What is Pure Switch? A story about the art of switching on DESS® Dental

We're scared of losing teeth. In fact, it's probably more accurate to say that we're actually terrified of the simple thought that at any moment, whether by accident or disease, one of our permanent teeth will be gone forever.

Did you know that according to a study by the American Phycological Association, 39% of people have dreamt or will at some point dream of their teeth falling out, breaking, or decaying beyond repair?

Sigmund Freud had his own theory on the subject, but the truth is that even now, a century later, psychology scholars have not been able to reach a consensus. There are some hypotheses, yes. For example, a study entitled Dreams of Teeth Falling Out: An Empirical Investigation of Physiological and Psychological Correlates in Frontiers of Psychology has connected this common oneiric experience with a real fear linked to bruxism, a curiously massive pathology, suffered by around 70% of the population.

In any case, tooth loss is as real as life itself. People suffer from pathologies, hormonal changes…we even have accidents. And our teeth wear down and decay. Losing them or observing their deterioration scares us. It makes us uneasy and insecure, especially when we show ourselves to others. As if this were not enough, we also see our self-esteem and our ability to interact socially undermined.

Fortunately, for some time now, dental techniques and technology have advanced by leaps and bounds. What were once irretrievable losses are now opportunities to smile again, gain confidence and self-confidence. We are talking about dental aesthetic techniques and, of course, implantology.

Through dental treatments, implants, and prosthetic abutments, we can recover teeth that our dentists have considered lost or replace those that have suffered excessive wear over the years or due to an acute condition. Therefore, knowing that these types of solutions exist helps us to overcome fear and to trust that we will be able to smile again shortly with complete confidence.

The power of a job well done in the dental health field

Ours is a complex field of work because at DESS® Dental we work with technology for the well-being of people. At the same time, we develop the dental products and solutions that dental professionals need to perform their work as dentists and dental technicians.

For many years, at DESS® Dental we have been developing brand-compatible dental abutments. Today, we continue to produce them and are therefore able to offer innovative solutions to dental professionals. The best thing about it? All our products are developed under the umbrella of a concept called Pure Switch.

What does Pure Switch mean?

Pure Switch is the art of switching. Our many years of experience have enabled us to manufacture dental abutments that are compatible with the most popular brands on the market.

Prosthetic abutments are indispensable parts used with dental implants. As you know, implants work as artificial roots that fuse with the bone and allow the prosthesis, in this case, the artificial tooth, to be completely attached. The abutments are part of this structure because they are the pieces that allow the prosthesis to be connected to the implant. They are divided into two types: healing abutments, which are the abutments that are placed before the definitive prosthesis is fitted and serve to help the tissues heal, and definitive abutments, which are fitted after the gum has healed.

Because they are Pure Switch, the abutments we manufacture at DESS® Dental can replace any implant brand. In fact, they are 100% compatible with the most popular implants on the market. The geometry of DESS® Dental abutments is perfect for fitting, but they also add quality and strength to dental implants and treatments.

If there are already abutments from other brands, why should I choose DESS® Dental?

Indeed, there are already brands on the market that are well known to dental professionals. We are all familiar with Nobel Biocare®, Straumann®, Zimmer®, and Astra Tech®, to name only a few. However, there are several reasons why we at DESS® Dental set out to develop compatible abutments.

On the one hand, we wanted to be able to offer more economical prosthetic solutions. And that is one of our great advantages. However, this did not mean that we had to compromise on excellence.

Our experience over the years has enabled us to develop abutments of the highest quality that are, at the same time, perfectly compatible with dental implants of other brands –the same ones that dental professionals use every day in their practices.

The advantages of Pure Switch abutments

Many years of research and development experience at DESS® Dental has enabled us to achieve compatible and quality abutments. But why would we recommend our Pure Switch abutments?

Well, first of all, because the abutments are 100% compatible and perfectly interchangeable. At present, they can be fitted and matched efficiently and safely with the 30 most popular implant brands in the dental field. It should also be noted that these abutments come with a lifetime guarantee, which offers patients and professionals a prospect of enormous security.

Speaking of professionals – this is the crux of the matter. Thanks to the DESS® Dental abutments, dental professionals have the opportunity to work with compatible products at all times without losing any of their performance. Moreover, these abutments are always available, even for online purchase, and are much more economically priced than those that carry the label of an implant brand.

All with the quality guarantee that DESS® Dental can offer as a manufacturer with more than 70 years of experience behind us.

Taking the step: Can I trust DESS® Dental?

We are a family business that started in a small workshop in Barcelona in the 1950s. In 2007 we received our first order for outsourced production in the dental sector and since then we have continued to work on the development and production of prosthetic abutments. So much so that we currently manufacture more than three million components a year for the whole world.

In all this time we have realized something very important: as a good science, dentistry is alive and demands innovation. This demand has motivated us to develop products that facilitate treatments and offer flexibility to professionals. That's why, in addition to a key concept for us, Pure Switch, we have succeeded in providing dentists and dental laboratories with a wide range of dental abutments and prosthetic solutions that can be purchased easily and through DESS® Dental as a single supplier.
