Bringing your dental products to the UK
Market understanding, the right partners and the right clinicians. We help dental manufacturers and suppliers enter the UK market with a plan.
Why a plan matters
The UK dental market is large, mature and well regulated. Dentists here choose products they have tried and trust, and they buy through practices, groups and distributors. A good launch brings your product to the right people, with the right approvals, at the right time.
How we help
Understanding the market
Who buys and how: independent practices, dental groups, distributors, and the mix of NHS and private dentistry. We help you see where your product fits.
The regulatory route
Placing a dental product on the Great Britain market has its own steps. Devices must be registered with the MHRA, and a manufacturer based outside the UK needs a UK Responsible Person to do this. You also choose between the UKCA and CE marking routes. The rules and deadlines change, so we explain where you stand and introduce regulatory specialists.
Partners and distribution
We help you identify and approach distributors and partners, and plan the channel that suits your product and your budget.
Clinicians who try and recommend
We bring your product to dentists through hands-on courses, including cadaveric courses under your own name, so that clinicians use it before they choose it.
Launch and marketing
A launch plan for the UK: positioning, events, education and digital activity, with a clear way to measure results.
A presence in London
We are based in London and work between London and Istanbul. We can host meetings, courses and events for your team and your customers.
Education is the strongest introduction
Since 2011 we have run cadaveric courses with leading implant companies. Many of them brought the dentists who use their brands to our courses, as a strong investment in the standing of their own brand. The same approach works for a company that is new to the UK. See some of our past cadaveric courses, or read about cadaveric courses delivered under your name.
A note on advice. Knightsbridge Academy is an education and consultancy company. We are not a law firm and we do not give regulated legal, tax or immigration advice. We explain the route, plan the steps and coordinate the work, and where you need a solicitor, accountant or regulated adviser we introduce trusted professionals.
