Who we are
Alpha Omega is the oldest international dental organisation and was founded in Baltimore, Maryland in 1907 by a group of dental students originally to fight discrimination in dental schools.
There are chapters and members in cities and dental schools in the United States, Canada, South America, Europe, Israel, South Africa and Australia/New Zealand. Alpha Omega represents about 6,000 active dentists and dental students worldwide.
Chairman’s Welcome
It is a genuine honour and privilege to serve as Chairman of the Alpha Omega Dental Society London.
Since its inception, Alpha Omega has long held a special place in our profession; uniting dental professionals across generations and disciplines under the shared values of fraternalism, charity, and education. The London chapter continues to flourish because of the deep commitment of its members and the vibrant, supportive community we’ve built together. We are also very proud of our growing Young Dentist Alpha Omega group and its exciting programme of events.
Like many of you, my own professional path has been shaped by unexpected turns and timely mentorship. Growing up in 1990s Manchester, surrounded by the energy of Oasis, Manchester United and the Hacienda, dentistry might not have seemed the obvious direction. But it was a combination of a lucky career questionnaire and a deep-seated desire to help people through science and technical craft that led me to Leeds Dental Institute and ultimately to endodontics, my true passion.
I was fortunate to train at the Eastman and to work under some of the finest mentors in the field. With perseverance and a bit of calculated risk, I transitioned from general practice to becoming a Specialist in Endodontics. Today, I am proud to serve patients and mentor colleagues through my work at the Harley Street Academy of Advanced Endodontics, and as a lecturer at the Eastman Dental Institute. Education and community remain at the heart of everything I do, which is why Alpha Omega’s mission resonates so strongly with me.
I am deeply grateful to our immediate past Chair; Kevin Silver for his exceptional leadership. I would also like to thank our incredible committee for their relentless behind the scenes work in bringing this year’s programme to life and for all they do to contribute to the continued growth of our Chapter.
Welcoming new members
Alpha Omega dental fraternity is a non-sectarian fraternity and although we have a Judaic heritage, we welcome members of all faiths and backgrounds.
If you are not already a member of Alpha Omega, why not consider joining! In doing so you get friendly camaraderie, quality CPD and will be supporting charitable dental causes, around the world.
Student membership
One of the benefits of student and newly qualified (up to 3 years from qualification), membership in Alpha Omega Dental fraternity is the opportunity to spend time and learn from practising dentists first hand. We are proud to offer an opportunity for student and newly qualified dentists to spend a day with dentists and dental specialists of your choice so that you can experience the real world of being a dentist.
Clinical practice is often very different to experiences in dental school and the opportunity to watch a dentist go through the daily trials and tribulations, including all aspects of running a practice and not just the clinical elements, is invaluable.
