The Group

Four decades in Holborn. One way of working.

Atelier Dental Group grew from a single practice on Lincoln's Inn Fields into a family of Houses, an academy and a consultancy. The name is deliberate: an atelier is a workshop where craft is practised, taught and passed on.

Our story

Where it began.

Sardinia House Dental Practice opened in 1981 on Lincoln's Inn Fields, a short walk from Holborn station. Over more than four decades it built the kind of reputation that only word of mouth can: patients who travel from across the country, and a team that plans complex cases together.

Dr Amit Patel took on the practice and rebuilt it around a fully digital workflow: scanning in every surgery, 3D imaging, microscopes, and an in-house lab that mills and prints the same day. That workflow became the template. Bellevue Dental in Wandsworth and Widegate House in Spitalfields followed, each with its own character and its own clinical director, each running the same system.

Building Better Dental Academy exists to teach that system to the profession. AP Consultancy exists to help other owners build it in their own practices. The Atelier Network brings partner practices and clinicians into the same standard, as part of the group.

Our purpose

To make exceptional private dentistry feel like belonging.

And to raise the standard of the wider profession by sharing how we work. We deliver bespoke, predictable, technology-led care through a calm and seamless patient journey: high-end, but never daunting.

What we believe
Confidence is a right, not a privilege.
True confidence comes from revealing the real you, not a different you.
The best craft lives in the details others can't see.
Art and science are stronger woven together.
Everyone deserves Michelin-star service.
