We're Live, Atlantis Live!

We've now got the list of confirmed dates and venues for the Astra Atlantis live CAD/CAM custom abutment roadshow.


Altantis abutments from Astra Tech are the ultimate in CAD/CAM cement restorations (and sometimes even screw retained, but more of that on the night) for the most popular implant platforms currently available.


On these evenings you will discover,


How to deliver the most biocompatible abutments for all major implant systems, in a range of options including Ziorconia, Gold coloured & Titanium for the best aesthetic results.


How to maximise your retentive surface for your cement retained restorations using Astra Atlantis.


How much your standard abutments really cost you, including stock abutments which are traditionally seen as a cheaper option but can ofetn cost you much more than a CAD Atlantis custom abutment.


How to save even more money by reducing the cost of expensive alloy used to restore cement retained restorations.


How to have abutments delivered which are easier to clear excess cement at fit by using Atlantis unique VAD (virtual abutment design) used by Astra Tech to design the abutments.


The unique benefits of Astra Atlantis Gemini abutments which save you surgery time, reduce the patients discomfort of extra impressions & help to develop the soft tissue for maximum aesthetics.

The dates are:-

30th Sept - Bristol City Centre Marriot Hotel, 2 Lower Castle Street. BS1 3AD

Astra Atlantis Live evenings

We'd like to thank everyone who attended the Astra Atlantis evenings where Mark Ambridge and Steven Campbell discussed the benefits of this exciting new custom implant abutment CAD/CAM system.

They were a great success and we've also been approached to provide more evenings based on our advanced implant restoration and implant based CAD/CAM knowledge.

We remain keen to share the benefits of the Astra Atlantis abutment system with as many people as possible, this really is a fantastic opportunity to provide patients with the best implant restorations without the high costs usually involved
