From one practice to four
James and Frida Prince founded The Dental Hub in 2012. It started as a single practice in Wetherby. Now, it has grown to four sites. The group serves patients in York, Harrogate and Knaresborough. The expansion adds a brand-new facility to a high street, transforming a vacant dental practice into a modern, welcoming environment equipped with the latest technology.
The new site has already created five full-time roles, including dental nurses, receptionists, hygienists and implantologists, with further recruitment planned as demand grows.
Backing local growth with Lloyds support
James and Frida purchased and renovated the Knaresborough property with the help of a six-figure finance package from Lloyds, their long-standing banking provider. Lloyds has supported The Dental Hub since its inception, providing funding for new premises, equipment and digital upgrades.

We’re proud to bring a full suite of dental services to the community, create new jobs and expand the range of treatments we offer in North Yorkshire. The funding and support from Lloyds have been vital in making this next step possible. The Bank has backed us since day one when we started in 2012, and we look forward to continuing that partnership as we grow and serve more patients across the region.
The Knaresborough practice offers a full range of private dental services, including general dentistry, implants, aesthetic orthodontics, composite bonding, whitening and veneers. All four Dental Hub locations feature advanced equipment such as digital X-rays and 3D imaging, ensuring precision and comfort for patients.

Confidence in healthcare recovery
The expansion comes at a time when confidence in the healthcare sector is showing signs of recovery, according to the latest Lloyds Healthcare Confidence Index, despite ongoing challenges.
