A reliable supplier is essential for the equipment, consumables and other supply orders that are fundamental to running a dental practice, says the BDIA.
Buying dental supplies, equipment and consumables for your business to serve your patients daily requires you to make regular purchases to keep your business running smoothly. Having a reliable and trusted supplier you can partner with is essential to help your business to develop and grow.
In the current climate, as the costs of running a dental business increase, it can be tempting to look for deals and cheaper materials and equipment to save money when it comes to purchasing dental supplies.
However, saving money is not the only consideration when looking for a supplier. Making a poor decision can have consequences for your business, your patients and potentially for your GDC registration. Knowing that you are buying from a reputable supplier provides peace of mind.
You do not have to look far to find a dental products and equipment supplier in the UK or overseas. But the questions you need to ask yourself before you do so are as follows:
- What kind of company am I buying products from?
- Are the products and materials they sell safe?
- Do their products have the appropriate certification?
- Are these products genuine and high-quality products? Or are they counterfeit that use substandard materials that will pose a risk to my health, my patients’ health and my business’s future?
- What kind of ongoing support and aftercare will I receive from the company?
- Is the supplier I am choosing reputable and reliable?
If these questions cannot be answered without absolute certainty and transparency, then you have to ask yourself if it is worth the potential risk for a percentage saving.
