Shropshire implant supplier introduces accreditation scheme

Under its new Implantium Accreditation Scheme – one of the first of its kind in implant dentistry – dentists that meet a series of strict criteria for quality and care will receive a certificate and be able to display the programme’s logo on their own website and official documentation.

“We are introducing the Implantium Accreditation Scheme following overwhelming feedback from patients, who wish to know that they will be treated by a dentist – and dental practice – that meet the highest possible standards,” Julie Davies, Group Manager for Implantium, explained. “It will help patients to make more informed decisions about where to go for treatment, as gaining accreditation will demonstrate that a dentist’s training procedures, overall processes, and company systems are compliant with legislation and meet their expectations.”

To be eligible for the scheme, participating dentists will be assessed against factors such as whether they have undertaken the necessary implant dentistry training, and whether a practice has fully up-to-date cross infection and patient complaints policies.

“Only dentists that place a minimum number of implants each year will be able to apply for the accreditation, ensuring it really is only applicable to dentists that are well-practiced in the art of implant dentistry. Any dentist interested in finding out more about the Implantium Accreditation Scheme can call one of our team on 0845 0176 262 or email info@implantium.co.uk,” Julie Davies added.
