The story so far

We catch up with Melissa and Andrew Taylor, owners of the fantastic Wadebridge Dental Practice.

It isn’t often that a couple study and qualify as dentists together and go on to marry, before undertaking the transformation of a huge practice, but that’s exactly what the owners at Wadebridge Dental have done! Now owning one of the largest independent dental practices in the south west, with state-of-the-art facilities providing ever-increasing treatment options to patients, Melissa and Andrew Taylor tell us:

“What an extremely busy 18 months it has been! We have learnt lots in this past 18 months; it’s been one of the most hectic and stressful periods of our 15 years together, but it’s also been incredibly rewarding.”

When they first took on the business, Melissa explains: “We may have underestimated the amount of work it would take to convert, upgrade and then run our practice, but we got there in the end! Andrew has been extremely busy completing his implant training, sedation training and starting his Masters degree in Restorative Dentistry, all while managing two trainee dentists for part of the year. But, we are still talking and feel extremely lucky to have one another and to be best friends, despite so much hard work and stress!”

Understandably, Melissa and Andrew are incredibly proud of what they have achieved, but they couldn’t have done it without a fantastic team behind them. Andrew continues: “Without them, none of this would have been possible. From our star Practice Manager Sarah, who supports us endlessly, and our long-suffering and lovely Reception Manager, Gill, to our fabulous Head Nurse, Becky and our newest member Kim; to all of our 30 plus team members, we are extremely grateful for how each and every one of them has helped make it all possible.”

Winners of ‘Best Practice South West’ at the Dentistry Awards 2018 and finalists in the upcoming Private Dentistry Awards 2018 for ‘Most Improved Practice’ and ‘Practice of the Year’, these are exciting times indeed for Melissa, Andrew and the team. Melissa finishes: “Fingers crossed for the Private Dentistry Awards!”
