The new provider currently runs an NHS dental practice in Peel, and offers orthodontic services in Douglas.
It's clinical director, Dr Andre Vogelzang, says Regent 'will retain the vast majority of appointments already booked with Ravat and Ray, and is excited to expand it's services to the Douglas area'.
