Dr Andrew Armstrong

Special interest in Implants, Oral Surgery, Aesthetic and Sedation Dentistry In 2018, Wellington Dental Practice established the Somerset Implant Centre as a dedicated implant clinic within the practice. It is led by our experienced implant surgeon, Dr Andrew (Andy) Armstrong, who combines extensive surgical expertise with a gentle, patient-focused approach to care. He graduated from The Royal London Hospital School of Dentistry in 1999 with distinctions in both Restorative Dentistry and Oral Surgery and became a member of the Royal College of Surgeons of England in 2003. His early career included roles in several university hospitals across the UK, including Staff Grade Oral Surgeon posts at Musgrove Park and Yeovil District Hospitals. In 2011, Andy joined Wellington Dental Practice and has since dedicated his clinical practice exclusively to implant dentistry, oral surgery and sedation care. Supported by a skilled and dedicated team, including surgical nurse Jasmine, sedation nurse Tanisha and treatment coordinator Claire, whilst being backed by the ongoing investment by the practice in the latest technology, Andy delivers outstanding and predictable results for patients. Technologies include 3D CBCT imaging ensuring precise diagnostics and streamlined planning, TRIOS digital scanning, Platelet-Rich Fibrin (PRF), and Straumann implant systems, all enabling a full range of treatments from single-tooth implants to complex bone grafting procedures. Andy is especially experienced in helping nervous or anxious patients feel at ease using intravenous sedation. He works closely with colleagues at the practice who have special interests in periodontics, endodontics and restorative dentistry, allowing for a comprehensive and coordinated approach to even the most complex cases. He regularly attends national and international training to stay at the forefront of implant innovation and remains committed to delivering the highest standard of care in a modern, supportive environment. Andy is a member of both the International Team for Implantology (ITI) and the Society for the Advancement of Anaesthesia in Dentistry (SAAD).
