When Dr. Vikram Kavi, Dr. Jayendra Patel and Dr. Prianka Hansrani envisioned Cathedral Dental, they were not looking to simply open a clinic; they were looking to build a monument to modern dentistry from the ground up. Today, that vision becomes a reality with the grand opening of their brand-new “squat” practice—a project defined by clinical innovation, strategic financial planning, and expert craftsmanship.
A foundation of proven excellence
The success of this ambitious launch is underpinned by the dentists’ formidable reputation in both NHS and private dentistry. By using their deep understanding of the “mixed” dental model, Dr. Patel and Dr. Hansrani have designed Cathedral Dental to be uniquely versatile.
The facility seamlessly balances high-end cosmetic and private treatments with the essential, community-focused accessibility of NHS care, ensuring world-class dental efficiency for every patient.
Strategic partnership with Performance Finance
Transforming a “blank canvas” into a high-tech dental facility requires a partner who understands the high stakes of a new business launch. The duo partnered with Susan Marshall from Performance Finance, who designed a bespoke funding package specifically structured to support the business during its critical opening phase.
“Working with the team was an absolute pleasure,” says Susan Marshall.
“My priority was to strip away the financial stress associated with a squat practice.
By structuring the funding to support their cash flow, we allowed them to focus entirely on their clinical setup.
Their experience in the sector meant they knew exactly what was required to succeed.”
The power of tailored fit-out & equipment funding.
Launching a squat practice demands significant upfront investment in both infrastructure and technology—areas where traditional lenders often hesitate. Performance Finance provided specialised facilities that covered the project’s “soft costs” and high-tech clinical assets in one cohesive package:
- Premium internal build: Full funding for architectural partitioning, high-durability medical-grade flooring, and bespoke cabinetry for all surgeries and sterilisation zones.
- Ultramodern clinical suite: Three state-of-the-art dental surgeries equipped with high-performance treatment centres.
- Advanced diagnostics & digital workflow: A high-resolution CBCT scanner for complex implant planning and the latest Intraoral (IO) scanners for a seamless, impression-free patient journey.
- Gold-standard sterilisation: A dedicated decontamination suite featuring top-tier autoclaves, ensuring uncompromising patient safety.
Excellence in Execution: NSD Projects Ltd (Director Hemal Patel: hemal@nsdprojects.co.uk)
The physical build was entrusted to NSD Projects Ltd, who transformed the space into a luxury clinical environment. From the sleek, minimalist reception area to the innovative surgery layouts, the craftsmanship has set a new aesthetic and functional standard for dental practices in the region.
The dynamic team at Cathedral Dental said,
“We are absolutely delighted with our new practice.”
“Having spent years refining our approach in mixed dentistry, we knew exactly what our patients needed. Susan at Performance Finance gave us the confidence to go ‘all-in’ on our vision, and NSD Projects delivered a finish that is truly exceptional.
The feedback from our patients has been nothing short of amazing.”
