Debt Collection for Dental Equipment Suppliers

Debt Collection for Dental Equipment Suppliers

The UK’s Dental equipment supplier sector is a multi-billion pound industry. With over 40,000 Dental practitioners operating across the country, the efficient supply of quality dental equipment is crucial to the industry.

Dental equipment suppliers are a key element of the UK’s Dental industry. Ensuring quality dental equipment is provided and installed to maintain services. It is not just dental practices that Dental Supplies are required for.

There are other areas that require prompt delivery of dental equipment. Dental laboratories and private hospitals are other examples of facilities that require dental equipment.

The British Dental Industry Association is the UK’s national trade association that represents and supports the industry. They seek to look after the collective interests of manufacturers and suppliers of dental products, services and technologies.

With the UK having a constantly evolving dental sector, the need for new and progressive equipment is constant. New pioneering practices and tools are commonplace. A high-end practice will always be seeking to get the latest technology to ensure patient satisfaction.

A profitable practice will have the most efficient and labour saving equipment. This is very often not just for ‘for-profit’ purposes but also to satisfy patient demand. Cosmetic dentistry for instance has never been so popular. The world of Instagram has taken expectations and demands to a whole new level.

To meet that public demand, Dental practices are investing in cutting edge equipment to stay competitive in the marketplace.

Dental Equipment suppliers and wholesalers

Equipment supplied by wholesalers can often be on an invoice payment basis. There are hundreds of dental wholesalers and manufacturers in the UK who supply dental practices direct. Goods and services that go unpaid can range from dental chairs to dental uniforms.

Even debt for specialist dental training that has been provided and dental software.

Dentists are often very busy, especially in NHS practices. Very often if a dental practice is not being efficiently managed, invoices for dental equipment supplied can go unpaid.

Anybody that works in the dental industry will know this to be very true.

It is not a problem that is exclusive to Dentists, it is common in other sectors too. There is a whole plethora of ways and means that debt can arise within the dental sector.

The recent pandemic forced most practices to close last year for a short period. This inflicted a big hole in cash flow for most.

Some practices have sought to use this as an excuse to delay or to avoid paying for dental equipment. There could be many reasons why Dental Equipment supplies may not have been paid for.

One of the most frustrating things is leaving messages with the receptionist that never get calls returned. Ignoring requests for overdue payment is not really acceptable in modern times.

Dental practices and dentists expect to be paid on time and so should you. Unpaid Dental fees in all forms can be a strain for a businesses balance sheet.

Once standard credit control measures have been exhausted, working with a Professional Debt Collection Agency is a natural selection for many wholesalers and suppliers.
