Dr Adrian Jacques

Senior Educational Training  Superviser

Dr Adrian Jacques

Senior Dentist | Clinical Educator | Leadership Mentor

“Excellence in dentistry begins with the alignment of clinical skill, scientific understanding, personal integrity and genuine care for the patient.”

With over 30 years of experience in mixed NHS and private dental practice, Dr Adrian Jacques is an accomplished clinician, educator and mentor with a deep passion for clinical excellence, ethical dentistry and the personal development of dental professionals.

Adrian believes that truly outstanding dentistry begins long before treatment starts. It begins with the clinician’s values, integrity, self-awareness and ability to develop meaningful relationships with patients. His teaching philosophy centres on the principle that exceptional clinical care must be underpinned by sound scientific evidence, ethical decision-making and genuine concern for each patient’s wellbeing.

A central theme of Adrian’s teaching is the importance of alignment between the clinician’s heart, mind and professional judgement. Through reflective practice, ethical communication and a thorough understanding of patient needs, he encourages dentists to develop the confidence and clarity to recommend treatments they genuinely believe will deliver the best outcomes for their patients.

 

Adrian delivers clinical education across a broad range of disciplines, with a particular emphasis on contemporary adhesive and minimally invasive restorative dentistry.

His principal teaching areas include:

  • Comprehensive Patient Assessment and Diagnosis – Developing a systematic, holistic approach to diagnosis, treatment planning and informed consent.
  • Periodontal Management – Understanding and implementing the S3-level clinical practice guidelines for the treatment of periodontitis.
  • Rotary Endodontics – Developing predictable techniques for contemporary endodontic treatment.
  • Occlusion – Understanding functional occlusion and its role in restorative treatment planning and long-term clinical success.
  • Dentine Bonding and Adhesive Luting – Exploring modern bonding protocols, including the use of heated composite resins for adhesive cementation.
  • Direct Composite Bonding – Developing the technical skills and artistic understanding required for predictable, aesthetic and functional restorations.
  • Deep Margin Elevation (DME) – Applying adhesive techniques to manage deep subgingival restorative margins.
  • Indirect Composite Restorations – Planning, fabricating and bonding composite inlays and onlays to preserve tooth structure and enhance restorative longevity.

Adrian is a strong advocate for the transition away from traditional, extensive amalgam-based restorative approaches towards more conservative, adhesive and tooth-preserving techniques.

He encourages clinicians to continually refine their bonding skills, embrace contemporary materials science and develop restorative workflows that preserve healthy tooth tissue while achieving durable, functional and aesthetic results.

Beyond clinical education, Adrian has developed a dedicated leadership and professional development programme within Antwerp Dental Group.

His programme challenges dentists to become the very best versions of themselves, both as clinicians and as individuals.

Central to this philosophy is the belief that every patient should be treated with the same care, honesty, compassion and consideration that a dentist would extend to a member of their own family or a close friend.

Through mentorship, self-reflection and leadership development, Adrian helps clinicians build confidence, strengthen their communication skills and cultivate lasting, trust-based relationships with their patients.

He places particular emphasis on the quality of the consultation and consent process, encouraging dentists to move beyond simply presenting treatment options towards developing a deeper understanding of each patient’s concerns, motivations, expectations and aspirations.

One of Adrian’s particular passions is helping dentists understand the relationship between ethical communication, clinical conviction and the successful development of private dental practice.

He is an unapologetic advocate for the growth of private dentistry when it enables clinicians to provide high-quality, patient-centred treatment supported by appropriate clinical resources, materials and time.

Adrian teaches ethical sales, persuasion and communication strategies grounded in professional integrity, clinical evidence and a genuine belief in the value of the treatments being recommended.

His philosophy is that effective ethical persuasion is not about selling treatment that patients do not need. It is about helping patients understand the value, benefits, limitations and alternatives of treatments that may genuinely improve their oral health, function and confidence.

He encourages dentists to develop the confidence to communicate comprehensive treatment options clearly and compellingly, while respecting each patient’s autonomy and right to make a fully informed decision.

Above all, Adrian believes that ethical success in dentistry arises when clinical excellence, professional integrity, personal conviction and the patient’s best interests are fully aligned.

His ultimate ambition is to nurture a generation of dentists who combine exceptional clinical skills with emotional intelligence, ethical leadership and the confidence to deliver outstanding patient care.
