Dental practice begins ‘next chapter’ after revamp

A North Tyneside dental practice has completed a major refurbishment of its historic home as part of plans for further growth.

Union Quay Dental welcomed clients, local businesses and members of the community to an open evening showcasing its transformed practice on North Shields Fish Quay.

Occupying a Grade II-listed building, the practice has been refurbished to create a modern dental facility while retaining the character and heritage of the property.

Practice owners Jarlath McAteer and Jamie Dury welcomed guests to tour the new-look facilities, meet the wider team and learn more about the services available.

They said they were “blown away” by the support shown by patients, neighbouring businesses and the wider North Shields community.

Jarlath said: “We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better response. 

“To see so many people come through the doors was fantastic and it was particularly special to see such a great mix of our existing clients, local businesses and neighbours, friends, family and people from the wider community.

“We’ve invested heavily in transforming Union Quay Dental, but we wanted to retain the character of the building and make sure it still felt part of the Fish Quay and the wider North Shields community.

“Jamie and I were genuinely blown away by the support on the night. 

“It was a brilliant opportunity to show people what we’ve been working on and, most importantly, to thank everyone who has supported us.”

Investment in the practice forms part of wider growth plans, which include continuing to develop its team, services and patient offering from its Fish Quay base.

Union Quay Dental also aims to strengthen links with neighbouring businesses and organisations while providing dental services to patients from across North Tyneside and further afield.

Its refurbishment supports the practice’s ambition to establish a long-term presence within the Fish Quay community.

Jamie added: “The response from local people and businesses has been incredible. 

“We’re really proud of what we’ve created here and the open evening gave us the chance to share it with the people who are going to be such an important part of Union Quay Dental’s future.

“It was a fantastic evening and a great way to mark the next chapter for the practice.”
