Meera Ahluwalia Meera was appointed as a consultant in Paediatric Dentistry at College Hospital in 2003. At the time it was felt that the hypodontia clinic required a greater emphasis on a multidisciplinary approach. A regular monthly, and subsequently a bimonthly clinic was established with consultants and trainees attending from the different specialties to discuss the dental needs of these patients including those with related complex dental problems such as trauma and medical problems, such as ectodermal dysplasia. Aws Alani Aws Alani qualified in 2003 from King's College London. After completing vocational training in Essex and junior hospital positions at Guy's Hospital and King's College Hospital he completed a one year Masters programme in Endodontics at the Eastman. He moved to Morriston Hospital, Wales and then to Newcastle where he completed his specialist training in Restorative Dentistry in 2013. In 2013 Aws became the International Team for Implantology Scholar in Toronto, Canada, working at the Hospital for Sick Children and Bloorview Kids Rehabilitation Hospital. He returned to London in 2014 to become a full time Consultant in Restorative Dentistry at King's College Hospital.

Ravi is now undertaking a five year specialist training programme in Restorative Dentistry at King s College Hospital and William Harvey District General Hospital. He is also undertaking a part time MSc in Conservative Dentistry at the Eastman. Gavin Mack Gavin Mack has contributed to the combined Orthodontic and Restorative Clinic at King's since his appointment in 2008. During this time he has enjoyed developing his interest in the management of hypodontia patients.

Helen Tippett Helen Tippett was appointed to King s, as a consultant, in 2005. One of the challenges of the appointment was to develop the orthodontic and restorative service here at King s. Helen joined an established hypodontia team and implant clinic and subsequently set up the ortho/restorative clinic with Martin Kelleher to serve the needs of adult patients with hypodontia and other more complex ortho/restorative needs. As these services have grown and colleagues appointed to share the care of this group of patients Helen s main focus is now the management and treatment of hypodontia. Helen is currently involved in a multi-centre study aimed at assessing the quality of life of hypodontia patients and the potential impact of orthodontic and restorative treatment.
