Dental Practices for Sale in Somerset
Somerset blends almost 1 million residents ❲965,424 at the 2021 Census) with the South-West’s fastest-growing district centres – Taunton alone expanded 8.7 % in the last decade.
The county’s economy is super-charged by the £26 billion Hinkley Point C nuclear project, now employing 15,000 construction staff and set to create 900 permanent roles for at least 60 years. For every £1 invested, the wider region is already seeing a £2.50 return in value-added output.
Add in year-round tourism across Exmoor and the Mendip coast, plus effortless links via the M5 corridor (J19–J26) and rapid GWR services to London Paddington, and you have a patient base that supports booming private and mixed-income dentistry while keeping NHS demand consistently high.

Why Buy a Dental Practice in Somerset
- Strong & Growing Patient Base – Nearly one million residents, with continued inward migration from Bristol and the South East, sustain reliable chair-time all year.
- Economic Catalysts – Hinkley Point C is injecting billions in wages and supply-chain spend, lifting disposable incomes across Bridgwater, Taunton and beyond.
- Practice Mix & Margins – In 2019-20 Somerset supported 69 NHS-commissioned practices delivering 860,000 UDAs, yet private demand is climbing as only 56 % of patients secure an NHS appointment on first attempt – creating headroom for fee-paying growth.
- Recruitment Pipeline – The South-West Foundation Training Scheme places new graduates in Somerset surgeries each year, while the University of Bristol Dental School lies within a 45-minute commute.
- Connectivity & Lifestyle – The M5 links Bristol Airport (≈30 min) with Exeter, while A303/A358 upgrades further cut drive-times to London; Taunton-Paddington averages 1 h 45 m on GWR fast services.
Market Insights for Somerset
- Average Sale Cycle – 4–10 months from valuation to completion, mirroring national trends.
- Practice Splits – Mixed practices in commuter towns (e.g., Wellington, Frome) command the highest goodwill multiples thanks to robust EBITDA and growth-ready private books.
- Growth Opportunities – Implant, aligner and hygiene plans see rapid uptake in coastal and tourism hubs such as Weston-super-Mare and Minehead, where visitor footfall supplements the local patient pool.
