Implant Direct.

Implant Direct's about page says the company has been in implant dentistry for nearly 20 years and that it designs implants in the United States. The timeline on that page starts with the ScrewPlant system in 2004, a direct-to-doctor online store in 2006, and the Legacy internal-hex system in 2008. In 2010 the company says it was acquired by Sybron Dental Specialties, then a Danaher subsidiary, which later became Envista Holdings. The current page calls Implant Direct part of Envista and mentions Ormco and Kerr as other brands in that family. Headquarters on the page are 3050 East Hillcrest Drive, Thousand Oaks, California 91362. Customer service is 1-888-649-6425 and css@implantdirect.com.

Legacy is the internal-hex line. The implants page lists diameters from 3.2 to 7.0 millimeters and lengths from 6 to 16 millimeters, two macro geometries called Legacy 2 and Legacy 3, and a choice of mounted or mount-free packaging. The Legacy product page says the system has more than 19 years of clinical use and an internal hex for anti-rotation. Simply Iconic, introduced on the timeline in 2021, is described as a conical-hex implant. Those two connections are not the same drawer of abutments.

Full-arch parts are published separately. The homepage says the DIRECTarch open multi-unit abutment is available for Simply Iconic, for InterActive, and for Legacy platforms of 3.0, 3.5, and 4.5 millimeters. SMARTbase is described as an engaging titanium abutment with dual-hue anodization and an angulated screw channel. DIRECTscan is a scan body for intraoral or laboratory scanning. Drill Stop Kits use color-coded stops for osteotomy depth. DIRECTguide is a keyless guided kit. The 2025 timeline entry, Archflow 360, is a full-arch workflow that the company says ties implants, abutments, and digital steps together.

Surgical kits follow the implant, not the logo. Implant Direct says the Standard kit layout is for Legacy, ReActive, and Spectra-System users, and that InterActive has its own layout. Mini kits repeat that split in a smaller box. Spectra-System and ReActive are named as existing users of the Standard kit. This profile does not add geometry claims for those two lines beyond the kit assignment, because the fetched pages did not spell the connection out.

The sales model is the other half of the brand. Implant Direct says it pioneered ordering without a traditional dealer and that its aim is clinical results without a premium price. Judge that on the quote you receive and on whether your lab will restore the connection. Education, a clinical advisory panel, and an ambassador program are part of the about page. They are not a warranty. Warranty terms were not on the pages reviewed.

Implant Direct suits a practice that wants to place and restore implants without building a dealer relationship first, and that will pick Legacy or Simply Iconic on purpose. Legacy is the internal hex with a wide published size range. Simply Iconic is the conical hex. Full-arch teams are the audience for DIRECTarch and Archflow 360. The implant motor guide still applies, because the motor is not included in a kit description reviewed here.

Labs should ask which connection is in the patient's mouth before they design. An internal-hex analog is not a conical-hex analog. Mount-free Legacy packaging is called out for digital and guided workflows. Mounted packaging is the traditional option. Tell the lab which one you used.

A practice already deep in Nobel Biocare, also an Envista brand, should not assume Implant Direct parts are Nobel parts. Envista ownership is not prosthetic compatibility. The same caution applies to MIS, Dentium, and ZimVie.

Legacy's published story is an industry-standard internal hex in a direct-to-doctor catalog. Other companies also sell internal-hex implants. "Standard" on Implant Direct's page means the hex shape clinicians already know. It does not mean a Legacy abutment is warranted on someone else's hex. Get the compatibility chart.

Simply Iconic is the conical alternative inside the same company. MIS C1 is a different company's conical implant with its own kit. ZimVie TSX is a different taper and a different prosthetic history. Comparing them is reasonable when you are choosing a first system. Mixing their healing abutments is not.

Price position is the company's claim, not a Dental Country measurement. Implant Direct says the direct model is how it avoids a premium price. Put the quote next to a dealer quote for the system your lab already restores. Include abutments, the surgical kit, and guided sleeves, not just the fixture. Graft materials, if you use Implant Direct's biomaterial category, should be compared in the bone-grafting guide by material type.

Choose the kit layout first. Standard kits are published for Legacy, ReActive, and Spectra-System. InterActive has its own layout. Mini kits follow the same split. Ordering the wrong tray is a wasted sterilization cycle. Then choose mounted or mount-free Legacy packaging if that is the system, and the platform size DIRECTarch requires if you are doing a full arch. The homepage lists Legacy 3.0, 3.5, and 4.5 millimeter platforms for that abutment, which is a platform list, not the full 3.2-to-7.0 millimeter diameter range of the implant.

Service is the Thousand Oaks customer line, 1-888-649-6425. Ask about the implant warranty, drill replacement, and whether education on the about page is included with the first kit. The page describes courses as part of the mission. It does not say they are free or mandatory. Digital tools, DIRECTscan and DIRECTguide, have to match the implant library in your planning software. Confirm the library name.

Biomaterials are listed in the about-page catalog without a product name on the pages used here. Do not invent a graft brand when you order. If the insert is not in the carton, you do not have a graft protocol. The office products directory is where the surrounding material companies are listed.
