Putting patients first A
t first glance you could be forgiven for mistaking Clyde Dental Practice
(CDP) for a regular high street NHS surgery. However, behind its attrac-
tive and unobtrusive shop front-style exterior lies a cutting-edge practice that manages to combine routine NHS work with a busy referral database. Partners Clive Schmulian
(BDS, DGDP[UK], MGDS, FFGDP[UK], DipConSed, DipImpDent RCS, FDS RCSEd) and Stuart Davidson (BDS, MFDS, RCPS[Glasg]), along with their team of dentists, therapists and nurses, provide the whole range of modern dentistry from regular
NHS check-ups to high-end cosmetic dentistry. Clive started up the clinic in
2004 as a one-surgery practice at 32 Kilbowie Road in Clyde- bank. The following year, he purchased another property a few doors further up the
road at number 44, adding two more surgeries to the practice. In 2007, the oppor- tunity arose to take over the neighbouring property at number 42, enabling them to continue as a three- chair practice and close the
practice’s original premises at number 32. Early last year, the prac-
tice underwent a significant remodelling and refurbish- ment, finding space for a fourth surgery and renewing fixtures and fittings around the building. Overseen by practice manager Caroline Campbell, two new chairs were installed along with new cabinetry, flooring and internal doors. The flooring in the recep-
tion areas and corridors was replaced, and in the surgeries and clinical areas, they installed poly flooring – a type of vinyl flooring that can be moulded around corners and up the skirting boards to allow easier cleaning and greater infection control. One of the main reasons for
