The founding of Edison Medical was about as organic as it gets: the CEO grew up surrounded by dentistry as a child whose father owned a dental product distribution company. He obtained a double degree in business and technology, gained medical experience as a paramedic, and subsequently combined these two worlds to try his luck selling dental implant products for a major player in the US market, which proved to be a highly successful undertaking. His time in the industry served as a lightbulb moment. He saw that the overwhelming amount of dental implant options was a source of confusion and complication for many industry professionals.
Realizing that there was no single source to turn to that satisfied all the brand and implant system options, he teamed up with some industry colleagues, and this group ultimately became the founding members of EM. Driven to fill the apparent void in the dental implant market themselves, Edison Medical was born. Rather than create a marketplace for all brands where so many of the same inherent problems that come with too many options would continue to exist, they decided to carry out their own vision.
Creating a business encompassing both the production and the marketplace was the answer. It allowed a simplification of the implant market for professionals by creating the highest quality products designed for use with more than 70 of the market’s leading brands and across multiple platforms, and costing significantly less than the competition.
That was 2011. More than a decade later, Edison Medical continues to push the boundaries of the dental implant industry. EM offers one of the most extensive, premium quality selections, manufactured and sold by EM and EM alone. That means full transparency during the entire life of an implant from raw material to the patient’s mouth, with no gray areas between when the product is passed from manufacturer to distributor. With a newly released website that allows dental professionals to intuitively navigate and purchase supplies in record times, the company is certainly giving their competition a run for its money.
