Mark Durnall

Mark graduated from Bristol University in 2000. In 2005 he became one of the first practitioners in the UK of ClearStep, the invisible brace, and he continues to provide clear aligner braces. In 2006 he completed a three-year diploma in postgraduate dental studies, which had special interests in oral surgery, sedation and prosthetics.

In 2008 he became a full member of the BACD, the British Association of Cosmetic Dentists. This means Mark must uphold the highest standard of cosmetic dentistry skills to maintain his membership. Also, in 2008, he finished the General Implant Forum and Training (GIFT) implant course run by Warwick University.

In 2009 he began his studies into occlusion (the way we bite) with the Dawson clinic from the United States. Mark continued advancing his skills in occlusion at the European Dawson Clinic. He has attended advanced level occlusion courses enabling him to treat complex dental issues like tooth wear and TMJ dysfunction. He was one of the first and only practitioners on Cerezen in the UK, a unique treatment for TMJD. He works closely with his wife Stella who is a spinal specialist physiotherapist in the treatment of complex facial pain.

In 2018 Mark finished his studies in a European Diploma in Implant Dentistry. This is a practical assessment carried out over 3 years by multiple European Universities. The course was run by world renowned dentists giving the broadest base of knowledge possible.

He is also a member of ITI, International Team for Implantology, which sets the protocols for Implant dentistry worldwide, in addition Mark is a member of the EAO, European Association of Osseo-integration: this is a nonbiased association that looks at all research worldwide related to implant dentistry. Mark uses several implant systems and has done many advanced courses in Implantology, this has enabled him to provide complex procedures such as ‘Teeth in a day’, bone grafting, sinus lifts and gum grafting, that other clinics cannot offer. Mark places and restores around 250 implants per year, making him one of the most experienced implantologists in the country. He lectures nationally on implantology, enabling other clinicians to provide implants to their patients.

In 2019 Mark has developed a technique that allows him to deliver teeth in a day, normally a 7-8-hour procedure, in under 4 hours by using digital technology, new implant components and multiple techniques he has learnt over the years. He is the only clinician to be offering this in the country, highlighting the fact that Mark is continually pushing himself so that his patients can benefit from receiving world class dental care.
