Practice Cover Joins the BDIA

Nov 25, 2025

The Association for the UK Dental Industry

We’re pleased to share that Practice Cover is now a member of the British Dental Industry Association (BDIA). It’s a straightforward move with a simple purpose, to understand the dentistry sector better and support it more effectively.

Why we joined

Dentistry changes quickly. Products, regulations, supply chains and technology are constantly evolving. These shifts affect how practices run, sometimes more than people realise.

By joining the BDIA, we’re staying closer to the people who shape the industry. It gives us direct insight into what’s happening behind the scenes, from manufacturers to suppliers, and helps us keep pace with what matters to modern dental teams.

What this means for your practice

This membership isn’t just symbolic. It directly strengthens the insurance protection we provide. It ensures your cover is built around the real operational pressures dental practices face:

  • More precise, practice specific policy wording that reflects the way dental workflows actually operate
  • Enhanced understanding of risks affecting clinical time, staffing levels and essential equipment
  • Support informed by current industry developments, so your cover keeps pace with emerging challenges in dentistry

In short, it keeps us fully aligned with the realities of modern dental practice, enabling us to provide insurance that genuinely protects you when it matters.

A closer connection to the profession

Dental professionals often tell us how misunderstood the pace and pressure of their work can be. Being part of the BDIA allows us to hear those challenges directly and respond with cover that feels genuinely relevant.

We’re here to listen, not just observe.

What happens next

You’ll see the benefit over time with sharper guidance, updated cover options and a more informed approach to supporting practices. Nothing dramatic, just improvements that come from being better connected to the sector we serve.

If you’d like to know how this shift could help your practice, feel free to ask. Sometimes a quick conversation is all it takes.
