About Mark Durnall

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 graduated from Bristol University in 2000. In 2005 he became one of the first practitioners in the UK of Clearstep the invisible brace and 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. 2008 he became a full member of the BACD, the British Association of Cosmetic Dentists. This means Mark has to maintain the highest standard of cosmetic dentistry skills to maintain his membership.

In 2009 he began his studies into occlusion (the way we bite) with the Dawson clinic from the United States. In 2011 Mark continued advancing his skills in occlusion with Ian Buckle at the European Dawson Clinic based in Liverpool. He has attended advanced level courses enabling him to work towards a diploma in Functional Aesthetics and will be one of a few dentists in the country to achieve this. 2013 mark and Paul invested in laser technology giving their patients world case technology, from gum treatments to surgery. Mark moved to Cornwall with his wife Stella in January 2008. In 2009 he cycled from Lands End to John O'Groats in eleven days in aid of the Motor Neurone Disease Association.
