Practices

As at 1 April 2025:

• we had more than 370 dental practices operating across the UK;
• we employ in excess of 1,200 employees;
• we engage with over 2000 self-employed dental consultants/specialists;
• we engage with approximately 2500 suppliers per annum.

Our vision is to be the best private-focused dental group in the world. We aim to achieve this by:

• putting patient care at the heart of everything we do;
• delivering innovative and world class dental care;
• always looking to develop and improve;
• by being at the heart of every local community; and
• by being an amazing place to work.

In respect of our colleagues, we have implemented a range of internal policies and procedures to ensure best practice and compliance with UK employment laws, e.g. these include; transparent recruitment processes, annual pay reviews, equal opportunities initiatives and protections, health and safety procedures.

Our central value is to treat everyone how we would want to be treated and we apply this principle to our colleagues, patients and third-party contacts.

As a group, we work to the highest professional standards and comply with all laws, regulations and rules which are relevant to our business. Our vision of being at the heart of the local community, aims to improve the impact of our business on the surrounding areas to our practices.

At PortmanDentex, we believe in creating and retaining a diverse and gender balanced workforce, which re ects the customers and communities we serve, but we recognise this is a challenge when the sectors workforce is 85% female. Nonetheless, we strive to achieve this across our organisation by attracting more men into dental nursing and customer facing positions, and more women into senior level positions.

It is important to note that Gender Pay Gap is different from ‘equal pay’. Equal pay is the difference in pay between men and women who carry out the same or comparable jobs. At PortmanDentex, men and women in like-for-like positions are remunerated equally.

We are committed to using this opportunity to look at how we can most effectively tackle the gap which exists, because we want to give everyone, men and women, working at PortmanDentex the opportunity to be their best selves at work. See our latest Gender Pay Gap report;
