About us
We’re Henry Schein One. An international tech company with a mission to build SaaS products that make people smile. We’re innovators, relentless in our pursuit for customer success and constantly pushing the boundaries of the possible.
Our journey is rooted in innovation and propelled by growth. From launching one of the world’s first dental practice software platforms, to being acquired by the Henry Schein Group (NASDAQ), and recently acquiring the cloud start-up Dentally in 2020. Today we’re the global dominator in our space, blending the financial resource of our 2,000-person strong group company with the pace, innovation and scale-up culture that is Henry Schein One UK. Our talent-dense UK team of 250 serves customers across the UK, APAC and Canada and we’re growing.
Culture matters deeply to us.
We’ve been recognised as Sunday Times Best Places To Work employer for both 2023 and 2024 and we’re super proud of who we are. As an inclusive and forward-thinking company, we are committed to creating an environment that values diversity and flexibility and promotes equal opportunities for all individuals.
What we do
We solve real-world problems that affect millions of people around the world, every day.
Our vision is to ensure everyone has access to a dentist, and every dentist and their practice has access to the right software to provide great dental care.
From A.I tools that provide early diagnosis and treatment of tooth decay and potentially life threatening conditions such as mouth cancer, virtual and augmented reality tools that help dentists train and educate their patients, to cloud-based software that makes it easier for dental professionals to manage their practices and patients, and tele-dentistry solutions that now make it possible to provide dental care to people in remote areas.
Day by day we are shaping the future of the dental industry and proud to have a positive impact on society.
How we work
We are problem solvers, not ticket takers. We're not about following strict processes or micromanaging. We operate on trust and focus on making a real impact. Our teams are mission focused and presented with problems, supported by context and research to help them deliver valuable solutions.
We are a continuous delivery focused group, shipping changes to production 100+ times per month. We plan our commitments on a quarterly basis and work in 6-week cycles that enable us to solve real problems for our users and their patients, while balancing technical debt, bugs, innovation and team growth. Our teams are directly responsible for making decisions that will improve oral care services for thousands of dental professionals and their patients, working closely with customers, product and design.
Importantly, we keep things simple. We build software that delivers value for our users whether they are our customers, employees or other stakeholders. We make small changes that deliver business value, we test these with our users and iterate on the feedback. We resist the urge to over-engineer our solutions. We let our users and the data tell us where we go next.
We believe in the following engineering values;
- We think big, but deliver small
- We win as a team
- We innovate through product enhancement, not chasing technological trends
- We harness the power of tech debt with intentionality
- Thoughtful coding is our guiding principle
- Quality is a collective responsibility
- We are all managers of one
