London-born Zental, one of the fastest growing UK dental groups has successfully raised further investment to continue its expansion throughout London and the South East of England. UAE-based, Cavendish Group the original anchor investor in Zental extended their investment in 2021 due to "the management team's strategic vision, unique blend of expertise and ethical purpose".
Arif Al-Suwaidi - Co-Founder and CEO of Zental commented "Zental was born with a strong desire to help humanity and do good. We have a long-term, strategic vision with our personal philosophy and core values at the heart of everything we do. We believe we have an ethical and moral responsibility to all our stakeholders and choose to adopt stringent environmental, social and corporate governance to ensure we remain at the forefront of healthcare."
Zental was established in 2018 by two childhood friends with a purpose of helping people live healthier, happier and longer lives. They envisioned that by making a visit to the dentist a positive journey, it would encourage more people to recognise the importance of oral health on their wellbeing. Regular oral care is one of the most effective lifestyle habits that has been shown to reduce chronic illness later in life.
The first Zental opened in January 2019 in Barnet, on the borders of London and Hertfordshire. Zental Barnet is now one of the leading general, cosmetic and specialist dental clinics in the UK. The group expanded their coverage across North London in February 2020 with the opening of their second practice in Cricklewood. Zental Cricklewood based on Cricklewood Broadway in London was a strategically important location for the group. It is a busy thoroughfare that connects Central and North West London and helps support Zental Barnet serve more communities across the North London area. The group opened two further locations throughout 2021 in Bletchley to serve the Milton Keynes and surrounding area and Bexleyheath to serve the South East of London and Kent.
