This unique position has allowed Dr Nicholas Wood to engage with a broad range of patients and develop a wealth of experience over the last decade.

Dr Nicholas Wood holds a Bachelor of Dental Surgery degree from the University of Adelaide, and his dedication to excellence has led him to pursue a Masters of Clinical Dentistry in fixed and removable prosthodontics at the prestigious King's College London. His research focuses on All-on-4^® implant rehabilitation, meaning Dr Nicholas Wood is able to apply a gold standard of knowledge to his approach as one of Adelaide’s leading All-on-4^® surgeons.

Throughout his career, Dr Nicholas Wood has undertaken additional training both in Australia and overseas, including mentorship in the Malo approach by Dr Larry Benge, Dr Tony Rotondo and Dr Paulo Malo.

In his free time, Dr Nicholas Wood enjoys cycling, skiing, playing guitar, and horse riding with his partner Prue and daughter Phoebe.

Dr Evan Jones' passion for helping rebuild his patients' smiles with dental implants fuelled his excitement for utilising the revolutionary All-on-4^® procedure.

Following graduation with a Bachelor of Dental Surgery from the University of Adelaide, he began a career in both metropolitan and rural clinics - quickly developing his oral surgery skills. Dr Evan Jones routinely undertakes implant placement, wisdom tooth removal and difficult dental extractions.

Having then received training and mentoring from Next Smile Australia partners Drs Larry Benge and Tony Rotondo as well as Dr Paulo Malo, Dr Evan Jones has fast become one of Adelaide's leading All-on-4^® surgeons, and he loves how he has been able to help so many patients through their All-on-4^® treatment journey.

He is a member and South Australian president of the Australia Endodontic Society, a member of the ADA, and a member of the Australian Osseointegration Society.

Dr Ian Bills graduated from the University of Adelaide with a BDS and began practising general dentistry in 1977. He was motivated to seek more knowledge and was awarded a Fellowship to the Royal Australasian College of Dental Surgeons in 1980.

Dr Ian Bills became interested in dental implants after attending a lecture by Dr Patrick Henry in 1985 and underwent training in the prosthetic and surgical aspects of the Branemark system, Professor Branemark being the inventor of traditional dental implants. Dr Ian Bills was involved in research and education as a Visiting Staff Member at the Branemark Centre in Perth until Dr Henry's retirement.

Dr Ian Bills has lectured and presented live dental implant procedures at Nobel Biocare events globally and here at home.

2003 saw several milestones as Ian became involved in the introduction of Guided Surgery to Australia, the same year he performed his first All-on-4^® procedure. He underwent further training in the All-on-4^® technique at the Malo Clinic in Portugal and continues to work on the technique to achieve exceptional success rates.

Over 46 years of dentistry, Ian has seen the benefits that All-on-4^® has provided his patients and is proud to offer the service at Next Smile Australia Adelaide, with a commitment to ongoing care through a meticulous maintenance and hygiene program.

Coming from a family of successful and highly regarded dentists, Dr Edward Pitts had been warmly encouraged to pave a passionate and academic future of his own in the dental industry from a young age. After graduating from the University of Adelaide in 2012, Dr Edward Pitts spent 10 years at a Hyde Park clinic, where he developed further interest in implant dentistry.

He has attended implant courses both internationally and here in Australia and has been trained in the Malo protocol by Next Smile partners Dr Larry Benge, Dr Tony Rotondo and Dr Paulo Malo himself. Dr Edward Pitts has placed over 400 implants to date.

Dr Edward Pitts prides himself on listening to and understanding the core frustrations and goals of his patients. Every treatment plan is meticulously devised, and Dr Edward Pitts is thrilled to recommend All-on-4^® treatments as a potential solution for his patients.
