Optima Supplies Limited exists because a dentist got tired of the gap between what practices pay for consumables and what those consumables actually cost.
Like every practice owner, our founder spent years signing off supply invoices that only ever went one way. The same gloves, the same masks, the same suture boxes, costing more each year with nothing to show for it.
Working chairside every week also means noticing what the catalogues don't tell you: which nitrile gloves give you real tactility, which Type IIR masks stay comfortable through a long surgical list, which PTFE sutures actually hold a knot, and which implant screws seat cleanly first time.
Optima was set up to put that knowledge to work. We go direct to audited manufacturers, test products in a working surgery, and pass the savings on. The result is a focused range of value products a dentist is happy to use on their own patients.
Nothing goes on our list until it has been used in practice. We assess every product for performance, comfort and consistency, not just price per unit.
Clear trade pricing with no surcharges, no minimum-order traps and volume breaks a single-site practice can actually reach.
CE / UKCA marked consumables and traceable implant components, with technical documentation and certificates available whenever you need them for CQC or audit.
We buy from audited manufacturers rather than through layers of distribution, which is where most of the saving comes from.
Samples are used chairside before we commit. If a product doesn't earn its place, it doesn't get listed.
Core lines are held in the UK so routine orders ship quickly and you're never caught short.
Questions about compatibility, sizing or certification are answered by people who understand the clinical context.
Whether you're a single-surgery NHS practice watching every penny, a private implant clinic that needs surgical packs and prosthetic components to a precise spec, or a group looking to consolidate suppliers, Optima is set up to help.
Send us your usual order and we'll show you what it would cost with Optima.
