Paradigm shift in industry by Dr. Niznick

Gerald Niznick, an American pioneer in implant dentistry, returns with his new company Implant Direct (www.implantdirect.com) to the European market for dental implants.

After Dr. Niznick’s sale of his former company Paragon in the year 2001 to Sulzer Medica (later Centerpulse and today Zimmer), he developed with Implant Direct a global provider of high-quality implants and prosthetic components, which are sold directly over Internet to experienced dentists active in implantology. Due to a lean production process and an innovative marketing and sales system, Implant Direct can offer its customer prices up to 70% below competitors prices for qualitatively high standing implants.

Dr. Niznick's re-entry to the field, with new patened designs, all-in-one packaging, and web based interactive online shopping offering at unprecidented low prices is creating great excitement from both dental professionals and industry analysts. Implant Direct, now globally, is establishing itself as the “Challenger Brand” and the “Thought Leader” in an industry where the leading companies were uneffected by price competition.
