Change of plans

In 1997 Peak Implant Clinic in Matlock, Derbyshire, was founded by Nigel Rosenbaum, a specialist in prosthodontics and teacher in implant dentistry. The success and consequent growth of the business meant that 10 years later the practice had outgrown its premises. Nigel wanted to expand the range of services he could offer and improve access for patients. He explains. “The Matlock practice is spread across two floors which meant patients needed to go upstairs for X-rays and hygiene visits. Many of our implant patients are elderly and we felt it was better for us to have a building with ground floor surgeries and imaging. We also wanted to create an outstanding teaching facility that would allow the clinical team to be able to pass on their skills and experience.”

A dormer bungalow was purchased in February 2008 with the vision of creating a state of the art dental facility. Located on the outskirts of Sheffield, the building was within a reasonable drive for patients from across Yorkshire and the Midlands. The building is located at 180 Baslow Road, Sheffield, hence the new practice name of one80dental.
