Dr Arun Thomas with RNS partner Robert SmithPatients needing dentists in Scunthorpe have a new 'root' to quality oral care after a Gainsborough practice expanded into new premises – with support from RNS.
Blyton Dental has opened a second practice at Duchess House on the Queensway Court Business Park near Morrison's.
More than 7,000 patients have registered with the practice on High Street Blyton ,near Gainsborough since it was opened six years ago by Dr Arun Thomas and his wife Dr Sharon Jacob.
The new practice in Scunthorpe has met with a similar demand.
“We have had an amazing response from the local community, nearly 500 patients pre-registered before we opened earlier this month,” Arun said.
“It is nice to be busy and know what we offer is going to be popular in Scunthorpe too.
“We wanted to create an alternative to NHS dentistry that was not too expensive.”
Partner at RNS Chartered Accountants Robert Smith congratulated Arun and his team on their success.
“We have supported the business since it started out and seen its impressive growth,” said Robert.
“Arun and his excellent team keep their focus on looking after their patients and providing them with the best possible care.
The practice 's expansion into Scunthorpe is a testimony to their success.
“We wish them well for the future.”
Arun explained the Blyton practice has three surgery rooms and could not be expanded to meet the growing demands.
“These are much larger premises in Scunthorpe over two floors. We have opened downstairs with four surgery rooms and have the opportunity to expand upstairs.
“We have seven dentists and three hygienists, supported by a team of excellent dental nurses and a practice manager.
“We have one phone number and the IT systems are integrated so patients can choose the location between Blyton and Scunthorpe that is most convenient.
“For £9.99 a month somebody can maintain good oral health, with two visits to a hygienist and one check up from a dentist annually.
We are committed to making high quality dental care affordable for most people.
“We are also passionate about caring for those people who have had a bad experience with dentists in the past. We want to restore their faith in Dentistry.
“Our team is highly experienced in treating nervous patients who are staying away from dentists due to bad experiences in the past.The team works really hard,caring for patients and making them feel at ease.
The team uses the latest technology, with CT scanners at both practices for dental implant treatments and 3D digital scanners enabling impressions to be made digitally rather than using the traditional 'putty' method.
“It is just so much easier for the patient and much more accurate. The technology is amazing.”
He thanked Robert and the team at RNS.
“I remember meeting him for the first time. He gave us the proper guidance and Rob and his team have been a great support ever since,” Arun said.
“They set the limited company up quickly and look after payroll and issues such as tax. They allow us to focus on our patients.
“We have an amazing relationship with the whole team at RNS and can't thank them enough.”
