ORAL SURGERY

 

Dentoalveolar surgery is an everyday occurrence in private practice.  While all dental schools provide some education in surgery, most practitioners are left to develop their own skills in practice.  This can lead to unhappy patients and a stressed out dentist!  This course is designed to update the clinician on various everyday issues and questions that can arise during a surgical appointment.

 

Toby Bellamy, DMD grew up in Quesnel, British Columbia. Dr. Bellamy attended the University of British Columbia and gained early entrance into the School of Dentistry in 1994. He obtained his DMD degree in 1998. Dr. Bellamy practiced general dentistry in Coquitlam, BC from 1998 until 2001. An externship in Oral Surgery at the Oregon Health Sciences University in Portland, Oregon sparked a deep interest in the surgical aspect of dentistry and so in 2001 Dr. Bellamy moved to Washington, DC to complete a 4-year residency in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery at the Washington Hospital Center. After receiving his certificate in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery in 2005, Dr. Bellamy joined North Fraser Oral Surgery.
