A Bolton dentist has plenty to smile about after celebrating opening four new clinics in the past 18 months.

Dr Zuber Bagasi is Clinical Director of Synergy Dental Clinics Group and has steadily enlarged this since starting the group in 2007.

There is now a total of 16 clinics.

In spite of post-lockdown difficulties, he opened a new clinic in High Street, Little Lever last year to add to the two local surgeries in Blackburn Road and High Street in Bolton.

Synergy also opened another in Adlington.

The latest additions also mean new Synergy Clinics in Liverpool, opposite the city’s historic Albert Dock in the trendy Cargo Building, as well as in Macclesfield, Oldham and Haslingden.

There are also Synergy clinics in Bury, Blackburn, Leyland, Burnley, Birmingham, Blackpool, Preston and Ormskirk.

They all offer a variety of services with the most popular treatments composite veneers, dental implants, teeth whitening and Invisalign clear braces.

Dr Bagasi, who lives in Lostock, said: “Although all our clinics are for private patients, we make routine dental care affordable – matching the NHS banding system to ensure everyone can access our services.

“Despite the economic crisis, we have excellent support from local patients in all our areas. We listen to what they want and try to react by tailoring our services. The result is that we have plenty of positive feedback.”

Dr Bagasi is also well-known in the field of training and raises money for various charities through his running and cycling.
