Colin is originally from a small town 25 miles west of Glasgow. He pursued his dental studies at Glasgow Dental Hospital and School, graduating with a Bachelor of Dental Surgery with commendation in 1994. After graduation, he spent a year at the same institution as a house officer, gaining experience in oral medicine, periodontology (gum disease), and oral surgery.

During this time, Colin passed the first exams for his Fellowship of Dental Surgery at the Royal College of Surgeons. He completed his fellowship exams in 1997, becoming a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh. After his tenure at Glasgow Dental Hospital and School, Colin moved to the Queen's Medical Centre in Nottingham, working in head and neck surgery, including cancer and trauma. He then took a similar position at Derbyshire Royal Infirmary, completing these roles in 1997.

Following his qualifications, Colin continued at Derbyshire Royal Infirmary, providing general anaesthetic oral surgery services. In 1997, he joined a practice in Ilkeston, where he worked with a husband-and-wife team for nearly 11 years, dividing his time between their two practices in Ilkeston and Nottingham. During this period, Colin secured the first minor oral surgery contract in the NHS in Britain. He established a successful oral surgery and dental implant service, marking the beginning of his teaching career.

Colin dedicated 21 years to the NHS, working in Ilkeston and Nottingham before opening his own practice in Alfreton, where he offered oral surgery, orthodontics, and dental implants under a minor oral surgery contract. In 2014, he founded The Campbell Clinic in Nottingham, a specialist dental practice known for its exceptional dentistry and educational services.

Over the years, Colin has placed over 6,000 dental implants, performed more than 10,000 surgical extractions, including 3,000 lower wisdom teeth procedures, and delivered over 2,000 lectures. In 2015, he formalised his educational offerings by establishing The Campbell Academy in Nottingham. The Academy gained national and international recognition for its online and face-to-face education, which led to the expansion of The Campbell Clinic and The Campbell Academy to new premises in Edwalton, designed in 2018, constructed in 2019, and opened in early 2020.

Colin and his team have published over 20 peer-reviewed articles related to their work in scientific journals. He has accepted invitations to speak in South Africa, China, Singapore, Switzerland, and France. For a decade, Colin has also been involved in medico-legal work, including regulatory cases, civil disputes, and criminal cases, even assisting in prosecuting fraudulent dentists. Recently, he took on an international education role as the Editor-in-Chief for the ITI Academy, which provides online dental implant education to dentists in over 100 countries.

In addition to his professional achievements, Colin has coached football for over a decade with the West Bridgford Colts, including his son's team. He has also served as a governor for CPA Riverside Alternative Provision School and as a member of the East Midlands Education Trust, contributing to the governance of a large educational trust.

Colin has been married to Alison for over 25 years, and together they have three children: Grace, Rosie, and Callum. A former triathlete and keen cyclist, Colin also enjoys going to the cinema, although his knee injury has reduced some of his athletic pursuits.

After qualifying as a hygienist in Edinburgh in 1994, Karen moved to Nottingham, where she worked in various dental practices before taking a five-year career break after the birth of her son.

Since returning to dentistry, Karen has attended various courses to enhance her in-surgery skills. She is a dedicated hygienist keen to equip her patients with the knowledge she has gained to improve their smiles and, ultimately, their general health and well-being. 

Karen has a special interest in implant surgery and maintenance. As maintenance is pivotal to the success of dental implants, Karen has developed and implemented a maintenance programme within the practice to ensure all our implant patients are continually cared for to our high standards. Karen's dedication to the maintenance of dental implants led her peers to elect her to the Committee for The Association of Dental Implantology (ADI), a UK-based organisation supporting dentists and patients, from 2014 to 2016. She organised a highly successful National Congress for the Dental Team, including dental nurses, receptionists, managers, and her Hygienist and Therapist peers. During her role on the ADI committee, Karen travelled the country to lecture dentists on dental implant treatment and maintenance.

Karen has also lectured at the Congress for the International Team for Implantology to promote and emphasise the need for continuing maintenance of dental implants among her peers. As a Key Opinion Leader for Dentsply Sirona, Karen has run courses and delivered lectures to Dentists, Hygienists, and Therapists across the country. Karen recently won a research prize and published a paper on the importance of maintaining good oral hygiene in patients to support and maintain dental implants.

Karen supports the worldwide dental charity Dentaid. In 2008, Karen travelled to Uganda with Christian Relief Uganda in conjunction with Dentaid, where she worked in remote villages, providing emergency dental care to a team of dental professionals. Part of the programme was to promote Dental Health Education linked to primary Health Education in rural schools. She and the team also helped to formulate a now-published book on Infant Oral Mutilation (IOM), a subject at the heart of Dentaid's Educational Development Programme in many African communities.

Karen is a member of the professional bodies of the British Society of Dental Hygiene & Therapy, the British Society of Periodontology, the Association of Dental Implantology, and the International Team for Implantology.

Kathryn, Dentist

"I really found this course fantastic. The content is fantastic, and the teachers/tutors explain everything really well. Using Slack allowed us to interact with other individuals on the course despite not being in the same room. I love that it is accessible online - it really helped me to balance professional and home life, which is very hard with kids. It's great that the course content is available for a few more weeks, as this allows me to go back and review it. Overall, I am very happy with what you have provided - a great investment. I'm glad I chose The Campbell Academy for this course."

Craig, Dentist

It has been really helpful to learn from the LMS [the system the course is delivered on] and from other students. I completed an online course with the academy. The course was incredibly well run, with detailed lectures and practical projects. The online learning platform worked perfectly, and I could complete the course on my own schedule. The course tutors were very engaged and easy to contact.

Your Questions Answered

What is the Online Implant Restorative Course, and who is it designed for?

The Online Implant Restorative Course is a six-week online program designed for dentists who want to learn how to restore straightforward dental implants. The course covers implant treatment planning, impression techniques, abutment and crown selection, occlusion, and marketing strategies. It includes practical exercises on models, peer discussions, and access to coaching from an experienced faculty. The flexible course allows participants to complete it alongside their regular work and domestic commitments.

How is the course content delivered?

We will deliver the course through two platforms. First, our Learning Management System will store prerecorded lecture content, which will be released weekly. Second, a dedicated course Slack channel will allow you to communicate with your peers and receive coaching support throughout the six weeks. Also, each module will have an Academy faculty member assigned as the coach, who can answer any questions about the module.
 
Two live sessions will be held during the course, scheduled for the first and final Monday of the program. The sessions will begin at 7 p.m. and last a maximum of one hour. They will be recorded for later access if you can't attend the live sessions.

Does the course involve practicals and will I need a patient?

We will conduct the course's practical sessions on implant models rather than actual patients. To facilitate this, we will ensure that you have the necessary equipment during the first week of the program. If you want to learn more about the equipment you will use, please look at the video above by scrolling up.

How much time should I set aside per week for the course?

You must set aside approximately 3 to 4 hours per week for the course. The lectures and practicals are designed to be flexible, allowing you to watch them at your own convenience. You do not need to book any time away from work to complete this course.

What if I am away/on holiday for one of the weeks?

We have intentionally designed the course to offer maximum flexibility. If you happen to be away for one of the weeks or fall behind slightly, it's not a problem. You will have the opportunity to catch up, and we will provide you with access to the Learning Management System for six weeks after the program's final day.

How much does the course cost?

The course costs £1,450, including VAT. 

Before the course starts, we also require a £500 deposit for the equipment we send you. This £500 will be returned after the course when we receive the equipment back from you. Please note that we require prompt return of the equipment. If a delegate significantly delays returning the equipment, we may void the return of the course deposit

Are there any live sessions?

There are two live Zoom sessions, each lasting 30 to 45 minutes. They occur on the first Monday of week one and the final Monday of week 2. If you can not attend live, they will be recorded for you to watch at a suitable time.

How do I apply for the Online Implant Restorative Course?

To apply for the course, interested individuals can register directly through our website, or you can call to talk to us over the phone.
