TAG Medical

What TAG Medical does

DD Products and Services Ltd., trading as Dental Directory, is a UK-based B2B distributor of dental and aesthetic supplies serving practices and clinics across the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland. The company operates a single e-commerce platform (ddgroup.com) carrying over 30,000 product lines spanning consumables, dental equipment, pharmaceuticals, bonding and cements, endodontics, orthodontics, surgical and implantology supplies, infection control, X-ray/imaging, digital dentistry, and facial aesthetics. Distribution is supported by same-day dispatch for orders placed before 6pm, free delivery on orders over £40, and a temperature-controlled medicines supply chain — a capability that has grown into a regulated eScript online pharmacy service with HIPAA/HITECH alignment. The company was founded in 1970 and processes over 2,000 orders per day, and holds ISO 13485:2016 certification.

Revenue is generated through three principal streams: product sales of dental and aesthetic consumables and equipment (hardware sales sourced from a multi-brand supplier portfolio including Kerr, GC, EMS, Melag, W&H, Dentsply Sirona, Coltene, Solventum, SDI Directa, Acteon, Sendoline, Carestream Dental, and its own brand UnoDent); equipment servicing, validation, and repairs performed by a multi-skilled field engineering network (professional services); and recurring training, compliance, and radiation-protection services (professional services). The go-to-market is sales-led via the e-commerce storefront with registered-account pricing, supplemented by supplier-channel partnerships. Customer segments are vertical-specific: dental practices and clinics (primary) and aesthetic medical professionals (secondary), both served predominantly through SMB relationships. Geographic scope is restricted to the UK and Republic of Ireland, and the company is privately held with no disclosed external investment.
