He is a Consultant at the University Dental Hospital Manchester and The Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital, as well as an Honorary Clinical Lecturer at The University of Manchester.

Lewis provides specialist care for children and adolescents with a wide range of dental needs, including dental anxiety, developmental dental anomalies, dental trauma, additional needs and complex medical histories. He has particular expertise in managing more complex cases and understands the importance of creating a calm, reassuring and positive experience for both children and their families.

He graduated in Dentistry from the University of Sheffield in 2012 before undertaking specialist and consultant training at the Edinburgh Dental Institute. He was awarded Membership in Paediatric Dentistry (MPaedDent) from the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow and completed a Master’s degree in Paediatric Dentistry at the University of Edinburgh, graduating with Distinction.

As a Consultant, Lewis manages complex cases as part of multidisciplinary teams, working closely with specialists across Orthodontics, Oral Surgery, Restorative Dentistry and Oral Medicine. This breadth of experience enables him to provide highly comprehensive care, particularly for children whose dental needs require a coordinated and specialist approach.

Before specialising in Paediatric Dentistry, Lewis gained extensive hospital experience across Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Restorative Dentistry, Orthodontics, Community Dentistry and Paediatric Dentistry. He has also maintained a strong commitment to research and education, with his work published in peer-reviewed dental journals, including the British Dental Journal, and presented nationally and internationally at conferences including the British Society of Paediatric Dentistry and the European Association of Paediatric Dentistry.

Lewis is passionate about teaching and education and holds a Postgraduate Certificate in Medical Education. Alongside his clinical work, he continues to teach dentists in training and clinicians at The University of Manchester.

He has also volunteered internationally as a dentist in Brazil and Honduras, providing care to communities with limited access to dental services.

Above all, Lewis is committed to providing exceptional, evidence-based paediatric dental care that is tailored to each child’s individual needs. He places great importance on building trust with children and their families, taking the time to understand their concerns and ensuring that every child receives thoughtful, personalised care in a supportive environment.

Outside dentistry, Lewis enjoys keeping active through road biking and running, has an interest in photography and loves to spend time with his family. One of his favourite past times is taking his young son out for a run in his running pram.
