Your Dentist - Dr David Fox
-
Dr David Fox qualified in 1988 from King's College Hospital, London as a Bachelor in Dental Surgery (B.D.S.), where he was awarded the Senior Prize in Conservative Dentistry. After qualifying, he worked for six years in the Hospital Dental service, mainly in Hertfordshire.
-
Since 1994 David has worked primarily in General Dental Practices, while still continuing some hospital work. He was part-time, Locum Consultant in St. Albans City Hospital for two years, and performed monthly Locum Consultant operating sessions at the Lister Hospital in Stevenage until February 2001, when he decided to dedicate all his time to the Centre.
-
In 1993 David was awarded the Fellowship in Dental Surgery (F.D.S.), by the Royal College of Surgeons in Glasgow. In 2000 he was officially recognised as a ‘Specialist in Oral Surgery’ by the General Dental Council.
-
After completing a number of dental implant training courses, in June 2001 he graduated from a year’s advanced course in dental implantology at the Tatum Institute. American Dr Hilt Tatum (the Institute’s Founder, and currently a Professor at Lille University in France) has, over the last 30 years, invented many of the techniques used in dental implantology today. Having been personally tutored by Dr Tatum, David Fox is able to incorporate many of these advanced techniques such as sinus grafting, ridge expansion and other grafting procedures into his practice.
- In June 2005 he completed a part-time, year long
course at the world-renowned Eastman Dental Institute in London, towards
attaining their first ever Advanced Certificate in Implantology.
- In 2009 he completed a course in Advanced Occlusion. This has enabled him, for example, to help some patients with recurrent headaches, with amazing results.
- David is also a member of a number of dental organisations including:
• The British Dental Association (B.D.A.)
• The Association of Dental Implantology (A.D.I.)
• The Tatum Institute of Implantology
• The British Association of Surgical Dentistry (B.A.S.D.)
-
• International Partnership for the Study of Occlusion
• The Society for Advancement of Anaesthesia in Dentistry (S.A.A.D.)
-
All of this experience and training, means that David Fox is able to treat a wide range of dental conditions. He prides himself in keeping up to date with the latest advances, and will continue to attend courses on all aspects of dentistry, to ensure that The Bay Tree Dental Centre offers an advanced service for patients into the future.
