Dr Roy Dixon, BDS MA MGDS RCSI

After completing his dental training in London, Dr Roy Dixon spent 19 years as a dentist in the British Army, with his work taking him into active service overseas. Roy founded Augusta Dental Centre in Leamington Spa and works at The Dental Spa one day each week.

"I am extremely lucky as I enjoy my job. Everyone assumes that looking in peoples' mouths all day must be horrible, but the joy of dentistry is taking patients on a journey to achieve the confident, healthy smile they deserve."

Roy qualified from Guy's Dental Hospital, London, in December 1986. He was awarded an Army Dental Cadetship for the last two years of his dental studies and on graduation was commissioned into the Army. He completed his officer training at RMA Sandhurst and enjoyed a varied and challenging career with postings in the UK and Germany. He completed operational tours in Northern Ireland and Bosnia and, in 2003, as Commanding Officer, he deployed his Field Hospital to the recent Gulf conflict. One of his rewarding experiences was becoming a Vocational Trainer to a newly qualified dentist. Roy continued to develop his professional skills and in 2001 was awarded, by examination, Membership in General Dental Surgery of the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland.

Roy left the Army after 19 years' service and became Clinical Director of a group of practices in Harley Street, London. He continues to work in developing younger dentists as a tutor in the Central London Group. In July 2004 he moved to the Centre for Excellence in Dentistry in Birmingham and has continued to develop his special interest in cosmetic and implant dentistry.
