Oasis Healthcare, a company that operates more than 205 dental practices in the U.K., has purchased Smiles Dental for an undisclosed sum.
Established in 2005, Smiles has 77 dental practices throughout the Republic of Ireland and the U.K.
The addition of Smiles will increase Oasis' turnover from 160 million pounds to more than 210 million pounds. Oasis provides National Health Service (NHS), private, and specialist dental care to more than 2.5 million patients, according to the company.
"Smiles is highly complementary to our existing business and shares many of our core values, including a commitment to offering patients real choice, service excellence, and transparent pricing," said Justin Ash, CEO of Oasis Healthcare Group.
Oasis will brand the new practices as Oasis Dental Care in the U.K. and will maintain the Smiles brand in Ireland, the company noted.
