Newbiggin dental practice taken over by leading UK provider after over 30 years
A dentist’s in Newbiggin is changing hands after 33 years.
Whitecross Dental Care Limited, part of the mydentist group, has acquired two dental practices in the North East from their shared owners, Phil and Kim Brantingham
The practices are now part of the mydentist network under the following names: mydentist Saville Place Newcastle, formerly Saville Dental Practice, and mydentist Gibson Street Newbiggin-by-the-Sea, formerly Newbiggin Dental Practice.
The practices offer key services including NHS dental care, private treatment options, hygiene, and aesthetic services.
All members of the existing teams at both practices will remain in post and current patients at both practices will carry over to mydentist with no disruption to services.
Jon Day, head of mergers and acquisitions at mydentist, commented: “We are delighted to announce the acquisition of these two fantastic practices from Phil and Kim Brantingham.
“This marks the beginning of an exciting chapter, and we are committed to supporting the practices so we can deliver the best possible care to patients in their local communities.”
Kim Brantingham, former owner of the two practices, commented: “We have owned Newbiggin and Saville dental practices since 1993 and in this time, have built up a very special work family, but with an eye to the future we made the decision to sell.
“Mydentist fitted our criteria of maintaining NHS dental services enabling our clinicians and ancillary staff to have access to further training programmes, enabling progression for all involved.
“We have always cared deeply about our patients and the wellbeing of our staff and feel mydentist are the first choice to carry this ethos forward.”
Leanne Dent, practice manager at Newbiggin, added: “I joined Newbiggin Dental Practice as a trainee at the age of 16 in 1994.
“Over the years, I progressed to the role of practice manager, and the practice has been both my workplace and my second family for over 30 years.
“Working alongside Phil, Kim, and our amazing long-standing team has been an absolute pleasure.
“Together, we have built strong relationships with our patients and created a practice that we are all incredibly proud of.
“Now that we have joined the mydentist family, I am excited about the opportunities and possibilities ahead for the whole team.”
