Alfonso Rao hails from a family of generations-old clinicians and dentists. You could say dentistry lives in the blood.
He graduated from the University of Chieti in his native Italy with distinction in 2007 – the youngest of his year group, aged just 23.
Alfonso went on to work as an oral surgeon in Caserta, Napoli and Pescara until moving to the UK in 2009. He spent time working in practices in Lincoln, Bath and Cheltenham before making Bristol his permanent home.
Since graduation, Alfonso has continued training and professional development, completing a three-year Diploma in implant dentistry at London’s renowned Eastman Dental Institute and training with the Global Institute for Dental Education in Los Angeles (2014).
