Scottish Dental Care has acquired two dental practices in Edinburgh,
The family-owned business bought the St John's Road and East Craigs dental practices from Dr Hew Mathewson and his family, who had established them over a 45-year period.
These latest acquisitions complement the 15 dental practices that Scottish Dental Care already operates, and follow a multi-million pound minority investment from BGF in February.
Scottish Dental Care was founded in 2016 by brothers Philip and Christopher Friel.
Managing director Christopher said: “Acquiring these practices represents a continuation of our growth plans, with the extension of our Advanced Dentistry brand into Edinburgh.
“BGF’s investment earlier this year helped enable these acquisitions and we look forward to future growth. We have benefitted immensely from the team’s input and strategic expertise.”
Mathewson, founder of St. Johns Road and East Craigs Dental Practices, said: “Scottish Dental Care and its family ownership through Christopher and Phil represent the best of both the dental industry and family businesses in Scotland.”
Chris Nixon, investor at BGF, added: “We are delighted that our investment has helped Scottish Dental Care to gain a strategic foothold in Scotland’s capital through the acquisition of two high quality clinics.”
