Mr George Paolinelis
Specialist & Consultant Oral Surgeon

George is a Consultant Oral Surgeon and Clinical Director of Cleriden, a specialist referral practice dedicated to advanced oral surgery and implant dentistry. Trained at Guy’s Hospital, where he also works as a Consultant Oral Surgeon, George combines academic excellence with a warm, patient-focused approach. He is passionate about surgery and committed to providing highly personalised care, helping patients feel reassured and confident even when undergoing complex treatment.

With extensive experience in advanced surgical and implant procedures, George has developed a particular interest in complex bone grafting techniques, especially autogenous bone grafting using the patient’s own bone. His practice includes zygomatic implants, sinus augmentation, full-arch reconstruction, “teeth in a day” treatments, management of high-risk wisdom teeth, surgical exposure and bonding of impacted teeth, and autotransplantation of teeth. He is known for taking on challenging cases that are often referred from other clinicians, approaching each one with careful planning, precision, and attention to long-term outcomes. Alongside clinical practice, he is actively involved in teaching implant dentistry and mentoring other dentists and surgeons.

George believes outstanding surgical care is built on trust, communication, and meticulous attention to detail. He takes pride in combining advanced surgical expertise with a calm and thoughtful manner, ensuring patients feel fully supported throughout their treatment journey. Outside of dentistry, he enjoys spending time with his family, sailing, and skiing — interests that reflect the balance, focus, and discipline he brings to both his professional and personal life.
