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.
Welcome from the Co-Chairs
Welcome from Dr Veronica Morris and Dr Jayne Cooper!
Jayne and I are delighted to serve as Joint Chairs of the Alpha Omega London Chapter for 2026–2027.
We have put together an exciting programme designed to give general dental practitioners practical tips and techniques that they can take straight back to their practices and put into use the very next day.
Veronica Morris:
I have been involved with the London Chapter for over forty years, and it has shaped my professional skills. Professor Andrew Eder introduced me to Alpha Omega when I first qualified and from there I was introduced to Dr Harris Sidelsky who was running a course for general practitioners. This transformed the way I approached dentistry and set me on the path to continuous improvement.
Jayne Cooper:
Veronica, a fellow parent at my son's school, encouraged me to join Alpha Omega and I have now been a member for over 15 years.
I am an orthodontist and have been practising in North West London for more than 40 years. Joining Alpha Omega has broadened my knowledge of the different dental specialties and helped me integrate this understanding into my orthodontic practice. Through the Society's educational programme, I have benefited from lectures on endodontics, implant dentistry, and the management of dental trauma in children.

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.
