GuidedSMILE Ivotion

Keep your full arch patient cost in the teens without sacrificing quality

Every year less than 1% of needy patients receive full-arch treatment, and treatment cost is the number 1 barrier. Ivotion GuidedSMILE offers doctors a same-day, long-term fixed hybrid solution that can be priced for patients at half the traditional cost.

National Crisis – Full Arch

• 40 million adult Americans have no teeth – American Society of Prosthodontists
• Over 250-300K arches are surgically restored each year (2021 industry data).
• This represents 0.75% of all needy Americans if you assume that all the surgeries were single arch and all patients edentulous.
• This is unrealistically high as dentate patients and double arch surgeries are not factored in.
• The biggest patient barrier to dental treatment is cost. (source 1  |  source 2  |  source 3  | source 4)
  
  

Why is this crisis so difficult to solve?

The predominant reason why other industry attempts to solve this issue have been historically unsuccessful is due to the primary focus placed on providing a ‘cheaper’ solution. This is based on the idea that making the solution ‘cheaper’ will allow the practitioner to pass these savings to patients. Unfortunately, a cheaper solution very frequently results in a lesser quality product that routinely fails both the doctor and the patient.

The real answer is NOT cheaper, it is smarter.

The solution – Ivotion GuidedSMILE

There are two predominant concerns any long-term solution must address and solve:

1. LONG-TERM PROSTHESES STRENGTH

The prostheses must be strong enough to become a viable long-term fixed hybrid solution for patients. This has to be the predominant focus of any solution. Prosthesis strength can be addressed across multiple dimensions:

• Material Strength – solved by the Ivotion denture
• Passivity – solved by CHROME GuidedSMILE

2. LAB COST REDUCTION FOR THE DOCTOR

The solution must provide a reduction in lab costs that in turn can be passed along to the patient all while maintaining necessary doctor profit margins.  The answer to this societal issue is the innovative integration of TWO PATENTED technologies for one game-changing solution – Ivotion GuidedSMILE.
