With PFM Dental's practice purchase seminar on Thursday 18 September in Warrington fully booked well in advance, it was obvious the associate dentist participants were very interested in owning their own practice.

Organised in association with RBS (healthcare banking), Goodman Grant (dental solicitors), PFM Townends (dental accountants) and plan providers, Patient Plan Direct, a wide range of topics were covered in presentations and Q&A sessions. These included the current market, applying for competitive finance, legal and accountancy considerations and the benefits of a capitation scheme.

Jon Drysdale, an independent financial adviser at PFM Dental says: "We have run this course for four years and the Warrington event saw the highest attendance yet, with nearly 40 associates. Concerns over pay and job security, combined with the desire to build a valuable business asset, means more associates would like to buy a practice.”

The next practice purchase seminar for associate dentists is on 20^th November in Watford (evening). Places can be booked by emailing This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or calling PFM Dental on 0845 241 4480.

Do you want to extend the range of services you offer, attract new patients and generate additional income from your existing patients? If the answer is ‘yes’, we invite you to visit stand P10 at the BDIA Showcase to find out why Cfast is the solution!

Cfast is a fast, minimally-invasive and discreet orthodontics system that straightens the front six teeth in about six months.

With devices priced at only £199, Cfast makes a great smile affordable for more patients, as well as generating revenue for the practice.

Cfast is kinder to the occlusion than some other systems, and therefore more appropriate for general dental practice, while its unique retention protocol allows for predictable long-term results.

Cfast provides affordable courses, as well as UK specialist back-up and experienced one-to-one guidance and advice from experts in cosmetically-focused orthodontics.
