A Smile Is Worth a Thousand … Bucks? Fast Track Your Dental Practice with Sterngold Total Smile™

Sterngold Total Smile™ is your single source solution for restorative case challenges.

When it comes to dental treatment, especially restorative procedures, many patients fear the price tag more than the procedure itself. For dentists, providing patients with quality and affordable restorative dentistry is a challenge. Often, they have to deal with multiple vendors just to put together an attractive package for the patient. For dental labs, on the other hand, their profit continues to be squeezed by larger entities who have the muscle to control their costs and service rates.

What if you could offer your patients affordable rates for restorative procedures? How about not having to negotiate with multiple suppliers just to purchase implant and prosthetic components? Imagine having easy access to industry experts before and after purchase. You can with Sterngold Total Smile™ (STS™).

Sterngold Total Smile™ is also a winning solution for dental labs. For instance, by providing an implant to crown service for less than $500, you can differentiate your lab from competitors, attract new customers, and grow your prosthetic business. You can complete your digital overdentures or fixed hybrid prosthesis or conventional denture on natural tooth root or on bar, sourcing all your components from Sterngold Dental.

Sterngold Dental is an industry leader in restorative dentistry, with a sterling reputation that reaches back 125 years. Sterngold has always believed that cost should never be a barrier for patients seeking the best dental solution to improve their quality of life.

As the largest single provider of dental attachments and mini implants in the industry—offering more restorative options than most competitors—Sterngold has combined its multiple implant and attachment selections with the advanced capabilities of digital dentures, to bring forth the Sterngold Total Smile™ (STS™) solution. With STS™, you can a have a better handle on your cost, time, and quality concerns while delivering a swifter restoration of a beautiful smile for patients.

Let’s have a look at a few case scenarios where STS™ has helped restore the patient’s smile (and confidence!) without breaking the bank, helped the practice increase case acceptance, and enabled dental labs to demonstrate true partnership with the practice.

Investing in the Future With a Better Smile

Meet Megan, a recent college graduate who is ready to make her mark in the world. In preparation for entering the professional workforce, she’s looking to invest in her future with increased confidence, starting with an esthetically enhanced smile.

How can Megan’s dentist make sure she gets that beautiful smile to boost her confidence at a price to fit her budget?

Answer: Sterngold Total Smile™ (STS™). STS™ is an end-to-end solution that will allow Megan to afford the treatment, one she considers to be an investment for a promising future. Whether using MOR® small diameter implants or TRU® or PUR® implants at an amazing all-in-1 bundle price, her dentist is passing on significant savings to Megan.

New Chapter, New Smiles

Say hello to Howard, a 38-year-old powerlifting gym manager who has spent his best years working out and helping others get in shape. The pandemic, however, forced many gyms across the country to close shop and he was among one of the unfortunate individuals faced with job loss. Luckily, Howard pre-planned an emergency fund, regularly saving back a portion of his income. Smart man! He’s also been putting aside money for his long-standing goal: to get dental implants for some lost teeth.

Howard realizes the longer he delays the procedure, the more it will likely cost him down the road. In his initial consultations, it’s been determined that he doesn’t have enough bone to support a crown, so he needs an implant. The implant to crown treatment costs more than he anticipated, and as he eases his way back into his gym manager role after returning to work, the cost factor weighs heavily on his mind.

Howard’s dentist is thrilled to find a dental lab hooked into Sterngold Total Smile™ and has decided on the STS3: Implant-to-Crown option. The dental lab has assured Howard’s dentist that they can deliver an implant-to-crown for less than $500. This is quite a reduction from the typical cost for this type of service. Now, Howard can get his long-planned treatment done, just in time for his return to the workplace. The dentist, who is very happy with the dental laboratory which extended this amazing service rate, has decided to bring more business to this partner. The dental lab is thrilled to be able to prove, as always, that they are true partners to clinical practices. Smiles all around!

Balance Treatment Acceptance and Affordability with STS™ Implant-to-Crown Solution

When you source all your dental procedure materials from a single source—Sterngold Dental—the total cost of prosthetics and supplies are naturally much lower compared to acquiring them from multiple sources. In addition, no time and extra energy are wasted on a distributed effort.

With Sterngold Total Smile™, dental professionals get complete access to affordable, ISO-quality, US made implants, implant attachments, digital and conventional dentures, plus restorative supplies, enjoy a healthy profit, while being able to pass on savings to patients. It’s a win for everyone.

Enjoy Retirement and a Juicy Steak With a Smile

David, a retired Marine sergeant, hails from the Midwest. He’s been on multiple tours overseas and is now settled into civilian life, stateside. His military maneuvers, however, have come at a cost: tooth loss has complicated life for this steak loving sergeant.

David hopes to receive the proper dental treatment: a fixed prosthesis with implants. The procedure is rather costly, but the result will provide an enhanced quality of life. David can enjoy food like he used to with a more secure and better looking prosthesis.

As a senior and military retiree, David has access to Medicare, but the coverage is limited, so he’ll still need to ensure he can get the procedure he wants without the co-pay expense eating into his pension.

So, how can David ensure he enjoys his golden years by getting the procedure he needs while on a limited budget? His dentist has picked STS5: Fixed Hybrid option. The treatment utilizes the $95 All-in-1 bundle of TRU®/PUR® implants which sets the tone for affordability while using high performance quality implants. With this solution, David’s dentist can help the retired Marine enjoy more of life at retirement. That includes sinking his teeth into a juicy piece of prime steak!

Fixed Hybrid: TRU® or PUR® Implants + Fixed Prosthesis

Balancing Cost and Quality Dental Treatments

As a dental lab owner, you need to maintain the delicate balance between artistry, reliability, and cost. In an increasingly competitive market, it is imperative that you distinguish yourself by providing true value to your partner: the dentist. With the price of prosthetic components and other lab supplies at a premium and technical skills at near parity, creating a competitive difference to turn a healthy profit, has increasingly been challenging.

One way to substantially slash costs without sacrificing quality is by partnering with Sterngold Dental. Under the Dental Lab Partnership program, with the STS3: Implant-to-Crown option under STS™, your lab can provide dentists with the ability to pay for an implant-to-crown service at less than $500. Full prosthetic components are included with each implant: healing abutment, open/closed tray impression coping, analog, straight final abutment, and prosthetic screw. When you provide significant savings to your dentists, they pass on the savings to their patients. You are simply demonstrating that your dental lab is an invaluable partner to the dental practice.
