Dentex is the option for those who want to work with a corporate, not for one:

Our difference

Private dentistry is booming, but an increasing regulatory environment makes growth complex and is taking time away from dentists who wish to focus on clinical dentistry.

Traditionally, dental corporate models have been focused on acquiring dental practices and managing their expenses. Dentex is different – our focus is creating a partnership of dentists who can work together and learn from each other, free to control and develop the clinical aspects of their own practice.

Our dentists retain equity as shareholders in Dentex, so have a mutual interest to see the group grow and thrive.

We’re not looking for people who want to get out of dentistry. We want people who see their future in dentistry, are engaged and wish to evolve their role as part of a broader partnership. By Dentex taking away the administrative burden, our dentists continue to involve themselves in the parts of the practice they enjoy.

Become a part of our story and we will help write yours.

Good for you

Good for you

Whether it’s expanding your portfolio of practices, relinquishing the burden of day-to-day management, developing skills or spending more time with patients; we tailor our involvement so our dentists can focus on the parts of dentistry they enjoy while we support them in those they don’t. Dentex is a true partnership in which we focus on your independence but share in the clinical, financial and operational demands to the benefit of the whole group.

Good for your team

Good for your team

When not on the phone, front desk staff are greeting and screening patients, managing diaries, logging lab work, taking payments, filling insurance forms, dispensing medication, scanning, organising the post, ordering sundries, making courtesy calls, completing reports about KPI’s, outstanding balances, membership joiners and leavers, and sometimes managing social media channels! Phew! Jodie Mycroft, receptionist at ...

Looking back now at when we first went into lockdown, it was such an anxious and uncertain time for our practices and their teams.
