BDS (Edin) MFDS RCPS (Glas) Mr David Offord graduated in dentistry from Edinburgh University in 1994. He moved from general practice to hospital-based oral and maxillofacial surgery in 2000. David undertook senior house officer postings in North Wales, London, Fife and Forth Valley. From 2004 to 2006 he was staff grade in oral and maxillofacial surgery in Fife, where he continued to acquire extensive surgical experience, particularly in facial trauma and cutaneous malignancy. In 2001 he attained the MFDS from the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow, and in 2007 he became a registered specialist in oral surgery. David has also spent two years of his career practicing overseas, namely in Australia and Singapore. In addition to his work at Edinburgh Dental Specialists, David teaches Masters Students, SHOs and GPTs in the department of oral surgery, Edinburgh Postgraduate Dental Institute. David’s principal role within the practice is the surgical placement of dental implants. David works very closely with his prosthodontic colleagues, striving to produce the best possible aesthetic outcome for your patients. David is a surgical mentor for Nobel Biocare, 3i and Straumann, and is keen to develop close links with referring colleagues who wish to expand their implant practice. Many dentists do not wish to tackle the surgical aspect of dental implantology, preferring to develop their expertise in the restoration of implants. While he is willing to mentor dentists who have come through recognised courses in their surgical placements, David would also be delighted to carry out the surgery on their behalf at Rose Street. David has a particular interest in the management of anxious patients requiring oral surgery, and is currently studying for a diploma in conscious sedation at the University of Newcastle. He would welcome your referrals of anxious patients requiring dental implants, or indeed conventional oral surgery such as removal of impacted wisdom teeth, which might be best managed under conscious sedation. < Back to The Specialists |
