Press release

London, 28 February 2019:  Dentist partnership group, Dentex has secured an additional £10 million of growth equity from its shareholders, led by Universal Partners Limited.

“Dentex now has a network of over 100 dentists looking after thousands of patients and is about to partner with its 50th practice in just over two years, making it one of the fastest growing dental corporates”, explains the company’s chief executive, Barry Lanesman.  “We have created value for all our shareholders within the group and capital providers have been encouraged by the delivery of consistent organic and acquisitive growth which has highlighted the benefits of a new partnership-based dental platform in which all stakeholders are aligned and motivated to build a successful business”.

The additional capital illustrates shareholder confidence in a model that facilitates the delivery of best-in-class care to a growing patient base.
