Torwood Dental Practice Welcomes Experienced Oral Surgeon

Clyde Munro’s Torwood Dental Practice in Inverness has welcomed the arrival of highly experienced oral surgeon Andrew Brewer, expanding access to specialist surgical treatment for patients across the Highlands.

Andrew brings more than 40 years of surgical expertise to the practice. Upon graduating from Leeds University, Andrew began his career as a clinical tutor in oral surgery before moving into specialist roles across England and Scotland.

His early work in Barnsley, Raigmore, and general practice in Grantown-on-Spey was followed by more than three decades as an Associate Specialist in Oral Surgery at Glasgow’s Royal Infirmary. During that time, he provided surgical care for medically compromised patients, including those undergoing major heart procedures, kidney treatment, or intensive care stays, where his dental interventions helped reduce life-threatening infections such as ventilator-associated pneumonia.

Andrew’s career has been defined by a commitment to delivering high-quality surgical care with a strong patient focus. He is listed on the General Dental Council’s specialist lists for both oral surgery and special care dentistry, and he holds a membership of the Royal College of Surgeons of Glasgow.

Additionally, Andrew was involved in the management of patients taking anticoagulants and antiplatelet drugs, as well as patients with congenital bleeding disorders. He is a member of the World Federation of Haemophilia (WFH), was the chair of the WFH dental committee for six years, and has been involved in the development of both UK and international guidelines for the dental care of this group of patients.

Now focusing solely on his role with Clyde Munro, Andrew has set up a monthly oral surgery clinic at Torwood Dental Practice. He said: “What we’re doing in Inverness is delivering safe, effective oral surgery in a way that makes it easier for both patients and referring dentists.

“Instead of two or more appointments, we aim to complete a comprehensive consultation and treatment in just one visit. This allows for a simpler pathway and makes a real difference for patients travelling from across the Highlands.”

Charlie Evans, Head of Clinical at Clyde Munro, said: “We know how few options there are for patients in the Highlands who need oral surgery, so we’re delighted to welcome Andrew to offer this specialist service in the heart of Inverness. This will reduce travel, streamline care and ensure greater support for patients across the Highlands and beyond with complex oral needs. His experience and expertise are a real asset, and we’re proud to be offering this level of care locally.”

Andrew’s appointment at Torwood Dental Practice is part of Clyde Munro’s wider commitment to clinical excellence and broadening access to specialist dentistry across Scotland.
