hospital in 1993 and then as a Specialist Orthodontist in 2001. He has since provided high-quality orthodontic care in both hospital and specialist practice. Richard was an associate at Cygnet Orthodontics some 10 years ago and is delighted to be making a return!
From an early age Richard saw how enjoyable and rewarding Orthodontics can be through his Father, who was also an Orthodontist! As a teenager he helped pour-up the patients plaster models and was able to see the incredible improvements braces made to their smiles. In carrying on the family tradition, it is very apparent in his relaxed and friendly manner, how much enjoyment and satisfaction Richard gets from his specialty.
Outside dentistry Richard is an accomplished French horn player. He started playing aged 7 years and has never stopped, continuing to get great pleasure, and relaxation, playing in the Richmond Orchestra. For anyone concerned about the effect of braces on their brass or wind instrument playing, Richard is in a unique position to provide the advice and reassurance needed. Richard is also kept busy at home with his wife, Bridget, and sons, Jonty and Felix.
