- Dipesh Parmar, a partner at Acorn dental with a clinical focus on advanced aesthetic restorative dentistry and orthodontics
The first issue was released in March 2024 and the subsequent issues will be published quarterly.
Eddie MacKenzie, editorial director of MADM, said, “There has been huge growth in dental aesthetics in recent years. During covid, we had the zoom-boom where lots of patients were on zoom calls and looking at themselves every day so patients were seeing their teeth more often and that drove them to go to the dentist for aesthetic treatments. We’ve also had advances in technology, new materials, and new equipment which has really revolutionised what dentists can do in practice.”
He added, “The first issue is in part a tribute to Lewis Mackenzie, who sadly passed away just before publication. He has been a long-standing contributor and editorial board member of Dental Update, and was a driving force behind Aesthetic Update, so there are a couple of articles from him in this first issue.”
Rob Yates, managing director of MADM, said, “The MADM team are proud to support all UK dentists undertaking aesthetic treatments through Aesthetic Update. This sector of dentistry continues to grow at pace. As patient expectations increase and new techniques and products become available, we will be providing our subscribers and readers with high-level, peer-reviewed evidence and guidance to support their daily practice.”
