Dentistry Unmasked Podcast with Mike Hesketh - Part 01 - September 2023

Mike Hesketh qualified from Leeds in 2004. Upon qualification, he joined the Armed Forces and served in Afghanistan as a royal marine.

As dentists, we would imagine we would not actually serve on the front line but Mike explains how this is not actually the case... being medically trained means you are indeed in the thick of the action, treating gunshot wounds among other horrific injuries. 

While this was indeed harrowing, this built his character and upon leaving the Marines he was able to apply all the skills he’d acquired and applied to the business world. 

Mike and his wife Lara took over Exeter Dental Centre - a small private practice - and within 3 years had grown a business consistently turning over more the £3 million a year!

Today, Mike and Lara have a new project- Dartmoor Dental, which is in its infancy, but already close to turning over similar figures to Exeter Dental Centre.

They also run Hesketh Healthcare, a consultancy that educates is in how to build our dream business.
