Dentistry at Bryer Wallace with Rob Wallace
My name's Rob Wallace, I am former partner and general dentist of Briar Wallace.
The practice started off as general dentists but it became obvious very early on that we needed specialists.
So we were one of the first practices in London to build up a multidisciplinary practice with specialist clinicians who would cover every aspect of dentistry.
So patients coming here could immediately cherry-pick the best clinician for the treatment they needed, whether it was periodontal treatment, endodontic treatment, or orthodontics.
And we gradually accumulated specialists in all these fields in order to make sure it was genuinely a one-stop shop for every patient, and we could supply specialist clinicians to deal with every aspect of dentistry.
We are very lucky in this practice in Stone Street.
We do get a fabulous range of patients who are charming, fun, interesting, engaged with the dentistry that we provide—and they're a joy to treat.
I have been here for such a long time now, nearly 40 years, that I have seen children who have grown up.
I've now seen their children and, even more scarily, I see the grandchildren of the original patients—which is fabulous. You can see all the family and know the history of them, and that is an absolute pleasure.
It does give me as a clinician a lot of satisfaction to change someone's perception of dentistry, to give them a fabulous smile, to give them comfortable teeth that they can properly eat with, which looks good, is healthy, has longevity—and I look back at patients who come in now and I say to them that we did this work 25–30 years ago and it's still going strong.
