Richard joined Smart Orthodontics in 2001 after completing his Bachelor of Dental Surgery from Otago, New Zealand and Doctor of Clinical Dentistry from the University of Adelaide. Since then he has been an active member of the orthodontic community, serving as a council member for several years and then as President of the South Australian Branch of the Australian Society of Orthodontists in 2007-2008.

With his wide range of experience and active involvement in both the orthodontic and craniofacial community, Richard strives to provide his patients with the best possible care.
