Newby Dental
Putting patients first and giving everyone a reason to smile.
My wife, dentist Emma Skipper and I had been working in a dental practice for several years when we finally made the decision to move on and go it alone. Our dream was to create our own high-end, modern dental practice near Scarborough.
Finding a building large enough for the six-surgery practice we wanted to build was a challenge, but eventually we found a period detached cottage in the village of Newby. It was a good-sized residential three- to four- bed property with a separate one-bedroom flat above the garage and old stables. Obtaining planning permission to convert the property into a dental practice was not straightforward and took 12 months to complete but once we gained approval we were able to complete on the property and start work straight away.
Rob Balneaves explains how Newby Dental Practice emerged from the shell of an old detached cottage into a state-of-the-art practice in just eight months, and in spite of the first ever national lockdown.
