Pure is built on reputation

Pure dentists all have extensive experience, postgraduate training and qualifications in their respective fields to enable the delivery of comprehensive, advanced restorative and preventive dentistry ably supported by experienced and trained staff.

Pure Dental Health is well known in Devon and Cornwall for the skills and knowledge in the fields of Dental Implants and Cosmetic Dentistry because of the team’s dedication to help train and introduce other practitioners to the fields of Implantology and Restorative Dentistry, both nationally and internationally.

With these credentials, it’s perhaps no surprise to learn that a significant amount of treatment provided is from local dentists referring their patients to Pure Dental Health.

Mark Durnall

Dentist

Mark moved to Cornwall with his wife Stella in January 2008 so that they could raise their young family in one of the most beautiful areas of the country. He cycled from Lands’ End to John O’Groats in 2009 for MNDA and has not been on a bike since! You are more likely to find him on a golf course or spending time with his family. Mark has always said that Dentistry is his hobby, he loves his job! He is passionate about dentistry and hopes that this shows in his work. He is continually pushing himself to advance his skills and keep up with the latest technologies, as you can read below. Mark believes that trust is the cornerstone to building relationships with his clients and he uses digital imagery, 3D CBCT scans and bespoke models to help build this trust quickly. He invests heavily into his practice with the latest technology so that patients can benefit from the best care possible. This ranges from the latest 3D CBCT scanner, and intra-oral scanner to providing up-to date sterilisation equipment. Mark also takes pride in creating a relaxed environment for his patients care, which is evident at Pure.
