Specialist business property adviser, Christie & Co, has announced the sale of 3 Step Smiles in Liverpool.
3 Step Smiles is a high-end implant dental clinic that specialises in full-mouth rehabilitation and complex dental cases. It is part of a small group in the UK, with the other practice in Glasgow, and additional sites in Spain.
The practice has been run by Dr Tula and Blanca Crooke since 2022 and was brought to market as they wanted to focus on their Spanish clinics.
Following a confidential sales process with Cathy Murphy at Christie & Co, the Liverpool clinic has been purchased by YDS Group, which is owned and run by twin dentists, Dr Hussein and Dr Hassan Dalghous. Their group now comprises seven practices, including celebrity-endorsed, Yorkshire Dental Suite in Leeds, and practices in York, Hull, Wakefield, Guiseley, Chelsea (London), and Liverpool. It plans to open the doors to its Birmingham practice in September and its Manchester practice in October.
Tula Crooke, former co-owner of 3 Step Smiles, comments, “Blanca and I are very proud of what we built in Liverpool, and it has been a privilege to serve patients in such a vibrant city. We are confident that Dr Hussein and Dr Hassan, together with their team, will continue to deliver the highest standards of dentistry and patient care. This sale allows us to focus on the growth of our clinics in Spain, knowing that 3 Step Smiles Liverpool is in excellent hands.”
Dr Hussein and Dr Hassan Dalghous, new owners of 3 Step Smiles in Liverpool, comment, “The opening of our newest clinic in Liverpool is not only a momentous occasion for Yorkshire Dental Suite, but also for us as business owners. It is our first venture into this incredible city, and we are thrilled to be able to finally bring our unique Nanofill Composite Bonding® treatments to Liverpool. We would also like to say a big thank you to Tula, Blanca and Eduardo, as well as Christie & Co, for their dedication and attention to detail during this exciting time.”
Cathy Murphy, Senior Business Agent – Dental at Christie & Co, comments, “It was a pleasure to work with Tula and Blanca on the sale of 3 Step Smile. They have created a clinic with the highest standards of care and an outstanding reputation. It was no surprise that the practice attracted a significant level of interest upon marketing, with a deal agreed in such a short space of time. The North West market remains active, with strong demand and a high level of motivated buyers driving competitive interest.”
3 Step Smiles was sold for an undisclosed price.
