Why pay over the odds on big-name brands when you can get near-identical quality products at a lower price? Switching to Kent Express own brands for your everyday essentials can provide your practice with serious yearly savings that in today’s financial climate can provide a major boost.
Why Do People Love Kent Express Own Brands?
Over 80% of our customers currently buy and trust our own brands. In total, over 2 million own brand products have been purchased since the beginning of 2021 by over 4,000 dental professionals across the UK and Ireland.
Part of this popularity is owed to the fact that these products are completely risk-free courtesy of the 100% money-back guarantee that comes with every single own brand product. So if for whatever reason a product isn’t to your liking, all you need to do is send it back to us for a full refund – no questions asked.
Here is a checklist of some of our best-selling and most popular DEHP and Cybertech own brand items.
DEHP Recycled Hand Towels
Dental practices get through a lot of paper towels - this won’t change anytime soon. What can change is how much you spend on towels and the environmental impact they have.
Switching to DEHP recycled hand towels can both help save your practice money and lower your carbon footprint. Our two most popular hand towel brands are DEHP and Nationwide. Here are how the two compare on price:
| DEHP C-Fold Recycled Hand Towels 2304pk (25x33cm) | Nationwide C-Fold Paper Hand Towels 2430pk (40x38cm) | Price Difference |
|---|---|---|
|
£31.75 or £1.37 per 100 towels (regular price) |
£45.99 or £1.89 per 100 towels |
DEHP Hand Towels are £0.52 cheaper per 100 wipes at regular price |

Cyber Silicone
Widely considered the best impression material on the market, addition silicone (a-silicone) is also one of the most routinely used.
The advantages of a-silicone include:
- Most dimensionally stable impression material (no by-products and no shrinkage).
- Best fine detail (ideal choice for final impressions).
- Most time to pour (can be poured days after taking impression).
- Two of our most popular addition silicone brands are Cyber Silicone and Honigum a-silicone. These are tear-resistant, thixotripic silicones with a neutral taste and options for normal or fast set.
Here are how the two compare on price.
| A-silicone Product | Price | Price Difference |
|---|---|---|
| Putty soft |
Cyber Silicone 2 x 250ml tubs = £44.99 Honigum 2 x 450ml tubs = £110.49 |
Cyber Silicone is £3.28 cheaper per 100ml (£8.99 vs £12.27) |
| Light body & regular body/monophase |
Cyber Silicone box of 4 50ml cartridges = £54.49 Honigum box of 2 50ml cartridges = £60.99 |
Cyber Silicone is £14.50 cheaper per cartridge (£15.99 vs £30.49) |
| Bite registration material |
Cyber Silicone Box of 4 50ml cartridges = £54.99 Honigum Box of 2 50ml cartridges = £83.49 |
Cyber Silicone is £28 cheaper per cartridge (£13.74 vs £41.74) |
This shows Cyber Silicone is significantly cheaper on a like-for-like basis than Honigum across its entire range.
