How experienced is my dentist at placing implants?

At Perth Dental Implant Centre, our head dentists have dedicated their careers to advanced dental implant care.

Dr David Norcross brings over 15 years’ experience in implant surgery, having completed extensive international training including a Master Clinician in Implant Dentistry Programme with certificates from the Global Institute for Dental Education (gIDE) and the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA). He places more than 300 dental implants each year across our dedicated clinics, both recognised as All-on-4® Centres of Excellence, and is a key opinion leader for Nobel Biocare, delivering training and live surgery demonstrations for emerging dentists.

Dr David O’Dowling has also focused his career in implant dentistry for over a decade. He completed a Master of Science in Oral Implantology at Goethe Dental School, Germany, and holds Diplomate status with both the International Congress of Oral Implantologists and the American Board of Oral Implantology/Implant Dentistry, enabling specialist implant registration in the United States. His expertise spans surgical implant placement, full-arch restorations, and advanced prosthetic design.

Together, Dr Norcross and Dr O’Dowling combine extensive training, high surgical volume, and ongoing professional development to deliver implant care guided by precision, safety, and lasting results.
