Digital technology is transforming how dentistry will be delivered in the future. Adopting digital opportunities will enable staff and patients to confidently navigate this new digital environment. We need to consider how dentistry is identifying and developing digital talent, building digital competence and future-proofing our teams. It also implies there must be a fundamental culture change in the way the profession collaborates with patients, clinicians, service commissioners and policymakers to deliver a sustainable digital transformation.
