Dental Companies Profit Surge, CMA Investigates
Update: 2025-11-24
Description
Four of Britains largest dental companies have reportedly earned over one billion pounds in the last two years, prompting a CMA investigation into rising costs and lack of transparency. The Chancellor has directed the CMA to address concerns of hidden costs, overtreatment, and lack of transparency. The investigation comes after a media report revealed that private dental treatments can cost hundreds of pounds more than NHS rates. The health service is struggling with a shortage of dental professionals, leading to soaring prices and many areas being considered NHS dental deserts. The Association of Dental Groups warns that without a significant increase in new dentists, inflationary pressures will continue to impact the sector.
