Dr Nick Cole
Nicholas Cole graduated BDS from the University of Otago in 1981. After 3 years in general practice in New Zealand he went to London and completed a MSc in Periodontology graduating in 1987. Returning to New Zealand he went into a group practice in Takapuna, where he maintained a general practice with a special interest in Periodontology. In 1997, he retired from general practice and went back to the University of Otago to gain an MDS with distinction in Periodontology. Since 2000 he has been in a specialist practice at 5 St Marks Road in Remuera Auckland. He now practices in group practice with two other periodontists, James Dawson & Poppy Horne. Since entering specialist practice in 2000 his clinical practice is limited to surgical aspects of care, 50 / 50 spread between periodontology & implantology. His 15 years in general practice gave him a broad vision of the periodontal and implant surgical / restorative interface. His implant experience spans from 1991 to the present day, initially with a focus on restorative aspects then in 1995 doing his first surgical training.
