Colin Clamp

BDS Hons (London) DRDP Distinction (Eastman)

GDC Number 58504

Colin qualified from Guys Hospital Dental School in 1984 with Honours and Distinction in Dental Surgery. He started working as an associate at Manningtree Dental practice straight after qualifying and has been working there ever since, becoming the owner in 1987. The Practice has since grown from a two surgery into a thriving six surgery practice.

Colin has always loved dentistry and enjoyed developing his skills. He particularly enjoys aesthetic dentistry, endodontics (root treatments) and implants, but his focus is on prevention of dental disease.

He is a keen advocate of postgraduate education. He has postgraduate certificates in Surgical and Prosthetic Implantology, Dental Materials Science, Advanced Surgical and Prosthetic Implantology and Postgraduate Dental Education. In 2004 Colin gained the Diploma in Dental Restorative practice and passed with distinction. He also has recently attended courses to provide Cfast cosmetic alignment of teeth, where healthy front teeth of adults of all ages can be straightened with braces in 6-9 months.

Colin has enjoyed sharing his experience with other dentists and has been educational supervisor for newly qualified foundation dentists for 21 years, and regularly teaches at the Ipswich Hospital.

Colin keeps up to date with current materials and techniques and the materials and equipment that he uses is very different from those that were available when he qualified.

Outside work Colin spends most of the time on the water and is a keen kitesurfer, wakeboarder and snowboarder. He also loves to travel.

Colin enjoys all aspects of dentistry and the challenges it brings. Every patient is different with different needs and he enjoys getting to know his patients.
