London dental practice acquired by group

18 December 2024

Christie & Co has completed the sale of Castelnau Dentists in Barnes, South West London, to Envisage Dental.

Castelnau Dentists is a large, five-surgery dental practice that was set up almost 30 years ago by the former owner and principal, Alex Jabour. It offers a broad range of dental services to its patients, including general preventive, cosmetic and restorative dentistry, specialist treatments, and hygiene services.

Alex said, “Deciding to sell the practice was a significant step for me, and seeking out the right partner was of paramount importance, in ensuring the continuity of patient care, and the foundations upon which I have developed the business alongside such a dedicated and fantastic team of staff and clinicians. I am delighted to have found that partner in Envisage Dental, and I very much look forward to the next phase in my career and seeing the continued growth and development of the practice.”

The practice is situated south of Hammersmith Bridge, in the London district of Barnes, drawing on a significant patient base and offering wide scope for further growth in clinical revenue streams.

Following a confidential sales process with Steve Darbon, a director at Christie & Co, it has been purchased by Envisage Dental, a national dental group which owns and operates 68 practices.

Jon Toh, director of partnerships at Envisage Dental, commented, “We're delighted to have completed the purchase of Castelnau Dentists. The most exciting part of the process was meeting with Alex, as our philosophies of doing the right thing for our patients and team resonated from the first introduction and that spirit continued during the diligence process. The team has joined seamlessly into our group of the highest quality private clinics in the country, and we look forward to partnering with Alex and the wider team, as we enjoy many years of mutual success working in partnership together."

Steve said, “It was a pleasure working with Alex in the sale of Castelnau Dentists and we were delighted to have supported him in those plans. This sale represents the continued market demand for opportunities of scale, with a history of delivering high-quality dental care to patients, as well as the successful development of the business. This significant transaction re-affirms that the sector continues to offer fantastic opportunities for ongoing investment, acquisition and partnerships, and we would like to congratulate Envisage Dental on this successful acquisition of Castelnau Dentists. I have no doubt that the future partnership will prove to be highly successful as Alex enters the next chapter in his dental career.”

The sale was completed for an undisclosed sum.
