Meet Eduardo

The smile you present to the world matters.

Eduardo really understands this.

Nobody cares more about your orthodontic result than Eduardo.

He is technically serious, respects biology and understands mechanics. More importantly, he won’t take shortcuts. His perfectionism is grounded in deep knowledge and moderated by a keen understanding of what his patients need. Nobody cares more about your orthodontic result than Eduardo. He can remember practically every patient he’s ever treated. Brackets, wires and aligners are just tools to Eduardo. His real talent is clinical judgement. He knows precisely what to do and when to do it.

His clinical work spans traditional fixed braces, clear aligners and complex orthodontics. He treats adults and children and has particular experience with:

  • impacted and ectopic teeth
  • interceptive orthodontics
  • functional problems
  • cases where orthodontic treatment needs to be coordinated with restorative dentistry or other disciplines
Eduardo wants treatment finished efficiently, but never at the expense of the result. No shortcuts. No “good enough”. He cares about the finishing, the retention and what happens next.

Care and clinical judgement

Personally involved throughout treatment

His patients notice. Hundreds of Google reviews mention Eduardo by name and tell the same story: exceptional results, genuine care and extraordinary patience. Nervous patients feel safe. Children look forward to seeing him. Nobody feels rushed. The clinical evidence tells the same story. Eduardo has a team around him but stays personally involved throughout treatment. Eduardo holds an MClinDent in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopaedics and now teaches other clinicians. He lectures with Cephtactics and teaches advanced skeletal anchorage with Indigo Orthodontics. He frequently takes on difficult cases but there are no heroics. Good judgement means knowing when another clinician or discipline needs to be involved. Children are particularly close to Eduardo’s heart. As a father of four himself he loves treating children and has a particular interest in interceptive orthodontics and treating patients as they grow. Outside Smileworks, Eduardo is a devoted family man. He’s Portuguese, speaks five languages, plays classical guitar and sings. He has four children and somehow still finds time for football, sailing and surfing.

The orthodontic team

About Eduardo’s practice

Eduardo’s orthodontic practice is big, busy and happy. Hundreds of patients move through treatment each year. In 2025 the team delivered more than 2,200 orthodontic appointments with Eduardo at the centre of things supported by orthodontic therapists, nurses and the Smileworks front of house. It’s a large orthodontic practice that somehow feels like a small one. Everything flows and every patient feels important. Because they are important. Eduardo knows everyone, the team knows everyone and patients get to know us too. We joke that he could lose his computer and work from memory. That’s a rare compliment. In surgery there’s always music, someone laughing and clinicians and nurses having a nice time with patients. Treatment can last months or sometimes even years, so relationships form. That is how the practice has grown. One patient becomes a family, and that family brings another. With that growth comes responsibility: more people to look after, more appointments to organise and more promises to keep. The front-of-house team and everyone behind the scenes make it all happen. They manage diaries, answer questions, organise the next steps and keep patients supported between visits. A practice this busy needs proper systems and infrastructure, but it also needs people who care enough to make them work. And finishing treatments is a big deal here. Braces come off. Mirrors come out. There are enormous smiles, photographs, hugs and sometimes tears. But the numbers aren’t really the story. Hundreds of patients. Thousands of appointments. And somehow everybody is still known. That is the strange magic of Eduardo’s practice. To book with Dr Eduardo, call our team and arrange an orthodontic consultation on 0151 236 5166.
