British Bite-mark
The DLA created the Bite Mark in response to growing concern that more and more dentists have begun using dental laboratories in the Far East to save money. As these laboratories are not inspected by UK regulators nor are the dental appliances manufactured by registered Dental Technicians, the worry is that many patients could receive sub-standard dentures or implants. Richard Daniels, Chief Executive of the Dental Laboratories Association, explained: ‘In these turbulent economic times it is understandable that dental practices are looking to cut costs; however, by sourcing crowns, bridges, dentures and veneers from dental laboratories in the Far East just to save money isn’t acceptable without making the patient aware. I believe that by introducing the British Bite Mark, we are helping patients instantly recognise where their appliance has been manufactured and that it complies with UK regulations, with the ultimate aim of ensuring patients receive a transparent service from their dentist.’
