Meet the Team
DecaDent’s team has the knowledge to advise, install and support the equipment that will provide you with the best solution for your practice.
With over 100 years of combined dental engineering expertise, there really isn’t anything that DecaDent hasn’t had experience with, from suction systems for dental schools and hospitals through to the latest in digital dentistry.
MILES TUCKER
MANAGING DIRECTOR
A long and successful history in the dental industry, with companies such as KaVo, Sirona and A-dec, has perfectly schooled DecaDent’s MD and founder to lead one of the UK’s best service-oriented suppliers that dental professionals could wish for.
Rather than take over an existing outfit, Miles realised that to set the bar higher he needed to start with first principles and build a brand new company from the ground up. Now over a decade on, this team continues to go from strength to strength.
ALEX PARTT
SALES
After school and a brief stint at University Alex was drawn to North America following summers teaching water skiing. He stayed for three years pursuing a career in marketing; ever active and before his return to the UK Alex spent a season as a Ski instructor in Lake Louise.
Upon returning to the UK, a chance introduction put Miles in contact with Alex and he was brought into the DecaDent fold 3 years ago. Referred to by Tony as Miles’ Protégé Alex has been building on the fantastic DecaDent brand that Miles has created. At the end of 2020 Alex bought in to DecaDent and is now a Co-owner.

TONY CLARK
TECHNICAL ENGINEER
Tony’s extensive experience and technical expertise led him to join DecaDent in 2010, becoming the company’s very first engineer.

He takes pride in being the go-to problem solver for dental practices, always ready to offer equipment advice—even when he’s offsite. Outside of work, Tony loves spending time with his dachshunds, visiting aviation and military events and museums, and a new passion of travel enjoying cruises with his wife, Lynne.
His enormous success in these roles led to him being whisked away by DecaDent in 2010 where he is now reveling in his core role within the industry-leading team that Miles Tucker has put together.
With a list of qualifications and completed training courses as long as his arm, Tony is, without doubt, just the kind of guy that you want in your surgery when the going gets tough … or even if you just need a fuse changed!
Tony is a keen caravaner, Euro Disney platinum card holder and the dental industry’s answer to Wikipedia.
