Kent Express explains how dental practices can increase their revenue and take advantage of the recent boom in teeth whitening.
It’s no secret that teeth whitening is big business. Between 2020 and 2026 the global teeth whitening market is expected to grow by over 45% in revenue, according to a recent report from Aritzon.
Whitening remains the UK’s most popular dental cosmetic procedure. Data from Google shows a big jump in the amount of people searching for terms such as ‘white smile’ in 2021 compared to 2019.
This rise in demand and predicted growth presents dental practices with an opportunity, Practices can increase revenue and deter people from buying unsafe whitening kits online.
