Dentistry magazine has published its list of the top 50 influencers in the dental profession for 2024 — people who have made the biggest difference in shaping the profession over the past year.
Professor Bill Sharpling, Associate Dean at King’s College London, Director of the London Dental Education Centre and our dentures expert at Elmsleigh House has been selected for inclusion in this list of opinion leaders, mentors and educators in dentistry.
There is no single metric for inclusion in the Dentistry Top 50 2024. The list comprises opinion leaders, mentors and educators – people pushing to extend the dental community’s collective knowledge. They stand shoulder to shoulder with researchers, campaigners and activists: those working tirelessly to improve things for the profession or simply to find some way to deliver oral healthcare where it is needed most.
And of course there are the giants of clinical care and general practice themselves – the clinicians at the sharp edge of dental practice in the UK.
Whether it’s building successful practices, advocating for those in dire need of oral care, or educating others to do the same, the passion and determination displayed have undeniably elevated the field.
The names on this list characterise the innovation, drive, passion and conviction that define dentistry in 2024, and Bill is certainly a worthy nominee. The whole team at Elmsleigh House are very proud of this remarkable achievement.
This is in addition to Bill being listed in Dentistry's 2023 Laboratory’s Leading 20, where he is recognised for his influence in driving dental technology forward.
Alongside Bill's roles as Associate Dean for Continuing Professional Development and Director of the London Dental Education Centre (LonDEC) at the Faculty of Dentistry, Oral & Craniofacial Sciences, King’s College London, Bill is the Clinical Dental Technician at Elmsleigh House.
Bill works tirelessly across all his roles, lecturing and teaching overseas and in the UK as well as providing bespoke denture solutions to patients and referrals to Elmsleigh House Dental Clinic.
You can book a denture consultation with Bill on a Monday at Elmsleigh House Dental Clinic, Farnham, where he will assess and design a bespoke denture solution for missing teeth.
