In 1984 Jatinder Sagoo (Sonny) and Jonathan Pimley met as undergraduates at Newcastle University. They quickly became friends and flatmates and began what was to become a successful business partnership, grounded in shared ideals of providing a superlative level of treatment and experience for their dental patients.
This is their story.
After we graduated in 1989 we both worked in other practices, doing a post-graduate year of vocational training. This allowed us to build up our experience and was the start of our commitment to life-long, ongoing learning.
In 1991, having decided Harrogate was a great place to establish our practice, we found Clover House’s existing building on Skipton Road. Although it had been a dental practice since the 1950’s it needed extensive refurbishment.
As young men with new families and not much money, we set about doing most of the work ourselves. With the help of friends, walls were knocked down and plaster rendered as we swapped the dentistry for DIY.
Steadily the Practice took shape and Clover House Dental Practice, Harrogate was open for business on Tuesday 1st September 1992.
When the practice became fully private in 2006, the surgery had another complete makeover to become the bright, airy, attractive and welcoming place it is now. This time we got the builders in!
Since then the team has grown to over twenty members including associate dentists and hygienists, who all share our commitment to health and well-being through excellence in dentistry.
It’s very simple: YOU as the client are paramount to us. Customer Care is not something we just pay lip service to. It is very important to us that we do things well. It’s probably because both of us are perfectionists!
Throughout all the years Clover House has been open, we have constantly striven to incorporate the latest and best technologies and skills. We see it as fundamental in our Duty of Care to all of our clients. All staff regularly attend training courses both in-house and at other post-graduate centres. All are actively encouraged to study for further qualifications.
Sonny and Jonathan both spent time in Florida studying with Peter Dawson, a leading exponent of Complete Dentistry. This has enabled them to develop their holistic approach to dental care.
Clover House became fully computerised around the Millenium, well before many other practices. We continue to be at the leading edge of dental technology, including the use of digital x-rays, imaging equipment and 3D scanners such as the CEREC system.
As ever, we will continue to provide the very best service and treatment for our clients. We will continue to introduce new technologies as and when they are available. Our training programme is ongoing.
We continually look for new ways to improve every aspect of our service.
From the moment you book your first appointment with Clover House you can be assured of an excellent and thorough standard of service.
Our front desk team will make sure that you have all the information you need for your appointment and will welcome you to the Practice on arrival.
At your first appointment you will be welcomed by our highly experienced and friendly Reception Staff. They will note all the details of your medical and dental history. If you have any questions, our reception team will be able to help you.
Then you can have a few minutes to sit back and relax, read a magazine or watch TV before your consultation.
Your first consultation can take up to 40 minutes. During that time, our Clinician will establish exactly what your needs are, whether they are cosmetic or clinical. Any examinations or X Rays that are deemed necessary are also usually done during this first appointment.
You will then be given a full print out of your own Personal Itemised Treatment Plan.
Your appointments are then scheduled to suit you and you also have a further opportunity to discuss any issues about the treatment.
We build long-term relationships with our clients, who usually stay with us for many years, which allows us to personalise on-going care. As a result they have better dental health and also lower risk of other medical conditions such as diabetes and heart disease.
