Of this, private sector dentistry accounted for £4.6 billion, while NHS spend amounted to £3.7 billion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis new edition of the Dentistry UK Market Report evaluates the significant impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the fragmented market. During 2020, much routine treatment ground to a halt, and when combined with the restrictions on aerosol generating procedures, only very urgent and emergency treatments could take place.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUpdated figures show that demand decreased perhaps less than might have been expected to a level of 56% in 2020. By October 2021, 47% of patients had returned to a dental practice after the nationwide lockdown ease. However, half had not done so yet, meaning that they had not seen a dental professional at all for 18 months or more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLaingBuisson predicts the market to continue an upward growth by an average of 2-3% in nominal terms in the next three years. This will mainly come from more spending on private dentistry, though much depends on the strength of the UK economy, and spending on NHS dentistry is expected to fall in real terms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eChallenges for the dentistry market are still focused on recruitment and retention. Providers continue to report challenges in the recruitment of dentists and dental care professionals. Some providers have reported labour shortages, resulting in the undershooting of NHS contracted activity, and an increased reliance on locum dentists. The shortage is affecting all roles, not just dentists. This comes at a time when a new NHS dentistry contract model, which aims to improve prevention and focus on patient outcomes, continues to be tested after many years of planning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA positive outcome from the latest analysis showed that consolidation strengthened the market with several equity investments and transactions. This includes the recently announced merger of Portman Healthcare and Dentex.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Life Science","offers":[{"title":"November, 2022 \/ - \/ MCW16238811","offer_id":47653793759538,"sku":null,"price":4980.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.hardmanwell.com\/products\/dentistry-market-report-6th-edition","provider":"HARDMAN AND WELL MANAGEMENT CONSULTANCIES L.L.C","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
