Meet Harry & Sandy
Our founders
Dr Sandy Dau and Harry Gill founded Envisage Dental in 2014 with the first clinic purchased in February 2014. Their purpose has remained the same, to deliver the best experience at every interaction. Early on they recognised that it takes a team to create a great clinic, so they focussed on creating a culture that empowers teams and puts patients at the centre of everything they do. After successfully having several clinics join their group, a long-term vision of redefining group dentistry was born, where we bring together truly exceptional private dental clinics that share our patient led purpose.
Sandy and Harry are proud to be one of the only groups founded by a Dentist and still majority owned by founders and senior management team. This truly creates a long-term approach to building a great group.
“Our group has always been strongly committed to our values and the way we conduct ourselves with all of our stakeholders (clinic teams, principles, patients, suppliers etc..). Our ‘business compass’ has been defined to establish a behaviour that lives up to our vision to redefine group dentistry.”

What our practices are saying
My experience of Envisage throughout the whole sale process and since we have joined have been very positive.
I would very much recommend Envisage to future sellers. They very much care about your ethos, they don’t want to change the branding, and they very much want you to continue what you have been doing well.

Envisage Dental approached me and I found them much friendlier than other corporates. They are a corporate with heart!

We still have complete clinical freedom to care for our patients exactly as they always were and see no reason for this to ever change.
Jill and I plan to take even more time off now and hopefully get back to enjoying our holidays safe in the knowledge that our practice is in good hands with Envisage Dental!
Video Read MoreJill and I came to the decision to sell the practice in 2020. We explored our options and had lengthy conversations and offers with all the usual corporate groups. It was important that Jill and I chose the right partner as we are still invested in the future of the practice and wanted the best for our patients and staff. Envisage were the right choice for us!
They understood what the practice means to us and how important it was for us to partner with a group who wouldn’t lose the practices heritage and values by changing the way we operate as a team. Envisage were the only group who reassured us that our staff would be looked after too.

The future for us feels lighter and safer than it was.
Since joining, Envisage have helped with strategy planning and investment which has enabled a lot of practice growth.
We’ve introduced a digital pathway for patients, investing in new technology and equipment. We’ve also recently extended the practice, building a separate hygiene suite to focus on preventative perio for our patients.
Video Read MoreOf all the offers we had on the table we decided to go with Envisage as they were most aligned to our values. It was important to us to maintain the autonomy that we had on a day to day basis and minimise the amount of change for our team.
Many of our patients aren’t even aware that we are no longer independent.

The investment and growth would not have been to the same level without the help and support of Envisage and the team.
