#6.Emmet O’Neill

The Smiles clinics are open seven days a week, 8am to 8pm on weekdays, allowing people to come after work. Pricing is very transparent and Smiles Dental recently launched a cloud computing platform which allows patients to log in and view their x-rays and charts, free of charge.

Emmet O’Neill is technically not a dentist. But still he is related to the world of dentistry as he is owner of one of the biggest dental chains in the world.

Net Worth : 90 million $

Located and based in Ireland O Neill got his start in the dental world in 2005 when he walked into his orthodontist’s office and requested to have his teeth whitened. The orthodontist told him that he wasn’t able to provide such a service, and O Neill saw a niche market that he could enter. Tooth whitening services were rare in the UK at the time, so with an entrepreneurial spirit, O Neill hightailed it to the U.S. and proceeded to learn everything he could about the procedure.

He then opened his first clinic, Smiles Dental, in Ireland, which has blossomed into a chain of 17 clinics. Recently, O Neill also acquired James Hull Associates, along with its 50 practices. The solid reputation that JHA has dentally will certainly be a boon to his expanding brand.

Just have a look at the pictures of this chain of clinic. Five star establishments with patient friendly pricing
