Our new model allows you to take a carefully planned exit…
This will be achieved by handing over the reins to your team and an ethical employee-owned social enterprise. This is achieved through selling your practice to an Employee Ownership Trust (EOT) of your team as majority owners who become a member of the Smile Together Family.
Here’s how it looks from a structure and benefits perspective. Also, take a look at our videos which let you know more about the benefits of employee ownership, what it is like from a clinical perspective, and also how other organisations outside of the dental sector have embraced the model.

Paul Critchley
Managing Director
Paul explains what inspired Smile Together to transition to an Employee Owned Community Interest Company back in 2016. He also discusses how, as a bold and innovative organisation, the transition has delivered against his ambitions
Jonathan Bouwer-Davies
Dental Director
There are very few EO dental CICs in the UK – so from a clinical career perspective, how does this give such practices a unique edge? Why should other dentists, indeed other dental teams, choose to join the Employee-Owned family?
John Burchill
Chair of the Board
As a distinguished lawyer, John has supported Smile Together’s journey from the outset. He’s also advised other clients in many different sectors on becoming Community Interest Companies – why is it proven to be such a successful model?
