Build the practice you’ve always dreamed of

Clyde Munro is delighted to announce that Novadent Family Dental Care is set to open in 2025. The new dental practice, situated in Fife, just outside of Edinburgh, presents a once in a lifetime opportunity for associates and practice managers who are looking to own their own practice one day.

 Founder and CEO of Clyde Munro, Jim Hall, discusses the state-of-the-art practice, the opportunity it presents for dental professionals, and the impact it will have on the local community:

Historically, Fife has been a challenge for dental providers, with difficulty recruiting new dentists in the area. It is not clear why this is, I live in Fife and I think it’s a great place to be and to bring up a family. However, there’s no doubt that we have a problem with providing oral health care for patients in Fife. Families are distressed about not being able to see a dentist, and I am determined to make a difference. My aim is to attract the right dentist to Fife and reinvent the way we provide care. We have an excellent facility in the area, and it’s a family-centric practice we can invest in for the future.

We are the leading group in Europe in terms of applying digital technology, and we have ensured that Novadent is equipped with the very latest digital equipment for the benefit of patients and dentists. On top of this, our dentists gain access to all that Clyde Munro has to offer including our team, and training centre. With this level of investment, we aim to attract a really good team of service providers.

 The opportunity of a lifetime

Novadent Family Dental Care is a newly renovated practice, with the best possible technology available, including the latest digital equipment.

Clyde Munro is looking for associate dentists and practice managers who are motivated to take on and grow the practice, with the support of the team, to create something that we hope will make a big difference in Fife.

The ideal dentist(s) would be entrepreneurial, as they will be encouraged to act as the leader of the business. In order to make this happen, we have introduced a new scheme called the Principal Ownership Plan (POP). This would be made available to successful candidates and would mean that they receive a percentage ownership of the practice, without the requirement of financial investment. When we come to the end of a three-year period, the business leader(s) would receive a percentage of the increase in value of the business.

POP is a unique opportunity for someone who is thinking about becoming a practice owner in the future. It enables them to begin providing family dental care in an environment where they have great support and investment and where they can focus on patient care whilst getting the right HR support, technology, training, and development.

The Novadent vision

In order to create a centralised oral health hub, Novadent Family Dental Care has an in-house dental lab, with the latest digital technology available to produce high-quality dental products such as dental bridges and crowns. This means that, rather than sending out for work from labs across the UK, we can provide a unique service from a digital lab within the Novadent practice itself. We have already invested in the equipment and technology, including items like 3D printers, and we have trialled a similar project in Edinburgh.

This provides a unique opportunity to support the production of mouthguards for rugby players across Scotland. This capability will be located in Novadent, and the right team will have the chance to support other local sports teams and protect children’s and adult’s teeth.

Additionally, there’s a great programme in Scotland called Childsmile, through which we provide education and support to families as well as access to a dentist. This will be a key part of this project. There will be an education suite at Novadent for families to make sure that children have the best possible oral health.

Given our scale, Clyde Munro can provide unmatched support and enable the right team to develop and grow into whichever area they’d like. I’m looking forward to working with a new team on this really unique project. I see Novadent growing rapidly. With space for four to five dentists and a digital lab on site, this is a great opportunity to create a highly efficient workflow and to shape the future of lab work. Plus, we have been investing in the latest scanners, and digital planning capabilities to ensure that a fully integrated digital workflow is available from day one – with the training to back it up.

I also see dental therapists playing a key role at Novadent, enabling us to build a good team with some urgency. This practice is an absolute requirement, enabling families in Fife to see a dentist. I envision it being able to look after 10,000-15,000 patients. This is achievable and, with a focus on family care, we can make a significant contribution to solving some of the challenges in the area. I’m confident that we can do this.

Take the next step in your career

I know that there are a lot of excellent young and entrepreneurial dentists already in Scotland, many of whom are frustrated with access to investment. Clyde Munro is offering the chance to do things differently.

I want to make it clear that this is an opportunity that is becoming available now, and that we can make this happen very quickly for the right candidate(s). We’ve done all the preparation and would love to get input from the new team as we develop our plans.
