Scottish Dental Care Group secures multi-million pound investment from BGF

Glasgow based Scottish Dental Care Group has secured a multi-million pound minority investment from active growth capital investor BGF.

Scottish Dental Care Group has a turnover of £11m and currently operates 15 clinics across the central belt, Dumfries and Galloway, the Highlands and Grampian.

It includes the recently acquired Castle House clinic in Inverness, and the Grandholm and Granite City clinics in Aberdeen.

The multi-million-pound investment will let the dental group implement its growth plans in the coming years through the continued acquisition of high-quality clinics across Scotland.

Alongside the investment, healthcare sector expert James Buckley will join the board as non-executive chair.

Buckley was introduced to the firm through BGF’s talent network and has previously sat on two boards backed by BGF. He has a successful and proven track record as chair and chief executive to a number of healthcare buy and build focused companies.

Founded in 2016 by brothers Philip and Christopher Friel, Scottish Dental Care offers a full range of NHS, private and cosmetic dental treatments, including all aspects of dental implant and reconstructive dentistry, together with short term orthodontics and facial aesthetic treatments across its clinics.

Philip Friel, director of dentistry at Scottish Dental Care, said: “We are delighted to have secured the support of BGF and look forward to working closely with the team as we further grow our presence in the Scottish dental market.”

Christopher Friel, managing director at Scottish Dental Care, added: "We will now embark on new ventures to acquire clinics and teams of talented staff in communities right across Scotland.”
