BDIA Dental Showcase 2024 is set to be the best Showcase to date, with new features, more exhibitors than ever before and new collaborations with prestigious organisations in dentistry. Having announced a new partnership with the event for 2023, the British Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry (BACD) will be officially hosting the BACD Aesthetic Theatre at the next edition of the show in March 2024.

As such, the programme will be carefully tailored to cover up-to-the-minute clinical advice, research and technologies for clinicians with an interest in ethical cosmetic dentistry. Past President of the BACD, Chris McConnell, comments:

“We’re looking forward to providing a range of speakers from the BACD who will cover the latest innovations, treatments and ideas in cosmetic dentistry and facial aesthetics. Attendees will learn how they can implement ethical cosmetic dentistry into their daily practice to help maximise patient options and increase clinical scope. Sessions will also explore how practitioners can upskill in order to achieve exceptional aesthetic outcomes for their patients, discussing various options for career progression.

“The BACD supports professionals wanting to get into the cosmetic dental field with robust pathways that aid learning and development. It’s exciting to be able to demonstrate these pathways, as well as the quality of dentistry our members deliver every day, at an event like BDIA Dental Showcase. We were involved with the programme in 2023, but we’re thrilled to have formalised the partnership for 2024.”

Commenting further on the BACD’s educational pathway, Neil Gerrard – Chair of the Credentialling Committee for BACD Accreditation – explains:

“The BACD is looking forward to hosting a theatre at BDIA Showcase, where we will demonstrate the quality of ethical cosmetic dentistry that can be delivered today. This is only achievable with comprehensive training and education, which is why the BACD supports the entire skill development pathway for dentists with an interest in the field. Our Accreditation programme provides a structured approach to education and recognises those who have accomplished a high standard of clinical ability. Accreditation is achieved upon submitting a series of cases for peer critique, making it an excellent way to expand skill sets, promote professional growth and really push dentists to the next level of cosmetic – and general – dentistry. BDIA Showcase will provide an excellent opportunity to help colleagues get started on their own journeys into ethical cosmetic dentistry.”

The BACD Aesthetic Theatre will present an array of speakers who are BACD members and are known for their passion in ethical cosmetic dentistry, ensuring a relevant and interesting programme. These include the current BACD President, Luke Hutchings, who says:

“I am a firm believer that all dentistry has an aspect of cosmetic dentistry – it doesn’t matter what treatment your patient seeks, they will want an aesthetic outcome. That’s why the educational content the BACD offers is so valuable for all dentists, especially general dental practitioners, at BDIA Dental Showcase.

“I would also encourage colleagues to come and meet the BACD team here as it’s the first opportunity in the year to do so at a major event and find out more about the community that it creates. Dentistry is becoming trickier, mental stresses and strains are sadly taking their toll on more and more people. Having a network of support behind you, the ability to pick up the phone and speak to someone who has faced similar difficulties, is invaluable. With the BACD, you don’t feel alone and this is crucial for dentists in the profession today.”

Other speakers will be Chris Leech, Jasmine Piran and Lydia Sharples, each presenting on different clinical topics and offering a wealth of practical guidance and personal insights. There will also be organisation-led sessions to create a truly comprehensive programme. Aligning with the values of BDIA Showcase, this Theatre is sure to give dental professionals plenty to take away and implement in practice for the benefit of them and their patients.

David Hussey, Event Director for BDIA Dental Showcase, adds:

“We are thrilled to have formalised this partnership with the BACD, having very successfully worked with them in the past. The BACD Aesthetic Theatre 2024 will ensure an exceptional line-up of speakers discussing topics that are most relevant to the profession, facilitating the continued growth of the discipline. BDIA Dental Showcase is honoured to have such strong relationships with a number of professional academies and associations, international speakers and educational institutions. Like our partnership with the BACD, these all enable us to meet the evolving needs of the profession every single year.”

In addition to the dynamic programme, BDIA Dental Showcase 2024 remains the largest dental exhibition in UK dentistry, with hundreds of trade organisations in attendance.
