About Alan Richard Woods

Richard studied at the University of Bristol Dental School and qualified in 2001. Having come from Neath originally, he came back to South Wales to develop his dentistry further. Having worked in General and Family Dental practices in South and West Wales since qualifying, he has invested a great deal of time on many courses across the UK to enhance his skills in Cosmetic and Complex Dentistry. Richard is committed to post graduate education and has travelled extensively to further his knowledge and skills in cosmetic dentistry and has undertaken a year-long Certificate Course in Dental Implantology with one of the UK’s leading Implant Dentists. Richard is also an Educational Supervisor for Dental Foundation Training and has completed Post Graduate Diploma in Medical Education with the University of Bedfordshire. Richard enjoys his work with the Wales Deanery helping mentor young dentists and aid their career progression. Richard aims to provide the latest techniques and experiences here to Swansea without you having to travel further afield. Richard has a clam and caring manner and loves to build a rapport with his patients, especially those that follow his beloved Ospreys! When away from work Richard has a young family and feels he has to be just as quick as when he did Athletics just to catch up to them. Having always enjoyed sport Richard has now hung up his boots but still actively follows the Ospreys and the Swans, as well as almost any other sports. In his spare time Richard enjoys travelling, sampling foods and cultures. Richard brings this home and is a keen amateur cook, you never know one day he may even enter Masterchef!!!
