Two years ago Implantium UK was feeling the pressure of the growing number of cost comparative implant systems flooding the market. “We knew we had to do things differently”, says marketing director, Emma Buglass.

“By re-evaluating our company ethos and concentrating on our positives, Implantium have embraced new technologies and developments and are now growing steadily once more”

Implantium is a family run implant company and spreads its family values to its customers. We hope we are getting it right.

One customer gave the following testimonial:

“Although Implantium does not send a load of reps for face to face contact, your customer service and the way that you look after your practitioners is second to none, and you really feel part of a larger "family". The knowledge and experience, both clinical and technical, that you all have are superb, and the speed of getting an answer back, no matter how technical, is fantastic.”

Implantium has clinical knowledge and offers clinical advisors as well as business consultants to its customers. Two of its directors have dental degrees and the company tag line, ‘For Dentists, by Dentists’, still holds true eight years down the line.

The Dentium system is simple and straightforward to use and of high quality with a wealth of clinical evidence behind it. It is distributed to over 58 countries and is manufactured in the US.

Implantium UK is pleased to support ImplantPilot, an innovative guided surgery system; this new technology and design is working well with Dentium.  Implantium’s UK sister company, The Biomaterial Store, focuses on implant related sundries and equipment from drapes to the Versah osseodensification burs.

Implantium has its own specialist and training clinic – Dentale – which allows users to not only share and educate but to try out and evaluate new products. Customers can be reassured that products have been tried and tested in clinical environments.

An implant course with Dentale allows delegates to train on patients with the Dentium system and try new technologies such as guided surgery (Implantpilot) and osseodensification using Densah burs. No other training facility in the UK allows access to more advanced techniques, simplified for those new to the implant market. Once trained, Implantium UK continues to provide support by sending out implant nurses, surgical videos and live chats from the office. This year’s course portfolio is bigger than it has ever been with entry level introductory courses, suture courses, advanced sinus lift courses and immediate implant courses.

Cheryl Bayliss, manager at Dentale, has worked hard with her team to bring to the market this diverse mix which she hopes will appeal to a broad range of implant dentists. The flagship, one day course this year is titled ‘Free hand placement Versahs ImplantPilot’, indicating the outside the box thinking going into the course content. This course is planned for Monday, October 3, at Londec and offers delegates the opportunity to measure guided surgery against free hand placement and feel the sensory feedback of the Densah burs by Versah. The day will feature international speakers on osseodensification and guided surgery and a hands on element. Competitively priced at £499 plus VAT, places can be booked on line at www.dentaletraining.co.uk

All the team at Implantium are happy to engage and speak with customers and bring a wealth of knowledge to the company, recognising the importance of the customer.

A purchase from Implantium brings not only the product but also the personal touch and ongoing support.
