Many prosthodontists, such as Dr. Wright, have taken further surgical training in implant dentistry. There are only a few American-trained prosthodontists practising in the UK. Dr. Wright is currently the only California trained and licensed prosthodontist in the UK. Dr. Wright has ten years clinical practice experience in California and fifteen years previous practice experience in Canada.
The American Board of Prosthodontics set down a series of clinical, oral and written examinations spanning several years. Just a small percentage of prosthodontists take these rigorous examinations hence only a dozen become certified each year. Those who pass become Diplomates of the American Board of Prosthodontics. There are only four American Board Certified Prosthodontists practising in the UK.
