Saint Visage is different. At Saint Visage, we treat every patient as we would like to be treated ourselves: this philosophy is at the heart of everything we do. Our continued investment in the best technology, the best practices, and the best clinicians is all part of our passion to deliver the very best experience at every one of our practices.

We’re the natural home of private dentistry. When you join Saint Visage Dental Group, you get complete clinical freedom with labs and materials. Practices have a clinical support network: clinicians work with good nurses with good qualifications in a professional environment that we help to develop. The Saint Visage approach is about supporting the dentist, and we do that by ensuring our practices are well staffed and well trained.

We don’t use cheaper materials that drive up margins but slow down dentists. We don’t source cheaper labs that dentists can’t work with efficiently. We understand what it takes to run a great practice, rather than simply how to be a business.

At Saint Visage, it’s all about culture. By working with people who share our values, we can make a practice work. We want to work with practices that put the needs of their patients front and center. People are attracted to places they can build a relationship with. If that is already in place, Saint Visage can help the practice stay at the forefront.

Saint Visage Dental Group is growing fast because we add value to the practices that join us, so we look for practices we think we can optimize. We think about what treatments are on offer at each practice, when they’re on offer, and patient access. A lot of value comes from operational efficiency and getting the basics right: how practices communicate with patients, and how you attract patients in the first place. This is where Saint Visage can really help drive the growth of your practice.

When you join Saint Visage, you join a network of high-caliber dental practices. You are not alone but benefit from the support of passionate clinicians and well-trained colleagues. Here are just some of the benefits to joining Saint Visage:

• We will secure your exit route and percentage goodwill, while you will continue to benefit from the growth of the practice.
• We expect you to continue to have input into the practice, but you’ll have less responsibility and financial risk.
• You will have the support of a professional management team.
• We will reduce the administrative burden of staff and accounting so that you have more time to focus on your patients and your growth.
• You can enjoy the benefits of a ‘hub and spoke’ referral system.
• You will benefit from an increased support network of highly experienced clinicians sharing best practices.

The main benefits that our practices experience are that they don’t have to be involved with practice management, such as payroll, associates’ pay, accounts, and staff issues. This enables you to focus more on dental procedures and your patients, which normally results in greater productivity and an increase in income.

We invest in the training of support staff and ensure each member of staff has a development plan. We fund courses for ancillary staff, and for each recognized qualification, they receive an increase in remuneration. There are also annual appraisals and salary reviews, so each member of your team has a recognizable career path and is rewarded based on their performance. This leads to a more motivated and capable workforce.

We also have a significant impact in developing the practice referral base through marketing and CPD events. The result is significant growth in revenue. From a professional perspective, you will have access to a wider circle of professional colleagues. We encourage clinicians to join specialist forums within the Saint Visage community where you can meet specialists of the same discipline to discuss updates in your field, best protocols, and new products.

You can use these forums to benefit your practice, and also to offer us feedback on what you feel could be improved and what you’re hoping to achieve through joining Saint Visage. We will work with you to ensure we have a mutually beneficial relationship.

No, some Saint Visage Dental Group practices have NHS contracts, but all our practices must be focused on providing private care.
