Dental group acquires Perth practice

- ROBBIE CHALMERS

Members of a cutting edge Perth dental practice are all smiles after the business was bought over by Scotland’s largest dental group.

Dental Care Perth has become the latest acquisitio­n by Clyde Munro Dental Group, a Glasgow-headquarte­red operation, securing its long-term future.

The renowned practice has establishe­d a reputation as a provider of high quality care over the past two decades, and currently resides on

South Methven Street, where it has been since 2017.

Dr Constantin­os (Dino) Loizides is the principal dentist, who along with four other associates and a full team of hygienists, nurses and receptioni­sts, will stay on as part of the deal, ensuring continuity for patients.

Dino said:“I’d come close to selling once before, however the partnershi­p just didn’t feel right.

“Having met the Clyde Munro team, I know that they share the same values and culture that we do.

“I started at the practice in 1999 as an associate and have seen it evolve over the years, with the move into a plush and dedicated new premises in 2017 being a big moment for us.

“This is the next clear chapter in our story.

“It’s no secret that running a practice these days involves a great deal of paperwork and back-office work.

“Partnering with Clyde Munro will free me up to focus almost entirely on my clinical work again.

“I’m also deeply passionate about the digital revolution that dentistry is currently going through.

“I want to make sure the practice is at the forefront of this and we can ensure patients benefit from the scanners and ultra-precise 3D printing developmen­ts.

“Reassuring­ly, this is a passion shared by the Clyde Munro team.”

The practice has around 6000 private and NHS patients and is one of four practices acquired by Clyde Munro earlier in the year, which now counts 46 practices and reaches more than 400,000 patients across Scotland.

The addition of the Perth practice means that Clyde Munro now has premises in all of Scotland’s cities, as well as throughout rural areas, including Orkney, Aberdeensh­ire, the Highlands and the Borders.
