Ahmad Nounu - The Black Swan E147

In this week’s episode of Dentology, Chris and Andy chat to Ahmad Nounu, principal of the Black Swan Dental Spa and Bristol Dental Suite.

Ahmad chats about his early career days, the reasons why he decided to pursue a career in dentistry and buying his first dental practice back in 2011, just 3 years after qualifying!  He talks about how he has fully embraced digital technology in the practice, the influences that affected his decisions to adopt this approach and the impact it has had on efficiency.

He goes on to talk about his decision to take over a failing corporate practice during the Covid lockdown period back in 2020 and what he has done differently to ensure that practice is now thriving.
