Word of Mouth Dental Care, London – Finance Success Story

We’re delighted to have supported the successful acquisition of Word of Mouth Dental Care in London, helping the buyer secure the funding required to become a practice owner.

Having first connected with Luke Shelton from the Dental Elite Finance team at BDIA 2025, the buyer embarked on a journey that led to practice ownership within just 12 months.

Throughout the process, Luke worked closely with the buyer to provide clear guidance, structure the funding appropriately, and ensure everything progressed smoothly behind the scenes. His hands-on approach and consistent support helped give confidence at every stage, ultimately enabling the transaction to complete successfully.

The experience was reflected in the buyer’s feedback:

“I had the pleasure of meeting Luke Shelton from the Dental Elite finance team at BDIA 2025, and within 12 months I successfully became a practice owner – a journey that Luke played a key role in.

Throughout the entire process, Luke was consistently supportive, approachable, and reliable. He was always within reach, took the time to offer clear and sound advice, and made me feel confident at every stage. Nothing ever felt like too much trouble, and he always made sure I was well looked after.

What really stood out was his commitment behind the scenes. Luke coordinated extensively to ensure everything progressed smoothly and ultimately helped get the deal over the line. I genuinely appreciate his dedication and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for expert financial guidance in the dental sector.

I am so glad that I met you last year and it is amazing what one year can do. Thank you for everything and making my dream come true!” – Kopi Thirunelakandan

“My experience using the service has been exceptional. I would rate the service 5 out of 5 Ted Johnston was the person dealing with the sale. He was committed, supportive and gave, what I felt was 150% to get the practice sold. I cannot speak too highly of him. I would definitely use the service again and most definitely recommend others to use Dental Elite.”

“We were very happy with the service received from Dental Elite. I would rate the service we received as a 5 out of 5. Everyone I dealt with over the long process from start to finish was very helpful and friendly. Because it was a long process, we had several people helping us at various stages, all were fantastic. Without a doubt, I would use Dental Elite’s services again.”

"From the very start Dental Elite was nothing but professional, friendly and efficient. Lottie, Nick, and the rest of the team have helped and supported us every single step of the way. Our sale proved to be challenging, however, we could always rely on the whole team to get us past the finish line. Thank you Dental Elite. You have been amazing!"

“My experience working with Phil and Carl was very positive, they were both professional, helpful and knowledgeable. They gave me the ultimate confidence from the get-go, which is definitely what you need when you’ve got someone managing the sale. “I certainly would recommend Dental Elite's services to others – They were excellent!”

Michelle Bates

“I have tried to sell my practice before and never really liked how other brokers approached me as a client, but when I spoke with Julie Randle I had a gut feeling that she was the right person to sell my practice. Dental Elite found me the right buyer who would approach dentistry the way I do. Selling your practice can be a very stressful process and I absolutely relied on Julie, especially when there were major renegotiations. I can’t praise Dental Elite highly enough, right from initial valuation to doing viewings and through to completion they were absolutely excellent. I would heartily recommend Dental Elite to others.”

Mike Elrich

Rushin Patel

"We used the services of DE finance to buy a practice. Luke Shelton was very helpful. He knew the whole process, was very pro active, quick with communications to resolve things. He also got us the best market rate at very favourable terms which wasn't available in the open market. Thanks Luke"

“We chose Dental Elite after we initially had the practice on sale with another agent who had overvalued the practice. I worked with Phil Kolodynski then Carl Wetton. They were both highly professional and helped guide us through the sales process.”
