Here, Dr Richard Coates explains how he helped to give a patient her smile back after an alleged assault:

I treated this case in my practice 13 months after successfully completing the Newcastle University (UK), postgraduate diploma in clinical implant dentistry in December 2017.

I had carried out a little implant dentistry prior to attending the programme and what I wanted was a university implant qualification grounded in evidence, with one-to-one clinical teaching on all stages of implant treatment.

I also wanted the patients to be provided by the organisers. The course, using Nobel Biocare implants, was rigorous with various kinds of assessment at all stages.

This gave me a real sense of achievement.
