We are taking on new private patients
23rd February, 2026
We've finally worked our way through the waiting list
As practice owners and dentists with a strong sense of community, it has been somewhat frustrating to have to turn patients away because we couldn't accommodate them in our practice. With Kay and I stepping out of clinics and taking on Yasmin and Elliott, both able to work not only our clinics but substantially more, we have been able to contact everyone on our waiting list and offer them future spaces, and are now able to take on new private patients. Nina will be returning from maternity later in the year, which also helps reduce pressure on our busy lists.
If you know of anyone seeking a dentist, please ask them to give us a call on 0117 990 2215, or point them to our website for more information about our practice, price guide, and hundreds of testimonials if they need convincing :)
Kay and James
Kay and I have now both stepped aside from routine clinical dentistry to concentrate on running the practice and supporting our dentists and staff.
It has been the greatest pleasure to build this practice from nothing in 2017 and develop it into the caring family business we dreamed of creating. We are a team of 19 people performing various roles helping to provide family dentistry for our local community. Last year Kay and I became increasingly aware that we can no longer work at our current pace as dentists with very busy lists and dedicate practically every evening and weekend to running our growing business. Much as we love our patients and dentistry, the time and energy required to maintain both of our roles steadily increased to an unsustainable level. We therefore made the difficult decision to step away from routine appointments and change roles towards managing the practice.
This was a decision that we did not take lightly, but it is the right decision for us and with the timing of Yasmin and Elliott coming onboard, it was the perfect opportunity for us to step back clinically with confidence that our patients are in good hands.
Are you selling the practice?
Let me reassure you that we currently have no plans to sell the practice in the immediate future. This is still our baby (we owe the bank a lot of money for a start!). A reduced personal clinical commitment does not mean a reduced commitment to the practice. We just want more time together and the freedom to manage the practice in hours of our choosing. You will still see us around the practice, and we may step in clinically to assist where needed.
