ith more than 20 years’ experience as a dental technician working in labs in west and central Scotland, Paul
McFall has decided to strike out on his own. Paul started as an apprentice at DP Nova
in Glasgow in ı99ı, qualifying in ı996. He was taken on full-time by the company, who were initially based in West Princes Street and then later on at a purpose-built centre in Seaward Street, in the crown and bridge department. He was with DP Nova for ı7 years,
moving up to manage the gold depart- ment before leaving in 2008. From there, he joined Lincoln Ceramics in Lanarkshire and he said it was this move that proved to be a major catalyst for his career. He said: “This was a great move for me as they essentially retrained me and sharpened my skills. It was there that I first worked under magnification and it has been a revelation.” After two years in Lanarkshire he moved to HDL Dental Laboratory in Falkirk for ı8
months before finding the perfect prem- ises to start his own dental laboratory. In January this year, he came across a building in Baillieston that had formerly housed a computer repair workshop and, once the formalities were completed, he started converting it into a high-end dental labora- tory. In just seven weeks, Paul and his team sourced the workbenches, equipment and machines they needed to begin work and they opened for business as Impulse Dental Laboratory at the end of February. Paul has recruited two highly-skilled and
experienced technicians to join his team: Stephen Heath, former head ceramist and manager at Diamond Ceramics, Adair Dental and Pearl White Dental Laboratory; and Brian McDonald, who spent ı0 years at Lincoln Ceramics before joining Opal Dental Lab and then Impulse. Together, they offer the full range of NHS
and private crown and bridge work as well as being specialists in
e.max all-ceramic crowns, an area that they have seen a big uptake since opening their doors.
As well as a daily pick up and delivery
service across central Scotland they provide an eight-day turnaround for private work and a five-day turnaround for NHS work. All their restorations are subject to multiple checks and inspections before dispatch and they guarantee all private work for three years and all zirconia restorations for five years.
