The Northbrook Clinic

What The Northbrook Clinic does

The Northbrook Clinic is a multi-specialty referral medical and dental clinic established in 1993 in Ranelagh, Dublin, operating from a converted Gothic Revival building on Northbrook Road. The clinic serves as a referral hub where general dentists and doctors throughout Ireland send complex cases to nine independently practicing specialists and consultants across disciplines including orthodontics, endodontics, prosthodontics, periodontics, cosmetic dentistry, oral surgery, aesthetic and reconstructive surgery, dermatology, orofacial pain management, and psychiatric therapy. Treatment is delivered through a specialist-tenancy model in which each practitioner runs an independent practice under the clinic roof and returns patients to their referring practitioner upon completion of the treatment protocol.

The clinic's core technology platform is its on-site X-Ray Department, which provides digital radiography services including Lateral Cephalometric Radiographs (€60), Panoramic Radiography (OPG), Dental Cone Beam CT scans (€150), and Optical Scanning. These imaging services are available to both in-clinic patients and external referring dentists. The Aesthetic Clinic, founded in 2011 in partnership with Akademikliniken Stockholm, adds the Vectra 3-D Face and Body Imaging System — the only such installation in Ireland — for aesthetic surgery consultations and surgical planning, with operative procedures performed at Blackrock Clinic.

The revenue model is fee-for-service professional services across two primary streams: specialist dental services and specialist medical services, augmented by diagnostic imaging. The clinic operates a sales-led go-to-market driven by professional referral networks from general dental and medical practitioners across Ireland, supplemented by direct patient enquiries and self-referrals. Marketing channels are limited to a professional website and a Facebook page, with no digital advertising or paid acquisition signals. The clinic is privately held, founder-/owner-operated, and has no disclosed institutional investment, funding rounds, or M&A activity.
