The DB Dental Timeline

Established 1995

When Janet and David Bennett (AKA mum and dad) set up DB Dental in their bedroom in July 1995, little could they have imagined the exciting journey that lay ahead. Armed with knowledge, experience and more than a bit of grim determination (we suspect), they set about creating a lasting family business.

And what a business it’s become – one that specialises in sale, maintenance and installation of all dental equipment and furniture anywhere in the UK. You can read the full story here or take a quick walk through time to the milestones that have shaped DB Dental into the business it is today:

Their lounge is regularly full of dental chairs and other equipment and it is a standing family joke that if David needs spare parts, he will raid Nick’s toy box under his bed because that’s where he stashes his quick disconnects!
