Takeover at dental practice in Wishaw

- MICHAEL PRINGLE

A dental practice in the heart of Wishaw is entering a new chapter following a takeover by Scotland’s largest group.

The thriving Stewarton Street Dental Practice, which has three surgeries, has been fronted by Karen Tuck since 2014.

She bought over the practice 15 years after joining as an associate.

The practice has now joined the Clyde Munro dental group, adding 6335 patients to its network of practices across the country.

In addition to general dentistry treatments, the Stewarton Street practice also offers cosmetic dentistry and teeth whitening, with this set to continue and expand.

According to its new owners, the dedicated practice team will benefit from being part of a forward thinking and continuall­y growing Scottish-based dental group, while maintainin­g the commitment to high quality, friendly dental care.

Kirsty Dace, Chief Developmen­t Officer with Clyde Munro, said: “It is clear through the hard work and dedication of Karen and her team that the practice has become a key part of the Wishaw community.

“There have been great relationsh­ips built and a loyal patient base developed, so we are committed to ensuring they will continue to receive the same outstandin­g service and benefit from technology and treatment advancemen­ts without having to travel.

“We are proud that Stewarton Street Dental will retain its identity, while enjoying the benefits of being part of a bigger group, an area that differenti­ates us from our competitor­s.”

Stewarton Street Dental Practice is one of four practices acquired by Clyde Munro in recent weeks, taking its patient count to more than 400,000. Now at 46-strong, it is anticipati­ng acquiring its 50th practice in a matter of weeks.

Clyde Munro was founded by Jim Hall in 2015 with the acquisitio­n of seven practices. Since then, it has enjoyed rapid growth through acquisitio­n.

Its ambition is to become Scotland’s “local dentist”, operating an expanding network of family dentists across the country.
