One Devonshire Place, a listed orthodontic practice in the suburb of Edgbaston, Birmingham, has been sold for an undisclosed sum.

Founded in 2001 by renowned specialist orthodontist, Robert Slater, One Devonshire Place is a reputable private-income practice with a modern fit-out that includes a spacious reception area, waiting rooms, and four surgeries.

It sits just a few miles from Birmingham city centre in the affluent residential area of Edgbaston.

Slater recently decided to sell to begin his retirement planning, but will continue working for a period of time following the takeover.

The deal was brokered by Steve O’Connor at Christie & Co and sees the practice taken on by Yorkshire Dental Suite, a fast-growing national group.
