The Neoss Difference

Neoss has a lot of great products and solutions that they are building on and new products that they will be launching shortly. But it has been a very quiet and traditional company. Now, their focus has been on expanding the brand footprint by increasing their marketing efforts and how they do business. Dr. Gottlander and his team have started with redoing and upgrading their digital channels with the latest technology with a new ERP, CRM, webshop, and much more.

The innovative prosthetic platform they call NeossONE™ is a solution unique to the Neoss® Implant System – one prosthetic platform, across three implant ranges, including ALL implant diameters and abutments. Simply put, the same prosthetic components fit every implant.

The one prosthetic platform solution ensures seamless communication within the dental team. Less components reduce the inventory managed by both the dental practice and laboratory, and with less stock comes less confusion – particularly when all prosthetics fit every implant! As communication is improved, the likelihood of errors is drastically reduced within the dental office.

For dental technicians, the NeossONE™ solution offers an intelligent and simple solution with less inventory of components digital workflows supporting local production or central production for patient-specific solutions. This requires less effort and time to implement, gives maximum flexibility, and strengthens relationships with the clinician’s team.

The benefits of this solution for the whole dental team are unique to Neoss and a big competitive advantage. The product allows dental professionals to provide reliable and cost-effective treatments with predictable long-term results to their patients. Leading the market with ingenuity and integrity, they strive to set new standards. In developing smart treatment solutions and working closely with each practice, Neoss makes the complex less complicated. They call that Intelligent Simplicity.
