A local dental implant supplier is launching a new range of products designed specifically for patients who are currently unsuitable for traditional implant treatments.

Shrewsbury-based Implantium has introduced its Slimline Mini Implant range as an alternative to standard implants, following a lengthy and successful period of stringent testing to determine its long-term efficacy and performance. The new product is aimed at patients for whom traditional implants are not suitable, either because of complications such as poor bone volume or quality, or cases where a patient's health contraindicates the surgery required.

"These new mini implants have angled abutments that can be adjusted to 16 different positions, making them extremely easy to place, even in cases where there is high bone volume, resulting in minimal invasion for the patient" Julie Davies, Group Manager for Implantium, explained. "At just 2mm wide, Slimline Mini Implants are the leanest product currently available on the market, and have the added advantage of being easy to use, particularly in tight spaces where there is a narrow ridge.

"Because of our confidence in the overall quality and effectiveness of this system, for a limited period only, we are offering a very special deal. Any dentist that buys 10 mini implants, costing £60+ VAT each, will also get the chance to purchase a surgical kit for just £250, which is half the usual price of £500. This gives dentists the chance to try out a product that truly has the potential to revolutionise modern implantology at a remarkably cost-effective price."

Implantium is a leading UK-based supplier of high-quality, cost-effective dental implants. Run for dentists, by dentists, Implantium runs its own research programme and actively seeks innovative ideas that could be developed into new products, while it is also home to the Implantium Network, a match-making service which helps place patients who are interested in having an implant placed with skilled dentists in their local area.
