Meet the Board - Leanne Branton

24 September 2024

Dr Leanne Branton is an experienced general dental practitioner. With over a decade of implant expertise and the prestigious Diploma in Implant Dentistry from the Royal College of Surgeons in London, her passion lies in crafting breathtakingly beautiful results, especially in the aesthetic zone.

Dr Branton is the Regional Rep for Scotland on the Association of Dental Implantology (ADI) Board. She shares an insight into her career, and her experience with the ADI:

“The ADI was the first group I joined when I began my implant career nearly 15 years ago. It has played a significant role in my professional journey, connecting me with many of the mentors who have guided and supported me over the years. Good mentorship is crucial to establishing a successful dental implant career, and the ADI has provided me with access to some of the best minds in the field. My experience with the Association has been incredibly positive, and I’m grateful for the community and connections it has fostered throughout my career.

“One of the things I love most about the ADI is the incredible learning opportunities it offers. The study clubs, in particular, have been a huge source of inspiration for me over the years. They’ve motivated me to explore new areas in the field and have greatly enhanced my knowledge and skills.

“Another highlight is the networking opportunities – ADI events are where you can connect with international implant superstars and learn directly from the best in the industry. And, of course, I can’t forget to mention the social events – they're always great fun and a fantastic way to unwind and connect with peers.”

Dr Branton describes what being an ADI Board member means to her:

“I was thrilled to join the board because many of the mentors I admire have served in this role before me. I've seen first-hand the positive impact they made, not just within the ADI, but in the broader implant community as well. Their dedication and leadership inspired me, and I’m excited to contribute in a similar way.”

She shares her advice for those who provide dental implants, or who are new to the field:

“’You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.’ This quote is especially true in our field. If you want to excel in implant dentistry, reach out to implant dentists who inspire you and surround yourself with positive, knowledgeable mentors. Their influence will not only elevate your skills but also help you navigate the challenges of your career with confidence and support.”
