[H2] Frequently asked questions
How does National Dental Care differ from other dental groupsWe are different from other dental groups. Our focus is on growing our practice network and our individual practices in the right way, meaning that we partner with like-minded dentists that share our values whilst also continually investing in our support infrastructure to ensure we provide all our practices with the best possible support.We are a company that is led clinically by our CAC, which is critical to delivering on our mission to provide superior dental care to our patients across the country.Other dental groups also offer back office support, how does NDC differ?We are truly committed to supporting each practice across every function.NDC has and continues to invest significantly in our support infrastructure across all business functions such as operations, marketing, contact centre, HR, IT, Cyber Security and finance, making the day-to-day running of a practice easier to manage and allowing the practice team and practice to grow.We are also very focused on career development opportunities for all team members, which is delivered via our learning and development platform, the NDC Academy.Does NDC value practice(s) in the same way as other dental groups?No. Our evaluation process truly recognises not only the value you have created in your business, but also the value you and your team will bring to NDC, and our attractive offers reflect this.Would an NDC offer reflect the full value of my business?Our offers are structured in a way that recognises the full value of your business, even if impacted by COVID or similar events, as well as the potential for your business to grow in the future.Does NDC reward the growth of my business, and how does it differ from other dental groups?Not all dental groups reward future growth. We recognise the value in you and your business and present you with an offer that reflects your track record and future growth potential.How does NDC's earn-out period differ from other dental groups, and do you have clawbacks?We listen to you and work with you to deliver the best earn-out option. We do not have clawbacks in our offers - we strongly believe clawback regimes do not provide a basis for a true partnership.Will NDC change everything in the practice if we join you?No. Unlike some other dental groups, we are focused on helping to grow your business in a way that's right for you, the practice and your patients. Similarly, to all our lead dentists, you will retain leadership of day-to-day operations of your practice.Will I maintain clinical autonomy if I join NDC?Yes, absolutely. We understand the importance for clinicians to maintain their clinical autonomy in delivering patient care. Rather, we work in collaboration with you and your team to support the practice.
