Oasis Dental Care, a leading provider of NHS, private and specialist dental care in the UK, has moved up an impressive 90 places in the 2015 Sunday Times Grant Thornton Top Track 250.

The prestigious annual league table of British businesses ranks Britain’s leading private mid-market growth companies by sales.  Appearing in the Top Track 250 for the last three years, Oasis has jumped from 209 in 2014 to 119 this year.

Oasis Dental Care’s success can be attributed to a time of significant growth and achievements.  In the last year alone, Oasis Dental Care, which now has 350 practices across the UK and Republic of Ireland, has gone through a period of rapid expansion - growing by over a third in size. 

Recent acquisitions including Apex Dental and Smiles Dental, which saw Oasis break into the Republic of Ireland and Scotland for the first time, increased the number of practices by 135 since 2014.

During this time, turnover has increased by 48 per cent and EBITDAE by 46 per cent in the same period.  As a result, private revenue has grown by 8.6 per cent on a like for like basis.

Putting patients at the heart of everything it does, Oasis Dental Care now engages almost 1,500 dentists and 3,000 staff to deliver high quality dentistry to its 2.8m patients. As it continues to expand, consistency in delivering quality dental services to patients across its practices is vital to the company’s success.

The largest chain of private dentistry in the UK, whilst also being the second biggest provider of NHS dental care, Oasis is committed to increasing access to affordable quality dentistry and expanding choice.  It has been championing clear transparent pricing, moving to single price points in most practices, as well as extended opening hours – with many practices opening 8am to 7pm at least three days a week, some practices also open Saturdays and a few extending to seven days a week.

Justin Ash (pictured), chief executive at Oasis Dental Care, commented: “Firstly, I want to express my thanks to staff and dentists for their hard work to achieve this success. Seeing the company jump so many places in this year’s Top Track 250 is a real achievement and testament to the hard work that the team have put in across the board.  It’s been a year of tremendous growth, driven by both organic growth and acquisitions and mergers. As we work towards building Oasis as the first national UK brand in dental care, we are 100 per cent committed to providing a combination of high quality, committed staff and excellent facilities to deliver a clear consumer offering.”
