Ian Clift

I am a highly experienced dentist who graduated from the University of Sheffield in 1982. I hold multiple professional qualifications, including BDS Sheff, LDS RCS Eng, and a Diploma in Implant Dentistry from the Royal College of Surgeons. I have been the principal dentist at Dentique for over 25 years and have a special interest in orthopaedic orthodontics, which focuses on guiding the growth and development of the jaws and dental arches.

I have been placing implants for 35 years. I have placed in the region of 20,000 implants. Experience of placing a range of manufactures implants.

My personal Life:

Married to Faye, I have 3 daughters and 1 Granddaughter. I grew up in St Albans and moved to Leicester after qualifying. I now lives in Kirby Muxloe, where I has been living for the past 12 years. 

I enjoy Skiing, sailing, hiking, camping, cycling and most outdoor pursuits. I support Southampton Football club. I am also a member of Cowes Island Sailing Club.

I am a member of the Holy Trinity church Leicester. 

I love holidays, mostly on the Isle of Wight where I have a holiday home and where I work every month. 

Philosophy: “To live a God centred life, to put peoples interests above your own and to be the best version of yourself.”

Enjoyment: “Developing my own skills and seeing those around me develop theirs.  To give 100% to what ever I am doing, live in peace and find joy in the smallest tasks.”

Things Ian doesn’t like: “ My feet being tickled, Tik Toc, Litter and Argumentative people.”

During the 1990’s I set up a large private practice in Leicester. This was voted the best practice in the UK at the Dental Practice Awards in 2000. My practice philosophy was to provide the best dental treatment at an affordable price. Offering a full range of dental treatments using the latest technology and innovation. I sold this practice in 2016 and now work freelance at 5 different practices in Leicestershire and in the Isle of Wight. I am always looking to expand the operation into new areas. 

Member of the ADI (Association of Dental Implantology) and BOS (British Orthodontic Society) as well as regularly attending the Dentistry show and completing Courses to update my knowledge in implantation, I really try to keep ahead of any of the latest techniques.
