Presenter Information: Dr. Douglas Ness
Presenter Bio
 |
Dr. Ness, a native of southern California, received his DDS from Loma Linda University. He then completed a general practice residency sponsored by both Emory University and the VA Medical Center in Atlanta, GA, where he developed an early passion for all areas of dentistry, and the awareness that the general dentist needs to have a very broad knowledge base and skillset to be able to best serve our population. From that starting point, he became a voracious consumer of dental continuing education, completing over 100 hours per year throughout his 30-plus year career. As a result of his dedication to continued learning, he had been awarded Mastership in the Academy of General Dentistry, and Diplomate status in both the American Board of General Dentistry and the American Board of Oral Implantology/Implant Dentistry.
Dentistry as a career has literally taken Dr. Ness across the world. He has had the opportunity to practice and lecture on clinical dentistry, both internationally and domestically. He initially practiced comprehensive general dentistry for over twenty years in Alaska. He then moved to Shanghai, China, where he practiced prosthodontics, implant dentistry and orthodontics in several cities in mainland China. He currently heads a multi-specialty group practice in the San Diego, California area, where a substantial portion of the clinic demand is endodontic services. He loves to learn, as well as share what systems he has found works to provide patient care comfortably, effectively, and efficiently during his long career (which has literally ‘flown by’).
