Why we're different :

As the only corporate dental provider in the UK not backed by private equity, we’re in a unique position. We’re committed to the UK dental industry for the long‑term – both private and NHS – and are ready to treat not just today’s patients, but generations to come.

Furthermore, as a limited liability company Bupa has no shareholders, so we’re able to focus 100 % on delivering a great service for our customers. We are run commercially to ensure we remain competitive, but Bupa reinvests 100 % of its profits to help provide better care for patients across the world.
