There are over 4000 Dental Therapists registered in the UK and I believe they are under-utilised in general dental practice.

Therapy Led Protocol building

What if you could support every member of your team
to reach their full potential?


Involving the whole team in patient care can deliver new benefits to patients and practices alike.

- focus on the skills and procedures dentists love

​- holistic treatment planning that patients understand
- maximise profitability
- improve team communication


And that's not all, with the Therapist-led Model, you can improve team cohesion, increase the bottom line and ensure comprehensive care for your patient base. Research suggests that the current referral-based utilisation of Dental therapists is rarely well received or implemented by the Dental team.  Book a call to find out how personalised protocol training can benefit your practice today.

About Cat...

The Modern Therapist was built by Cat Edney, a dental therapist and clinical educator with twenty years in specialist and private practice. Years of working across multidisciplinary teams led to one conclusion: dental therapy works best when the whole team understands how to use it, not when it's treated as an occasional referral.

There are over 7000 registered dental therapists in the UK, and most practices still aren't working with them to anywhere near full scope. The Modern Therapist exists to close that gap from both directions: building confidence in therapists to work to their full scope, and building understanding in practices of what that scope is worth.

Hear from a happy client

Cat opened my eyes to how working with a therapist can be invaluable to my daily practice. It allowed me to focus on treating the more complex aspects of cases whilst increasing revenue.

- Dr Ankeet Shah,
Core Dental Academy

I always knew when I wanted to setup my own practice, dental therapists would play a huge role in the patient experience. However, like most, my understanding and appreciation for the role was limited. I knew I needed education, but I was fully committed to adopting, and championing the skill mix of the dental team.

I wanted to move away from the status quo in Dentistry - a top down, dentist heavy approach to dental care. My research has a common thread. Cat Edney. I knew I needed to speak with her. I’d listened to podcast episodes of hers and followed her on Instagram. 

I made contact and from the get go - Cat was warm and very approachable. We arranged a Zoom call and discussed my vision for Cure Clinics. She was fully supportive - and even better, provided an incredible insight into the future of dentistry - dental therapists. 

Years on, I'm still contacting Cat for advice. My practice is thriving, and it's all down to our dental therapy team, who are at the centre of everything we do well. I wouldn't have it any other way.
