Growing demand for orthodontist treatments has prompted the acquisition of a Lisburn practise.
Lisburn Orthodontics, along with its trading premises, was bought by orthodontist Emma McCrory with the help of funding of £350,000 from Ulster Bank.
She said demand has been boosted by the growing use of social media and as Zoom culture drives demand for orthodontic treatments amongst adults, Emma explains.
“We’re seeing a lot more adults seeking these types of treatments, which I believe is driven by the influences of social media and remote working,” Emma said. “Video conferencing has become the norm and many of us are now much more conscious of our smile.”
Lisburn Orthodontics was established 30 years ago and offers orthodontic treatments, including removable, fixed and aesthetic appliances and retainers.
It specialises in clinical treatments for children and young adults.
“The business has operated now for three decades and we want to continue its legacy while building upon its reach,” Emma said. “As well as opening our books for self-referrals we are also planning to introduce a wider range of clinical treatment options.”
Paul Reid, business development manager at Ulster Bank, welcomed the investment.
“Emma brings a wealth of experience from her time working with both NHS and private patients. Her vision for the business is one that continues to deliver for existing patients while implementing a fresh approach to patient care, ensuring a first-class clinical experience that will underpin the future success and growth of the practice.”
In addition to the funding facility, Lisburn Orthodontics is also implementing Tyl, a merchant acquiring and payments solution developed by the bank to enable customers to take card payments anytime and anywhere.
