Dental expansion

* GAP IN THE MARKET: NI Dental Care dentists David Mann and Anne Higgins celebrate the expansion of the Carryduff-based practice to Belfast's Lisburn Road with Claire Cooper, senior business manager at Danske Bank. In addition to the jobs created, the firm said it will address a gap in the market by offering NHS treatments, as well as private treatments. The new practice will form a subsidiary of Church Road Dental Care, founded by David Mann and Anne Higgins in 2009. According to Mr Mann, the expansion of the business, supported by Danske Bank, has been driven by a growing demand for the practice's services in Carryduff over the past four years
