Organising your accounts when you’re incorporated

If your practice is incorporated you’ll be required to pay corporation tax at a rate of 19%, amongst things such as business rates and employers’ national insurance. Choosing to be a limited company will also affect the way in which you can pay yourself, as you could choose to subsidise your earnings with dividends.

On top of all that, there’s payroll to contend with each month as well as bookkeeping, which can be time consuming and demanding alongside your other clinical and administrative duties.

However, that doesn’t have to be the case if you choose an experienced accountant to help you. Specialist firm accountants4dentists offers a range of services from bookkeeping and accounts preparation to tax planning, payroll services and more to ease the burden and ensure that you remain compliant.

Combined, the team has nearly 40 years’ experience and takes a hands-on approach to ensure that all clients receive a quality, professional service that is tailored specifically to their needs.

If you’re incorporated and need help with your accounting, call accountants4dentists for advice today.

Easy Does It – HyFlex® EDM NiTi

“The HyFlex® EDM NiTi is an easy file to use, but its flexibility really sets it apart from the rest,” says Jack Duthie, who is keenly interested in the development of advanced restorative dentistry at The Oral Health Clinic in Liverpool.

“We have been using COLTENE products for about a year, and the HyFlex® EDM NiTi for a period of about six months. I heard about it from other dentists who were using it, some of whom spoke highly of its qualities.

“I’ve found that it is particularly good for posterior teeth with curved canals, because of the fact that it is flexible and works with you – you have the ability to pre-curve it, and then can straighten it as necessary as you go into the canal.

“With its ease of use and flexibility, I will definitely continue to use it.”

Stern Weber and MyRay double act

Practice principal Vahid Motahar, recently updated one of his two surgeries in Bayswater Dental Clinic.

“When I purchased the practice back in November 2016, the majority of the equipment had seen better days,” he says. “One surgery in particular was desperate for a makeover, as some of the equipment was about 40 years old!

“In order to achieve a quality outcome, I recruited the help of specialist equipment supplier and practice designer, RPA Dental. The team helped me with every aspect of the process from beginning to end, taking care of everything to ensure my vision became a reality.

“I also purchased a Stern Weber dental unit and MyRay RXDC X-ray unit with HyperSphere technology from RPA Dental, which have completely transformed the surgery. Both are incredibly easy to use, intuitive and facilitate workflow for enhanced treatment outcomes. I’m very happy with the choices that I made – including the decision to use RPA Dental, who provided an incredible service.”

‘The best teaching in anterior alignment orthodontics’

Dr Adnan Aslam from Dental Shades Clinic in Ealing shares his experience of the ClearSmile Brace training course delivered by IAS Academy:

“The training was well run and very informative – the theory behind the appliance was explained in much more detail compared to other GDP orthodontic courses currently available. I think this is a very good thing and it has helped me with regards to case selection.

“I would very strongly recommend this course to other practitioners. It is the best teaching I have received in anterior alignment orthodontics and I’m already working towards the more intensive course with Professor Hobson.”

All training courses by IAS Academy promote careful case selection, correct assessment, accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment. They offer a guided learning pathway for clinicians of all experience levels and are designed to ensure GDPs are competent and confident enough to deliver safe, ethical and effective treatment to all their patients.

Beautiful Smiles, Happy Patients

“A great smile is everything.” says Shivani Sharma, principal dentist at The Evergreen Dental Centre in Reading. She has been using the Enlighten Whitening system since 2010 and here she gives her views:

“Over the years we have seen many whitening cases but as a team we promote the Enlighten Whitening system because it is so easy to use and provides excellent results. From the marketing side, everything runs smoothly and our stock is always sent out in a timely fashion.

“Our patients are very happy with the Enlighten products and many regularly purchase the toothpaste after completing the whitening treatment. They like the way it is easy to maintain the white, but natural looking colour of teeth. And, a lot of patients have recommended the treatment to their friends and family.

“The support that we have received from Enlighten has been very good. It is easy to obtain clinical advice for complex cases and in general, the product offers safe, predictable results.

Goodman Grant comes highly recommended

Having a solicitor with specific knowledge and experience of the dental sector to advise you and handle your legal matters is immensely advantageous. This is the reason why Dr Joseph Ajibade highly recommends Goodman Grant, the lawyers for dentists.

“The solicitors at Goodman Grant were friendly, professional and efficient. They kept me up to date with everything that was happening with my case and I felt confident that it was being handled effectively throughout the entire process.

“Whenever I rang the office, I was put in touch with the person I wanted to speak to right away. It was completely problem-free; the communication was excellent and the advice was easy to understand.

“I think that the whole team at Goodman Grant is first class, and Rebecca Wilding, Nataleigh Adamson and Hewi Ma in particular, provided me with an outstanding level of customer service.

“For all legal matters and services for dentists, I would not hesitate to recommend Goodman Grant.”

Long-lasting brilliance – BRILLIANT EverGlow®
