Swedbank Robur Alternative Equity I invests in Oris Dental

Published 12 september 2024

Swedbank Robur Alternative Equity I invests NOK 100 million in Oris Dental together with co-owning management and the main owner Bridgepoint Development Capital.

Oris Dental was founded in 2016 by six renowned dental clinics in Norway with the vision of creating a dentist-centric platform with a focus on operational excellence and professional development. Today, Oris Dental is a leading dental care player in the Nordic region and operates more than 100 clinics plus laboratories in Norway, Sweden and recently in Denmark.

We are proud to invest in Oris Dental and support the continued success of the founders and main owner Bridgepoint Development Capital. The quality with which the Group has been established is a strong basis for future growth and excellent customer care. The fragmented Nordic dental market provides opportunities for Oris Dental to grow both organically and through continued acquisitions, benefiting from a scalable platform and efficient integration processes," says Henrik Lundh, head of Alternative Investments at Swedbank Robur, and Patrik Westerberg, co-manager of the fund.

We are very pleased to welcome Swedbank Robur Alternative Equity I as a new supporting investor and partner in Oris Dental. It is with pride and joy that I look back on the journey that we primary dentists started in 2016 and that has continued with Bridgepoint Development Capital, our added dental partners, and all the talented employees. Together, we are now continuing our journey by providing premium dental care services under our values of dentistry on the patient’s terms and conditions and “dentistry reimagined”, which includes an ambition to act professionally, technically and humanely," says Eirik Aasland Salvesen, co-founder and CEO of Oris Dental.

Oris Dental has developed strongly since our initial partnership was formed in 2020, and is now in an attractive position for further growth. We look forward to continuing to develop the company, now also together with Swedbank Robur Alternative Equity I, which shares our and the management’s vision," says Johan Gustafsson, Partner at Bridgepoint Development Capital.
