Dentius’ model relies on (i) a close partnership with dentists, who handover administrative tasks (appointments, HR, purchasing, accounting, etc.) to a shared service center and can thus focus on their clinical work, in a stimulating setting, and with a full clinical autonomy and (ii) a qualitative and modern care offering focused on patients.

Dentius benefits from the Qualicor accreditation and offers a wide range of dentistry treatments, covering general dentistry (prevention, examinations, cavity treatment, etc.), restorative and aesthetic dentistry (implants, prosthetics, etc.) and specialty dentistry (orthodontics, periodontics, paediatrics, etc.).

Investment:

In July 2021, Florac invested in Dentius as a minority shareholder alongside the founders and managers, who retain control of the Group.

Dentius initially developed in Belgium (Flanders, Wallonia, and Brussels) through an acquisition and greenfield model, and more recently in Germany (2019), the Netherlands (2020) and France (2021).
