Silver celebrations for Stafford Street
Silver anniversary. Husband-and-wife team mark 25 years
A husband-and-wife team from Edinburgh have marked 25 years in business with a celebra- tion at their west end practice. Yann and Gilly Maidment took over the dental prac- tice in Chester Street in ı987 and moved to their current premises on Stafford Street in 2006. To celebrate their silver anniversary, patients, staff and referring dentists were invited to a celebration at the practice. Guests were met by pipers from Fettes College who were invited to the event along with
some of their musical class- mates including a harpist and a violinist, some of whom are patients at the practice.
Yann qualified from Edin- burgh in ı984, the year after Gilly, and after 25 years in practice together, the they are still enjoying the experience as much as ever. Yann said: “It really is exciting – 25 years is a long time to be in practice in one place. But it just seems to have gone by incredibly quickly!”
Gilly added: “We haven’t lost any of our enthusiasm. We are still keeping up to date and aiming to give our patients the best service we possibly can.” Gilly explained that they
have worked hard to retain their patient base over the years, from babies who have grown up in their care to their eldest patient, who, at 99, still has all his own teeth.
Both Yann and Gilly believe their commitment to preven- tion and their willingness to embrace new technology and products has helped them build up their practice from a small two-surgery NHS prac- tice in ı987 to the modern four-surgery private practice it is today.
Gilly said: “We don’t just provide crowns and fillings but aim to keep our patients healthy. That has always been the most important thing.”
