These days, almost all the shopping is done online by moat people including various professionals. The reasons for doing the same are quite similar, notwithstanding the kind of the product or the people that are buying the same.

There are distinct advantages to the kind of variety and comparatives that are available online as well as considerable cost advantages. Within the medical community too, more and more medical professionals now choose to buy products online since these are easily available, provide much more choice of products and brands as well as providing better customer services and post sales services etc.

Similarly, the dental practitioners and dental service providers also choose to buy dental products online in India these days. Many dental suppliers in India also have their own web shops and have listings of a comprehensive range of Indian and imported products that can be delivered across the country.

On one hand, it has given the dental professionals better choice as well as the increasing competition has also helped in moderating the prices of the dental products. Eventually, it has meant better choices for the end customer and the patients have been the eventual beneficiaries.

Although most big cities in India has special markets and suppliers that deal exclusively in medical supplies, it has always been a practice for these suppliers to try and monopolize the market by giving limited choices to the medical practitioners but the emergence of the online dental dealers has changed this ecosystem for good.

In bigger cities such as Mumbai and Delhi etc, many offline traditional businesses have chosen to go the online way after the successes of the online mode of business in the recent years.

In fact, ask any good dental dealer in Delhi, they will vouch for the fact that the more and more dental professionals and caregivers now choose to buy dental products online in India and therefore they have also geared up for the challenge by providing online shopping portals themselves and providing free deliveries as well. Whether it is the regular dental products such as endo consumables, oral care products, impressions or specialty products such as dental amalgam, pits and fissures etc, chances are that there would be many online sites offering these products to the retail consumer and at prices that will be markedly lower than the open market.

It is, therefore, a clear trend that is being seen from the dental practitioners as well as dentists in general that more and more of them are now considering buying dental supplies, consumables as well as specialty products from the various online portals than buying those in the open market. The dental suppliers in India have also started to sell to list and sell their products either from the sites of aggregators or have their own websites selling the various dental products like examination gloves online, tongue cleaners, self ligating brackets, dental sterilization pouch and many disposable dental supplies.

Occasionally, many dental suppliers in India have the functionalities of both – listing their products on third-party web portals as well as developing their own e-commerce ventures. This has helped bring more competition, quality and affordability into the market off dental supplies in general.
