Dr Ian Wellings

I always wanted to be happy at work. From school days, I had this one goal in mind and decided that dentistry was for me. I wanted to work with people and not paper; I wanted to be creative. I loved every minute at University. It was apparent to me that after uni was when you begin to learn your craft. To that end my analysis suggested that joining the military, and in particular The Royal Air Force, would provide me with a career pathway of working and, very crucially, learning from excellent clinicians. I learned preventative dentistry, worked in RAF Germany, then German private practice. Then I read about dental implants and trained with Dr Hilt Tatum in the US. Since then I have become an experienced implant dentist. Member of the AAID, ADI, SPOH and SAAD.
