00:00 Mr. Wozniak, hello sir! Here at Schiffnall Dental Care, that's right isn't it?
00:05 That's correct, yes.
00:06 Cool, so you're not a stranger to the town, you're a principal dentist here, this is your baby.
00:10 You've been practicing in the town for some years, is that correct?
00:13 Yes, since 2008.
00:15 Got you. And you've moved because of what? What was the reason for moving to this new premises here?
00:21 Our practice became very popular, we had more and more patients,
00:25 and we found out that we struggled to find the spaces for the new patients.
00:30 So there was no way for us to extend the building, so the only option was to relocate it to the new place.
00:37 And we were looking for a new place for several years,
00:41 and finally the opportunity arise to renovate this place and old pub,
00:49 and make a state-of-the-art dental practice out of it.
00:53 You must be very pleased with how it's turned out, it looks fantastic.
00:57 Very pleased with the results, we are very proud and happy with this new...
01:03 And it used to be a pub, the Oddfellows, so people there who know that pub will know where you are.
01:09 Good central location.
01:11 So does that mean, if you've expanded the building, have you taken on or planning to take on more dentists as well?
01:18 Yes, we're planning to take on new patients and new dentists.
01:22 Starting with one extra surgery, and we've got scope to open another two.
01:28 Yeah, and I mean the size of the rooms, it's the...
01:32 They're huge rooms, aren't they?
01:34 And fantastic for people who are in here for a couple of hours having a treatment,
01:38 or possibly need a distraction because they get a bit nervous.
01:40 We've got the... right above, look at that.
01:45 Fantastic, a huge TV there, got the news paused on there, but...
01:50 I guess that's just to help the patients feel relaxed and make the experience better overall, is that the thinking behind that?
01:57 Oh yes, many patients, especially on the long appointments, when we're doing root canal treatments,
02:03 for over an hour, or implant treatments, they are getting a bit tired and they're looking for some distraction.
02:10 And having something to watch, it's an excellent opportunity for them to relax.
02:15 Great stuff. Well, thank you and wish you all the success here in your new premises.
02:19 - Thank you. - Thank you very much.
