Implant innovation
popular within general prac- tice, and to help them bridge that gap and make the transi- tion to placing implants, we felt a pricing system like this was essential for clarifying what the dental laboratory offers. “We can only now offer
these options due to recent developments in digital dentistry where we can design and manufacture individual abutments in-house, removing the system specific aspects of component costs.” Duncan Black is already a big
things from our customers’ point of view. What would make it easier to run their dental business? We felt an offering like this was well overdue. Implants are becoming more and more
fan of the offering. He said: “It’s a simple and clear idea, no more searching the fee guide to price separate items. We’ve used DTS for years and it has always provided us with excellent work and technical support with complex cases. “Its new fixed-price lab
deal is ideal. We can use the systems we’ve always used and we get to stay in control of the price.”
The new implant offering
has only been available through DTS for two months, but it is already proving to be highly successful throughout the UK. Duncan added: “DTS has
always been very conscious of new developments – keeping up and usually ahead of the game – and it consistently provides us with new innova- tive solutions to help us in the practice. “Last year it launched Opalite
– the first Full Zirconia Crown – which is offered at a very competitive price and it made a positive difference to our lab bills while offering the patient a durable and cost-effective option.”

years.To find out more about DTS International and their fixed price implant solutions, visit
