Qudent

Qudent: an online dental store for UK professionals

Qudent operates an online shop aimed at dental professionals, presenting itself as a supplier of dental equipment, instruments and consumables. The company states that it has been providing service and products to dentists since 1961, a claim it makes in its own presentation on the site.

The catalogue is organised into broad families rather than a single product line, covering both small instruments and larger surgery equipment. Orders above £70 qualify for free delivery, subject to the terms and conditions published by the store.

Handpieces and powered instruments

A significant part of the catalogue is dedicated to handpieces and the motors that drive them. The store lists high-speed, slow-speed, straight and surgical or implant handpieces, alongside air polisher handpieces, speed increasing and reducing handpieces and a 4:1 contra angle IPR handpiece kit. Air motors, couplings in two, four and six-hole formats, and handpiece cleaners complete this area.

Endodontics, restorative materials and impression products

For endodontic work, Qudent stocks endodontic motors, apex locators and pulp testers, endo files and K-files, gutta percha and paper points, and an implant screwdriver. The restorative section includes dental composites, dental cements, bond and etching gel, and 3:1 syringes. Impression materials and impression trays with dispensers are also part of the range, together with alginate mixers and their accessories.

Scaling, polishing and surgery equipment

The scaling and polishing category brings together piezo ultrasonic scalers, air polishing and air abrasion or miniblaster units, prophy motors and built-in kits. Scaler tips are grouped by compatibility, with lines for DTE-compatible, EMS/Woodpecker-compatible and Kavo and Sirona-compatible handpieces, plus ultrasurgery, ultrasonic and restorative tips, a torque wrench key and a scaler tips stand.

Larger equipment includes autoclaves, compressors, amalgam separation units, reverse osmosis systems, ultrasonic cleaners, thermo sealing units, mobile suctions and suction accessories. Surgery lighting and operating lights appear alongside curing and bleaching lights, with their respective accessories.

Imaging, decontamination and practice furniture

Under digital imaging the store lists sensors, a phosphor plate system, intraoral X-ray units and intraoral cameras. The decontamination area covers taps, basins and sinks. For the surgery itself, the catalogue includes dental carts and delivery units, mobile cabinets, mobile trolleys, wall cabinets and dispensers, monitors with arms and brackets, dental stools and spare parts.

Consumables and protective equipment

Everyday consumables include masks, gloves, sterilisation pouches, bib holders and dispensers, chair sleeves, cotton rolls, disposable cups, mouth mirrors, mixing pads, retainer boxes, a dental water flosser, a teeth whitening kit and X-ray barrier cards and envelopes. Hygiene paper is listed separately.

Brands, offers and purchasing support

The store highlights NSK and Acteon among the brands featured in its navigation, and maintains sections for new arrivals and best sellers. At the time of writing this profile, the site advertised a Dentistry Show offer of 5% off sitewide until 17 October, and individual new-arrival items were shown with discounts ranging from roughly 19% to 38%, with prices displayed both including and excluding VAT. Some of those items were marked as sold out.

Purchasing support is offered by telephone on 01903 211737 or through online chat. The site also invites customers to share their experience on Trustpilot and operates a rewards scheme for account holders.
