Dr Hyde completed his Bachelors Degree in Dentistry in 1982 at the University of Sydney and spent 2 years in Westmead hospital as a staff dentist. He was invited to take up a post in the United Dental Hospital Orthodontic Department which he began in late 1984. In 1987 he commenced his Masters of Dental Science (Orthodontics) course at the University of Sydney. On completion of this course he moved to Canberra to practise with Dr David Thornton Taylor from November 1998.
While working he successfully completed the prestigious exam by the Royal Australasian College of Dental Surgeons and was admitted as a Fellow of the Royal College of Dental Surgeons in the Special Field of Orthodontics. He is one of only 7 orthodontists in the world with this qualification.
His focus is on clinical excellence and practises his profession in a fun filled, friendly atmosphere as he passionately believes that professionalism is not about being serious or aloof but rather defined by doing excellent work and treating his patients and staff exceptionally well.
