MEET THE TEAM 

Dr Malc Newsome BDS  

 
My name is Dr Malc Newsome, I qualified from the University of Bristol in 1998. After completing an Oral and Maxillo-Facial post early in my career I’ve spent my time in general practice, for the past 20 years as the Clinical Director of The Ivy Dental Practice. 
 
My passion for innovation in dentistry led me to pursue advanced training in implant dentistry, beginning in 2008. I have also been a member of the Association of Dental Implantology since then. Today we use the Dentsply PrimeTaper implant system exclusively as I firmly believe that every patient deserves the gold standard in dental treatments. 
 
Whether you're a current patient or seeking treatment through a referral, we are here to help you regain your smile's confidence. If you're dealing with missing teeth and your dentist is unable to place implants, don't hesitate to get in touch – we're dedicated to finding solutions for your unique needs. 
 
In addition to my expertise in implant dentistry, I've also completed extensive training in Botulinum Toxin and Dermal Filler treatments over the past 15 years. Our practice is here to help you maintain a youthful appearance. 
 
Despite my focus on more specialised treatments, I still maintain a deep appreciation for general dentistry. Caring for all our patients at The Ivy Dental Practice is a source of pleasure, we are here to address your dental needs comprehensively. 
Prevention of dental disease, your general and dental health are our top priorities. Join us at The Ivy Dental Practice, where experience, innovation, and a genuine commitment to your well-being meet. 
Schedule your appointment today and let us transform your smile.
