The state of the dental market was discussed at the DentalForum UK 2018 conference held in Marbella on 21 and 22 June 2018 with Dental Elite hosting an Ignite session on how dental groups are evolving and what will be the best route to market moving forward.

Presented by Co-Founder Luke Moore and the Director of Recruitment Services, Luke Arnold, the insightful session explored both the current difficulties surrounding recruitment, and how this might impair the growth of dental businesses in the future.

Moore said: 'It is no secret that practices are finding it increasingly more difficult to recruit. What we're interested in is how this might have an impact on goodwill values, and in turn a principal's ability to grow and sell their dental practice.'

Similar concerns were raised by a number of other delegates over the course of the two-day event, with recruitment and business growth discussed at length by a range of professionals.

'Above all else, this shows that everyone has been affected by the current state of the market not just independents,' added Moore. 'If anything, larger dental groups and corporates are feeling the affect more than smaller groups and individual practices.'
