I’m Omar, the owner and principal dentist at Marton Dental Practice in Marton, Middlesbrough. I’ve been looking after patients’ smiles here for over 10 years, and my goal is simple: to provide the kind of dentistry I would want for myself and my own family—thorough, honest, and genuinely caring.
I’ve always been passionate about doing things properly and to a high standard, which is why I’ve invested heavily in advanced training throughout my career. My postgraduate qualifications include:
Alongside treating patients, I’m also involved in training the next generation of dentists through foundation dental training. Helping younger colleagues develop their skills and clinical judgement keeps me on my toes and ensures we maintain high standards across the profession.
This combination of advanced training and teaching means I can offer a wide range of treatments in-house—from complex root canal treatments and cosmetic smile makeovers, to advanced restorative work and minimally invasive dentistry.
My main clinical interests are:
I particularly enjoy treating more complex cases—patients who have been told their teeth can’t be saved, or who feel their smile is “too far gone”. With careful planning, modern techniques, and the right technology, we can often achieve results that are both life-changing and long-lasting.
I’ll happily admit I’m a bit of a gadget enthusiast—both in and out of the surgery. In dentistry, that means I’m always looking to incorporate the latest proven technology and methods into the way we work, such as:
The aim isn’t to use tech for the sake of it, but to make treatment more precise, more comfortable, and more predictable for our patients.
For me, dentistry is not just about teeth—it’s about people. I believe in:
Many of our patients are nervous or have had bad experiences elsewhere. My job is to change that—by being gentle, patient, and transparent, and by showing that modern dentistry can be comfortable and positive.
I’m very proud of the team we’ve built at Marton Dental Practice. We have highly trained dentists, hygienists, nurses, and a dedicated treatment coordinator who all share the same values: kindness, attention to detail, and putting patients first.
We also work closely with other dentists in the area. Many colleagues refer patients to us for advanced root canal treatments, cosmetic cases, and implants, and we’re always happy to collaborate and send patients back with a stable, healthy result.
Outside of clinical work, I’m committed to ongoing education—keeping up with the latest research, techniques, and technologies so our patients benefit from modern, evidence-based care.
Away from dentistry, I like spending time with my family, and I have a particular weakness for gadgets of all kinds (not just the dental ones). I also enjoy karting when I get the chance—and, much to my team’s amusement, I have a strong dislike for bad grammar and spelling. Attention to detail seems to follow me everywhere.
If you’re considering joining the practice—whether for routine care, a cosmetic treatment, or a more complex case—I’d be delighted to meet you, listen to your concerns, and help you plan the best way forward for your smile.

At Marton Dental Practice, regular dental check-ups are essential for maintaining good oral health. While the exact frequency may vary depending on individual needs, routine dentist and hygienist visits are part of your preventive armour against dental infections and gum disease. For most people, check-ups are recommended every 6 months, though patients at higher risk may be advised to come in more frequently.
Tooth sensitivity can be caused by several factors, including:
If you’re experiencing sensitivity, it could also be a sign of underlying gum disease or the early stages of a dental infection that may require attention, such as a root canal treatment if left untreated.
Marton Dental Practice offers professional at-home teeth whitening using White Dental Beauty products. This treatment involves:
The process is non-invasive, gentle on sensitive teeth, and results can last for years with good maintenance.
Bleeding gums are often a sign of gum disease, caused by the build-up of plaque and tartar. If left untreated, this can progress to serious gum damage, tooth loss, and even systemic health issues like cardiovascular disease.
Marton Dental’s hygienists offer:
Early treatment can reverse gum disease and prevent more invasive procedures later.
