A winning combination

In the picturesque Wiltshire market town of Devizes, a quiet revolution in implant dentistry has been taking place over the past couple of years, as one practice's adoption of a easy to use implant system has led to a four-fold increase in patient numbers.

Martyn Cox first qualified as a dentist 20 years ago. He set up his first practice in Devizes in 1996, having previously run five clinics throughout Wiltshire, before launching his Ferndale Dental Clinic in 2008. The practice employs 20 staff, including two specialist associates in oral surgery and orthodontics, and with a strong interest in cosmetic and implant dentistry and facial aesthetics, has been carrying out 'in house' minor oral surgery for the past four years. Personally, Martyn has been developing his implant dentistry skills since 2005, when he studied an advanced implant training course where he learned how to deliver a wide range of treatments, starting with single units, before progressing to full arch rehabilitations, including all prosthetic stages.
