Dental practices in Wales are facing significant uncertainty and operational pressures following the recent changes to NHS dental regulations and contracts. In particular, many practices were given very limited time to review the details of the new General Dental Services (GDS) contract framework before key deadlines — a situation that dental leaders have described as “either callousness or incompetence.”
These reforms are some of the most extensive changes to NHS dentistry in Wales in decades, and they understandably have practices evaluating how they will deliver care, manage finances, and plan for the future.
As a trusted supplier, we recognise the challenges this transition period presents. We’re committed to doing everything we can to support practices through it — whether that’s helping you adapt your systems, offering tailored guidance on workflow changes, or sharing best practices that help maintain continuity of patient care.
Our goal is to help make the transition as smooth as possible so you can focus on what matters most: delivering high-quality dental care.
