ABOUT THE AUTHOR
David Wilson is a partner in Causeway Dental, a general practice in Bally- money, Northern Ireland, treating a wide range of both NHS and private patients. He said: “We are increasingly applying the concept
of ‘straighten, whiten and contour’, using minimally invasive techniques for adult aesthetic cases. Venus Diamond is an integral part of that process, which provides dramatic results with little intervention.”
David has completed specialist courses in advanced cosmetic and implant dentistry. He has also assisted
in teaching to dental students at Queens University, Belfast. He provides a full range of general and cosmetic dentistry to private patients, with the addition of sedation for more complex cases. His greatest satisfaction comes from seeing patients through their treatment to gain the smile they have always wanted.
