Make refurbishment easy

For over 15 years, Lupus Street Dental Practice operated on a small-is-beautiful basis however, by the early 2000s, practice owner Harish Patel could see that expansion would offer new opportunities and he began to establish plans for growth.

Priti Acharya, the practice's specialist orthodontic associate and assistant manager, explains; 'In late 2009 the GP surgery next door moved to merge with another practice so Harish took the decision to purchase their building, tripling the floor space available.'

To work on this project Harish started to assemble a first class team and following a colleague's recommendation met with Chris Lloyd of Bondent. The meeting left him feeling confident Bondent would help them design and build the new practice he envisaged.

Carefully selecting the rest of the team, Harish chose Aspects Builders led by David Wells and David Broady, Microminder to supply their IT hardware and Wright Cottrell and Dentsply for dental instruments and small equipment. The acrylic, handle-free cabinetry was manufactured by Modwood.
