CATEGORY AUSTRALASIAN DENTIST 15 INNOVATIONS In today’s dental landscape, implant dentistry is built on precision, planning and predictability – not just clinically, but commercially as well. Yet despite the clinical evolution of implant treatment, one frustration remains surprisingly common: unexpected costs appearing late in the restorative process. Whether it’s an additional fee for a custom abutment, an angulated solution or components required to complete the case properly, clinicians are often left navigating pricing structures that can feel fragmented and unclear. According to Matt Smith, General Manager at Andent, that’s exactly why the Andent Genuine Implant Package continues to resonate with practices across Australia. “The Genuine Implant Package was never designed to be simply about price,” says Smith. “It’s about certainty. Clinicians want to know that when they prescribe an implant case, everything required to complete that restoration with confidence is already included – without surprises later.” In a market where headline pricing can sometimes make comparison difficult, the package is designed to provide greater transparency around what is included from the beginning. This includes the restorative components clinicians commonly need to achieve the right clinical outcome, such as custom abutments and angulated solutions where clinically appropriate. “It’s about removing uncertainty from the process,” Smith explains. “Practices shouldn’t have to second-guess whether a case will suddenly become more expensive because the clinical situation changed slightly. Implant restorations are already complex enough clinically. The commercial side should be straightforward.” That transparency reflects Andent’s broader approach to implant dentistry: providing clinicians with dependable support, local expertise and restorative solutions that prioritise long-term outcomes rather than short-term upselling. Manufactured locally in Melbourne, Andent’s implant restorations are backed by Australian Made quality and direct access to an experienced technical team. For clinicians, that means faster communication, local accountability and a collaborative relationship that becomes increasingly valuable as implant cases become more complex. According to Andent’s Lab Manager Marc Mifsud, the laboratory’s implant capability extends well beyond standard single-unit restorations. Certainty from the start: The value of a complete implant package “We support the full spectrum of implant cases,” says Mifsud. “That can range from a straightforward single implant crown through to highly complex full-arch rehabilitations and All-on-X cases. Every clinician and every case is different, so our focus is always on providing the right restorative solution and technical support for the situation.” Central to that capability is Andent’s continued investment in digital implant workflows. As digital dentistry becomes increasingly integrated into modern practice, Andent has expanded its digital infrastructure to support more streamlined collaboration between clinic and laboratory. “Digital workflows have transformed implant restorations,” Mifsud explains. “The ability to work from high-quality intraoral scans, collaborate digitally with clinicians and manufacture with greater precision creates a more predictable experience for both the practice and the patient.” Those workflows also allow Andent to support clinicians at every stage of their implant journey – whether they are experienced implant providers managing complex full-arch cases or practices looking to grow their implant offering with confidence. Importantly, the laboratory’s role is not limited to manufacturing alone. Increasingly, clinicians are seeking laboratory partners who can provide technical guidance, treatment-planning support, and restorative expertise throughout the entire process. “We see ourselves as far more than just a production laboratory,” says Smith. “Our role is to work alongside clinicians to help make implant treatment simpler, more predictable and ultimately more successful for their patients.” That collaborative mindset has become a defining part of Andent’s identity as an Implant Solutions Partner; a laboratory capable of supporting everything from simple implant restorations through to advanced, multidisciplinary implant treatments. In an environment where clinicians are under increasing pressure to deliver efficiency, predictability and value, pricing certainty matters. That means transparent pricing, local technical expertise, and access to the right restorative components when they’re needed – without unexpected costs along the way. The Andent Genuine Implant Package reflects that philosophy. More than a competitive price, it delivers a genuinely complete implant solution backed by Australian manufacturing, advanced digital workflows and a team committed to supporting clinicians from treatment planning through to final restoration. u
