Impression Healthcare Limited introduces Seazona – an online portal for ordering custom-fitted oral devices.

Offering custom-fitted oral devices at your dental practice can add tremendous value to the service menu. At the same time, it can also become a headache if:
Those apprehensions may be down to the fact that most dental labs specialising in crown and bridge prosthetics only ‘dabble’ in the delivery of specialty oral devices. For their oral device orders, some labs operate more like courier services, dispatching cases to and collecting them from an overseas facility, with the more responsible ones adding a cursory checkpoint before the case returns to the dentist.
For practices that prefer teaming up with labs that solely focus on oral devices, then an outfit like Impression Healthcare Limited certainly fits the bill. IHL is a Victoria-based company that specialises in the delivery of some of the most popular custom-made oral device products on the market, including: Sports Mouthguards; Night Guards for Teeth Grinders; Teeth Whitening Trays; and Mandibular Advancement Splints and Devices.
And if their product specialisation isn’t enough to put your mind at ease, the fact that IHL is a fully Australian owned and run lab that only delivers locally made wares might. As an added measure of trust and stability, the ASX-listed company consistently sets the bar for price competitiveness and fast turnarounds.
IHL’s continuing efforts to build on top of its esteemed reputation, says George Leighton, Group Marketing Manager, Impression Healthcare Limited, keep it responsive to changing production and customer trends.
“Our systems and processes are under constant scrutiny, enhancement and improvement to ensure the highest quality product is produced for all our customers with both overall unit cost and production timeline in mind.”
“We understand that production timeline is an important factor for dentists and thus running a fully staffed Australian-based lab ensures both efficiency and security for dentists across Australia. We use Australian lab technicians and products are made here in our Melbourne Lab. This ensures that we are able to quality check throughout several stages of production along while ensuring we are being as efficient as possible.”
Insistence on quality materials and timely deliveries, George says, has been the company’s trademark difference. Adding a digital feather to her cap, IHL recently rolled out an online ordering portal to enhance the customer’s buying experience.
The new order management software portal system, named Seazona, allows dentists a convenient platform to log on and place orders 24/7. Once signed in, dentists can easily access and manage their customer account: See invoices, check prices, view orders’ progress within the lab (including a due date) and track all shipping data in real-time.
Once the impression has been taken or scanned, the dentist only has to order the product through the online portal and the rest is pretty much taken care of. It’s even easier for dentists utilising digital scans: They simply order the desired product and upload the scan – no shipping required.
For all traditional impressions, the customer service team would organise for impression courier pick-up. With Seazona, the dentist can keep tabs on the progress of their order throughout all production stages. The finished product would then be sent back to the dentist and ready for fitting on patient.
The Seazona portal is available for ordering IHL’s entire range of popular oral devices. While athletic and sports mouthguards enjoy brisk sales in the lead-up to winter sports season, George says the company’s year-round best sellers are their Night Guards, Occulsal Splints and Mandibular Advancement Splints.
One of IHL’s most popular and successful products is the affordable Silensor-sl® anti-snoring device. Manufactured in Melbourne, the product boasts quality-grade material that precisely conforms to teeth and gums for a comfortable fit – the key criteria for a successful patient outcome. According to Impression Healthcare, this popular oral device has “helped over 4 million people stop snoring”.
Designed for bruxers to wear during sleep, The Knight Guard is a custom-fit night plate available in a variety of thickness and soft/hard materials so that dentists are better equipped to treat individual symptoms.
“Our products are not only comfortable and easy for the end customer to use. With Seazona, we complete the ‘peace of mind’ purchase for dentists by making it simple to place their orders while ensuring a highly customisable solution for their patients along with order and production tracking.”
In the rare circumstance that the product does not fit properly, George says dentists can find assurance through their helpline manned by local lab technicians.
“Besides having your orders processed and delivered faster than if dealing with an overseas supplier, our customer service teams are integral and central throughout the entire process and always on standby to answer your requests in a timely fashion.”
If that still doesn’t work – which again, George stresses, is a remote possibility – the company is more than happy to receive another impression from the customer and remake their product at no extra charge.

Offering custom-fitted oral devices at your dental practice can add tremendous value to the service menu. At the same time, it can also become a headache if:
- The ordering process is cumbersome;
- Communication with the lab technicians isn’t smooth or
