Livingbridge has sold Fresh Tandartsen to European Dental Group, a portfolio company of Nordic Capital

Fresh Tandartsen

Founded in 2014, Fresh Tandartsen is a leading dental services organization in the Netherlands. The group provides a range of routine and specialist treatments, including implants, orthodontics and endodontics. With 41 practices and seven labs, it is one of the largest dental consolidators in the country.

The Deal

Under a successful partnership with Livingbridge, Fresh Tandartsen has rapidly evolved into one of the leading dental care providers in the Netherlands. Lincoln International acted as the exclusive sell-side advisor. Through hands-on involvement, cross-border collaboration involving sector teams and local office execution support, Lincoln supported management through an in-depth diligence phase. With 169 Dutch clinics after integration, the acquisition significantly increases European Dental Group’s (EDG’s) presence in the Netherlands, laying a strong foundation for further growth.

Our Perspective

Matthew Lee, Managing Director and Co-Head of Lincoln’s European Healthcare Group, commented, “We are proud to have advised Livingbridge on the sale of Fresh Tandartsen. This transaction is a significant milestone for European Dental Group, who are already a key player in the Dutch market. The addition of Fresh Tandartsen strengthens European Dental Group’s footprint in this market, including enhancing its mobile dental service capabilities, as it looks to demonstrate its position as one of the leading pan-European consolidators. The deal marks the second successful European dental transaction for Lincoln in the last 12 months, and fourth globally, demonstrating our expertise in the sector.”
