How Trump’s New Tariffs Are Impacting Dentistry — And How Concierge Dentistry Is Protecting Patients
President Trump’s recently enacted tariffs on imported goods are reshaping industries across the board — and the dental field is no exception. With many dental tools, restorative materials, and lab-made products sourced from overseas, practices nationwide are seeing the effects in the form of higher costs and longer wait times.
The Impact on Dentistry
The new tariffs — particularly those on goods from China, Mexico, and Canada — are increasing the cost of crucial dental supplies like crowns, implants, imaging systems, and even everyday essentials such as gloves and sterilization products. Major manufacturers have already forecast reduced profits and operational strain due to trade disruptions, and that pressure is starting to trickle down to private practices and patients.
This can lead to delays in care, higher out-of-pocket expenses, and scaled-back services — especially for practices that rely heavily on international supply chains.
How Concierge Dentistry Is Minimizing the Impact
At Concierge Dentistry, we’ve always prioritized personalized care, high-quality results, and a seamless experience for our patients. That’s why we’re taking proactive steps to minimize the impact of these tariffs:
Local Labs & Supply Chains: We partner with trusted, high-quality local dental labs and suppliers right here in Los Angeles. This allows us to avoid the pricing volatility and shipping delays that are now common with overseas imports.
Faster Turnaround, Consistent Quality: Our commitment to local sourcing not only insulates us from tariff-related disruptions — it also means we can offer faster delivery of custom restorations like crowns and veneers without compromising on craftsmanship or precision.
