Truly Dental has purchased 550 Dunbarton Road, a fully fitted healthcare facility comprising five surgery spaces in Glasgow’s West End.

Vendor Dave Kennedy sold the facility due to relocating outside Glasgow.

Kennedy said: “Having acquired the practice in the summer of 2024, I felt that the time was right to move on and take advantage of the current market conditions. Throughout my ownership, it has been a pleasure to be involved with the practice, and I am delighted to be passing it on to Truly. They have an excellent reputation and exciting growth ambitions, and I have every confidence that the practice will continue to thrive under their ownership.”

Jimmy Dalton, chief financial officer of Truly Dental, commented: “We were immediately attracted to the practice due to its prime West End location and the high quality of the existing fit-out. The five-surgery facility provides an excellent foundation for our second Truly practice in Glasgow and supports our ambition to bring accessible, high-quality dental care to even more patients across the city. Looking ahead, we plan to further develop the practice into a modern and welcoming Truly Dental clinic, with a particular focus on affordable surgical dentistry and delivering an exceptional patient experience. We are excited to begin this next chapter and look forward to welcoming both new and existing patients to the practice.”

Business property advisor Christie & Co facilitated the sale.

Kevin Strain, senior business agent, Dental at Christie & Co, said: “The sale of 550 Dumbarton Road demonstrates the strength of demand we are currently seeing for well-located squat dental opportunities across Scotland. There is a lot of appetite from buyers for opportunities where they can acquire a quality location and build a practice around their own vision. I wish all parties the best for the future.”

550 Dunbarton Road was sold for an undisclosed price.
