BDIA Dental Showcase is delighted to announce a new partnership with the British Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (BACD) for the highly-anticipated 2024 event.

The Aesthetic Theatre was a massive success when launched in 2023. We have partnered with the BACD to present the Theatre in 2024 in order to continue meeting the growing demand from the profession for internationally renowned lecturers in the field. It will provide a comprehensive programme that explores the challenges, technological innovations and clinical techniques that are driving the discipline right now.

How cosmetic dentistry can give patients the smile they’ve always wanted.

Whether social media is discussing if pop chameleon Miley Cyrus has recently undergone gum contouring (#gumgone) or the fact that a former Boyzone pop star has got his own TV show exploring the huge popularity of veneers (#keithsteeth), there can be no doubt that the demand for aesthetic dental treatments is on the up and up.

Long gone is the simple view of a drill and fill dental practice. These days patients are seeking far more from their dental professional. Cosmetic bonding, dental implants, smile makeovers, gum contouring, crowns, whitening and veneers – in this Instagram-ready world patients are exploring new ways to ensure they look the very best they can.

As is often the case, dentistry today is in a state of change. There are several challenges that need to be overcome if the profession is to effectively deliver care to patients in the immediate and long-term future.

Some of the concerns centre on NHS dentistry and the impact that the current framework is having on the profession’s ability to care for patients. Martin Woodrow, Chief Executive of the British Dental Association (BDA), considers some of the major associated issues being faced in the UK right now:

“The overwhelming challenge for NHS dentistry is being able to attract and retain a workforce. This applies across the UK. NHS dentistry is not currently an attractive place to work for many professionals. While some changes have been made to the contractual frameworks, in England those have not been enough to stem the flow of professionals seeking a better balance to their working lives. The problem has been there since 2006, but the pandemic accelerated the change we are seeing.”

BDIA Dental Showcase is the longest standing dental exhibition in the UK, bringing the profession and industry together every year. The 2024 event will once again host hundreds of dental manufacturers, suppliers and providers, each keen to demonstrate their latest innovations and connect with their customers. 

Dr Len D‘Cruz is the Head of BDA Indemnity, as well as an experienced clinician who runs a 7-surgery practice in London. He will be among the highly anticipated speakers in the Business Theatre at next year’s BDIA Dental Showcase, sharing his extensive expertise regarding principals’ legal responsibilities to their patients. Len shares what delegates can expect:

BDIA Dental Showcase 2024 will be the event of the year, once again bringing hundreds of leading dental suppliers and providers to London. As the biggest dental exhibition in the UK, it offers unparalleled opportunities to connect with the industry and discover the very latest innovations on the market.

 

“The BDIA Dental Showcase is the perfect place to meet old friends and make new ones. You can’t beat face-to-face customer contact and Showcase is the best annual event in the UK for COLTENE to increase brand awareness and present the latest product innovations and treatment concepts to the dental community.”
