Clyde Munro has announced a three-year multi-million pound investment plan that will secure the growth and development of its portfolio of dental practices.
The dental group currently cares for around 500,000 patients across Scotland.
As part of its plans, the business has announced the appointment of Chris Howell as chairman.
Clyde Munro will implement an expansive growth strategy designed to improve patient access and care across Scotland. The strategy will focus on enhancing practice infrastructure, learning and development using its state-of-the-art advanced dentistry academy in Perth.
It will also advance the group’s use of digital and AI technology, and support recruitment plans over the next three years.

Clyde Munro confirmed it will welcome 18 new dentists to its practices this year to improve patient access in both urban and rural locations. Its Fort William practice, which is now the biggest in the group, has 13 clinicians with a further two joining in August.
In addition to expanding its team, Clyde Munro is prioritising the development of its people through new training programmes. This includes using the Clyde Munro Training Academy to offer early career dentists and dental therapists the chance to expand skills.
Chris Howell, chair of Clyde Munro, said: ‘I am delighted to work with such a great business where the entire organisation is deeply committed to improving access to quality dental care across Scotland.’
Jim Hall, CEO of Clyde Munro, added: ‘We have always focused on improving access to high-quality dental care across Scotland. The sector has had its challenges with the shortage of dentists of late, but we have remained committed to navigating these. This new strategy is a testament to ensuring that more patients across the whole of Scotland can receive excellent care.
‘We are excited to welcome Chris as chair and believe his experience and input will be invaluable as we embark on this next stage of growth and development.’
