Established in 1996, Broxburn Dental Practice is a three-surgery predominantly NHS practice with a growing database of over 10,400 registered patients.
Following a confidential sales process with Joel Mannix, head of dental at Christie & Co, and with funding sourced through Stephen McConalogue, associate director at Christie Finance, the practice has been sold to first-time buyer sisters, Maria Taborga and Vivian Taborga.
Maria said, “Carolina and I both grew up, studied, and graduated as dentists in Madrid over 20 years ago. Since then, we have worked as general dental practitioners (GDPs) in Madrid and various cities in the UK. We settled and had our families in Edinburgh, where we also pursued several postgraduate studies over the years. We decided to purchase a practice together, feeling it was a natural step in our personal and professional growth.
“We found Broxburn Dental Practice to be precisely suited to our needs and envisioned it as a good starting point for the practice we wanted to build. Our goal is to help the practice grow to its full potential over the coming years, offering a wider range of high-quality services to our diverse patient base.”
Joel commented, “We were in discussion with the previous owner for a couple of years about his retirement plans and are thrilled to have secured a deal with a great pair of first-time buyers. This is reflective of the current Scottish dental market, where independent operators and first-time buyers are dominating the dental market.”
Stephen added, “I was happy to secure the funding for another first-time buyer. The deal had its challenges along the way, but it was very much a team effort with Joel and me to complete the deal. The dental market has remained very strong in 2024 which has allowed many associates the opportunity to purchase their first practices. With the interest rate dropping again, I can see this continuing into 2025.”
Broxburn Dental Practice was sold for an undisclosed price.
