Dr Brian Vaughan

Brian Vaughan joined the Appletree team in January 2017, offering high-quality, good-value root canal treatments. This branch of dentistry is called endodontics, and Brian’s work at Appletree is undertaken solely on referral from other dental colleagues.

Since qualifying from Queen’s University Belfast in 1998, Brian worked in general practice in England before returning to Northern Ireland, where he worked in general practice and in the Restorative department of the Royal Victoria Hospital. Over this time and after attending numerous postgraduate courses, he developed a Special Interest in Endodontics. In 2017 he completed a Masters in Endodontics from King’s College London with distinction, and is currently a clinical supervisor on this Masters programme.

Brian has completed training in the use and interpretation of CBCT imaging, and regularly uses this latest imaging technique to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of complex cases. He is a member of the British Endodontic Society and a certified trainer for Dentsply Sirona.

Outside of dentistry, Brian is married with three children. He enjoys gardening and is a keen sports fan, especially tennis.
