Mr James Gallagher

Consultant Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon

BDS (Lond), LDSRCS (Eng), FDSRCS (Eng), FFDRCSI, MB, BS (Lond), MRCS (Eng), FRCS (OMFS) GDC Number: 64173

Mr Gallagher took up his first post as a Consultant Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon at Northampton General

Hospital in March 2006, having completed his dental and medical degrees in London (United Medical and Dental Schools of Guy’s and St Thomas’s Hospitals), with subsequent years of basic and higher specialist training in Dorset, Northern Ireland, and Scotland. His main clinical interests at the Droitwich Spa Dental Aesthetics & Implant Centre, are the management of facial pain, including temporomandibular joint disorders (TMJD) and oral surgery, including the removal of teeth under local anaesthesia and sedation, where available. In the NHS and private hospitals Mr Gallagher works in, he looks after emergency cases such as severe infections of the head and neck, often but not always arising from dental infections, maxillofacial trauma, including fractures of the jaws, cheekbones and eye sockets. He also undertakes elective skin cancer surgery of the head and neck and the management of patients undergoing facial deformity / orthognathic surgery. He works closely with Dermatologists for skin surgery patients and Orthodontists for patients undergoing corrective jaw surgery.

Mr Gallagher has been formally involved in the training of junior and specialist trainees, over many years. He finds it very gratifying when his trainees are successful in their chosen fields, be that as a specialist Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon, or a General Dental Practitioner. One such trainee, who worked with Mr Gallagher at Northampton General Hospital, was Dr Vivek Chadha, the Principal Dentist and Owner of Droitwich Spa Dental Aesthetics & Implant Centre. Dr Chadha was a most gifted and talented junior dentist and, in the years, since he was working with Mr Gallagher at Northampton General Hospital, he has developed specialist skills in many areas of dental practice.

Mr Gallagher was very pleased to find that Dr Chadha had also moved to Worcestershire, and is delighted to be working with Dr Chadha and his colleagues in Droitwich Spa Dental Aesthetics & Implant Centre. Mr Gallagher is available to see referred patients for assessment and treatment in the dental practice most weeks. The facilities for diagnosis and treatment at the Droitwich Spa Dental Aesthetics & Implant Centre, including state of the art dental imaging equipment, allow Mr Gallagher to provide a high-quality diagnostic and treatment service, including the surgical removal of impacted teeth, such as wisdom teeth, buried roots, dental cysts, oral mucosal lesions, and the management of facial pain, including temporomandibular joint disorders.

Outside work, Mr Gallagher likes to keep fit, swim, cycle and play golf. He also likes to spend time with his family, particularly as he doesn’t see so much of his two children who are currently both away from home studying at university!
