Dr Angus Pringle – Specialist Orthodontist

Angus Pringle is a specialist orthodontist based in Fareham, Hampshire, providing orthodontic treatment for children, teenagers and adults. His practice is limited exclusively to orthodontics, with a focus on carefully planned treatment, clear communication and long-term stability.

Education and Early Career

Angus studied dentistry at the University of Glasgow, graduating with honours in 2001, having achieved numerous distinctions, prizes and awards during his undergraduate training.

Following graduation, Angus worked at Newcastle Dental Hospital undertaking hospital rotations in restorative dentistry, paediatric dentistry and oral surgery. He also worked in general dental practice in Whitley Bay before spending time working overseas.

Angus and his wife then worked in Australia, gaining experience in both public healthcare in Queensland and private dental practice in Warrnambool, Victoria. This period broadened his clinical experience and reinforced the importance of patient-centred care across different healthcare systems.

Specialist Orthodontic Training

Angus fulfilled a lifelong ambition to become an orthodontist through specialist training at the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford and the UCL Eastman Dental Institute. He was awarded a Master’s degree (MSc) in Orthodontics with distinction, achieving distinctions in both academic and clinical components.

He also gained Membership in Orthodontics from the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, confirming his specialist status and advanced training in orthodontic treatment planning and delivery.

Consultant Experience

Angus undertook further advanced training to become a hospital consultant, completing posts at Queen Alexandra Hospital in Portsmouth and Bristol Dental School. During this time, he achieved the Intercollegiate Specialty Fellowship in Orthodontics, affiliating with the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh.

He subsequently worked as an orthodontic consultant at St Richard’s Hospital in Chichester and Worthing Hospital, managing complex orthodontic cases and contributing to specialist-led hospital services.

Awards, Recognition and Teaching

Throughout his career, Angus has received numerous professional awards, including the 3M Unitek Orthodontic Prize and the Howard Tonge Award. He was runner-up in the British Orthodontic Society ‘Against the Odds’ competition in both 2017 and 2025.

In 2023, Angus was awarded the ‘Everyday Hero’ award by Bupa Dental Care in recognition of his commitment to patients and colleagues. In 2024, he was the regional winner of Self-Employed Orthodontist of the Year at Bupa Dental Care.

In 2025 I was honoured to receive a Highly Commended award at the Private Dental Awards for my work on Mental Health Wellness in dentistry, an area which is so meaningful to me having lost my brother and several dental colleagues to suicide. 

Angus has published in peer-reviewed professional journals and has lectured nationally and internationally, contributing to the wider orthodontic profession.

As part of the Wessex Dental Specialist Centre, we have received several awards. In 2025 we recevied the Incredible Patient Experience award from Bupa Dental Care.

Patients regularly visit from Fareham, Portchester, Gosport, Whiteley and across Hampshire for specialist orthodontic care.

Outside the Practice

Outside of work, Angus is passionate about sport and endurance challenges. He has completed numerous triathlons, cycle sportives, running and swimming events, and in recent years has focused particularly on cycling.

Highlights include riding the Maratona dles Dolomites in Italy in both 2019 and 2022, and entering the Everesting Hall of Fame in May 2020 after climbing over 10,000 metres and riding more than 235km (145 miles) in just over 13 hours in a single ride.

In July 2024, Angus and his friend Rob completed the Flandrien Cycle Challenge in Belgium, riding over 400km across the famous cobbled roads.
