Dr Ruth Brady is a multi-award winning Dental Surgeon who has gained recognition for her work in the field of dentistry known as Advanced Facial Aesthetics.

Dr Ruth works non- surgically on the face to improve a range of features. She improves profiles by changing the balance between the nose and the chin and enhances features to make the face look younger. She can slim down the face by reducing the size of the jaw muscles

She also has great success in treating oro-facial pain and jaw joint pain, symptoms of clenching and grinding, certain types of headaches and excessive sweating.

Ruth has been asked to give various lectures on her subject in London, Manchester and Leeds.

Aesthetically, Ruth is a great believer in natural results, consistent with normal anatomy. The ‘natural look’ is her hallmark. She considers the whole face to assess how youth and balance can be restored, in accordance with correct anatomy, rather than just considering features in isolation. In her in-depth consultations she tries to understand what the patient’s concerns are, and what they would like to achieve. It is important that both patient and operator have a clear view of objectives and expectations before treatment commences. Using the most up-to-date techniques utilising cannulae rather than needles she is able to reduce ‘downtime’ to a minimum and allow patients to return to work or social activities more quickly.

In full face cases, she likes to do her work in stages to achieve a gradual transformation. It is then not obvious that the patient has been receiving treatment. She is a very empathetic clinician who is very good with nervous patients.

Her work had boosted the appearances and confidence of many patients to date and she has produced two books illustrating her work. These are used for patient education and show how this type of work can make such a difference to the face and yet look so natural.

In cases of oro–facial pain, Ruth has reduced symptoms of jaw pain, jaw-joint pain and headaches by as much as 90% in many cases. This has been life-changing for many patients.
