A city centre dental practice with around 5,000 patients has been sold to English group Smile Rooms.
1 Smile Dental Clinic on Renfield Street is a four-surgery practice offering cosmetic, restorative and implant treatment. It becomes Smile Rooms' ninth clinic and its first in Scotland.
The practice was owned by brothers Dr Ryan Shum and Dr Dean Shum, who have run it since 2021 and moved it from NHS to private care. They are selling to focus on family commitments but will keep working there as dentists.
Smile Rooms director Hanel Nathwani said the company plans to invest in the practice and support the existing team. Adviser Christie & Co said the sale attracted multiple offers.
