FMC’s Dentistry Practice Services announces new partnership with Henry Schein One to enhance seamless practice operations across UK dentistry 

Dentistry Practice Services, part of FMC, have announced a new partnership with Henry Schein One, the global leader in dental technology including Dentally and Software of Excellence (EXACT), marking a significant step forward in reducing operational fragmentation for dental practices across the UK. 

The partnership establishes a foundation for deeper connectivity between Dentistry Practice Services’ growing suite of practice-support tools and the two most widely used practice management platforms in UK dentistry. This agreement enables both organisations to collaborate on delivering more seamless workflows for practice teams. 

A shared vision to reduce fragmentation across dental practices 

Stakeholders on both sides highlighted the same theme: complexity. Practice teams are burdened by separate logins, isolated data and manual tasks that interrupt patient care. The need for fewer, more interconnected systems that add value to clinicians and administrators alike is clear. 

As Craig Welling, FMC’s CEO, noted, practice teams increasingly want a simpler, more connected way to run their businesses, without relying on multiple disconnected systems. 

This partnership represents an important step towards that vision by enabling Dentistry Practice Services’ products to integrate directly with Dentally and EXACT. While it does not yet complete the full ecosystem the companies aspire to build, it establishes the technical and collaborative framework required for future development. 

Immediate benefits for practices 

The upcoming integration for Dentistry Consent will allow Dentally and EXACT users to streamline patient workflows by automatically populating patient details directly from their PMS, reducing manual admin and saving valuable time. 

The integration roadmap also includes future connectivity with Dentistry Marketing (EXACT Booking Calendar), which is already in development and will further strengthen day-to-day operational efficiency for practices. 

A foundation for future innovation 

This partnership is strategically important not only for what it delivers now, but for what it enables next. With access to the UK’s largest PMS base, Dentistry Practice Services can begin to unlock future capabilities that were not previously possible. 

While neither organisation will comment publicly on unreleased product developments, both have affirmed a shared long-term ambition: to make the operational side of dentistry more seamless, more integrated, and less burdensome for clinicians and practice teams. 

Rick Gay, Senior Director of Revenue, Henry Schein One said, ‘Dental practices work best when the technology they rely on works together seamlessly. This partnership is an important step toward creating a more integrated ecosystem around Dentally and EXACT. It brings key operational tools closer to practices’ core practice management system, reducing manual processes whilst supporting more connected workflows. This helps streamline operations and deliver a better experience for both teams and patients.’ 

Leading a team of experienced dental healthcare specialists, FMC brings a deep understanding of the operational challenges facing practices across the UK. This perspective, shaped by close collaboration with clinicians and practice teams, underpins a shared vision for a more connected and efficient future. 

Craig Welling, CEO, FMC said, ‘Dentists have been asking for a simpler, more connected way to run their businesses. This partnership brings us closer to that reality by reducing fragmentation and enabling systems to work together more effectively. By partnering with the most widely used PMS platforms in the UK, FMC is taking a major step toward a future in which the operational side of dentistry is more joined-up, efficient, and easier to manage for practice teams.’
