The challenge

Many practices see finance as an administrative process. Cannon Street Dental sees it differently. For Graham and Jas, every part of the patient journey matters. From the first enquiry through to treatment planning, financing and treatment delivery, each step must meet the same standard of excellence.

That philosophy has helped transform Cannon Street Dental from a four-surgery practice into an eight-surgery business and one of the leading Invisalign providers in Europe. Between them, Graham and Jas have now treated more than 10,000 Invisalign patients. 

Their reputation for treatment planning is recognised throughout the industry. Patients travel significant distances to receive care. And competitors have spent years trying to replicate their approach. The challenge was simple.

How do you ensure that the operational side of the business matches the quality of the clinical side?

A digital-first patient experience

Long before digital dentistry became fashionable, Cannon Street Dental was investing heavily in digital workflows. Treatment plans were supported by personalised Loom videos. Patients received detailed explanations before making decisions.

The practice built systems designed to create trust and clarity throughout the patient journey. The result has been extraordinary levels of patient engagement. Case acceptance rates regularly approach 90%. Patient satisfaction remains exceptionally high.

The business has grown largely through reputation rather than heavy marketing investment. For Graham and Jas, this was never about technology for its own sake. Technology was simply a way to improve communication and help patients make confident decisions.

Finance as part of treatment acceptance

As specialist treatment volumes increased, affordability became an increasingly important part of the patient journey. Patients needed options. Some qualified for mainstream lending. Others required more flexible pathways.

The practice needed a solution capable of supporting all of them without introducing unnecessary friction. Tabeo became part of that workflow. Today Cannon Street Dental uses our Prime, Near Prime and In-House Finance products to maximise affordability and approval rates across a wide range of patient circumstances.

The objective is straightforward. Ensure that treatment decisions are driven by clinical suitability rather than financial barriers. For a practice treating thousands of specialist cases each year, that matters enormously.

Supporting a high-performance operation

One of the defining characteristics of Cannon Street Dental is operational discipline. The business has invested heavily in treatment coordination, patient communications and workflow management. A dedicated treatment coordination function helps guide patients through the process and ensures consistency across the practice.

Even without deep PMS integration, the finance workflow fits naturally into the broader operating model. The platform is quick to use, easy for teams to understand and aligned with the digital experience the practice wants to provide. 

In a business processing large volumes of specialist treatments, reliability is not a preference, it is a requirement. Small inefficiencies, inconsistencies, or delays may be invisible in isolation but quickly become meaningful when repeated hundreds or thousands of times. The finance platform therefore needs to work consistently, every single day.

A partnership built over time

The relationship between Cannon Street Dental and Tabeo stretches back many years. Over that period, the practice has remained one of Tabeo's most demanding and constructive customers. High specialist treatment volumes naturally create more operational complexity. Refunds need to be processed. Cases need to be adjusted. Questions need to be answered quickly. Support standards matter. The team has never been shy about providing feedback. Nor should they be.

Practices that hold themselves to exceptionally high standards expect the same from their partners. For Tabeo, that feedback has always been valuable. When some of the most operationally sophisticated practices in dentistry tell you how to improve, you listen.

The outcome

Today Cannon Street Dental continues to combine clinical excellence with operational excellence across an expanding business. The practice has grown from four surgeries to eight, built one of Europe's most respected Invisalign providers and created a patient experience that consistently delivers exceptional outcomes.

Finance is only one part of that story. But it is an important one. By providing patients with fast, flexible and reliable affordability options, Tabeo helps ensure that operational processes support rather than hinder the clinical journey.

For Graham and Jas, excellence is not confined to the surgery. It extends to every interaction a patient has with the practice. For Tabeo, being trusted by a team with such exacting standards is one of the strongest endorsements possible.
