The Peppermint Group

What The Peppermint Group does

The Peppermint Group is a private, founder-owned dental and aesthetic clinic operating two locations in Glasgow, Scotland: a headquarters at 270 Bath Street (established on that site for over 100 years) and a second clinic in Maryhill. Founded and directed by Dr Rita Poddar, the practice delivers a multi-specialty service portfolio spanning general and cosmetic dentistry (NHS and private), facial aesthetics (Botox, dermal fillers, PDO thread lifts, PRP therapy), skin treatments (Obagi, ZO, WOW Fusion, RF microneedling, polynucleotides), and body aesthetics (CoolSculpting, weight management). Notable technical capabilities include an in-house CEREC CAD-CAM ceramic studio enabling same-day dental crowns and the use of Edelweiss same-day veneer systems.

The business operates on a direct-to-consumer model with consumers booking via phone, online portal (dentalhub.online), or in-person consultations. Pricing is per-treatment across a wide range — from £55 dental exams to £17,000+ for All-on-4 dental implants — with financing available through partner Kandoo Finance. The practice is supported by approximately 19 clinical and administrative staff including dental surgeons, hygienists, aesthetic practitioners, a consultant physiotherapist, and a nurse prescriber. Patient testimonials, expert press coverage in The Scotsman and Sunday Post, and multi-award recognition (Entrepreneur of the Year, Women in Business in Scotland) form the core marketing and trust-building apparatus.

The group has expanded its footprint through sub-brands including Dr Pod Brand (vegan skincare), Peppermint Lashes Clinic, and adjacent service lines (joint pain, weight management). Revenue is not publicly disclosed; the multi-clinic, multi-service, multi-vertical structure suggests an estimated annual revenue in the low single-digit millions GBP range, though this is unverified. The company is privately held with no disclosed funding, parent company, or institutional investor.
