MORE THAN GOLD
If it Isn't ZEST LOCATOR®, It's Not LOCATOR®
Don't settle for just any gold-colored abutment, Demand LOCATOR® gold standard.
For 20+ years, LOCATOR® has set the gold standard in implant attachments. But inferior gold-colored knock-offs compromise patient outcomes and put your reputation at risk.

Why Genuine Zest Still Matters
Understanding the difference between genuine LOCATORĀ® components and inferior knock-offs
| Category | Genuine Zest Components | Inferior Knock-Off Parts |
|---|---|---|
| Regulatory Status | FDA-cleared and precision-engineered by Zest, the original innovator. | Unregulated copies. Not tested or cleared as genuine. |
| System Compatibility | Fully compatible with all LOCATORĀ® platforms: LOCATORĀ®, LOCATORĀ® Angled, LOCATOR FIXEDĀ®, LOCATORĀ® IMPLANT, and LOCATOR ROOTĀ®. |
Not compatible with the LOCATOR System.
|
| Design Integrity | Proprietary design engineered for precision fit, predictable retention, and long-term performance. | Generic geometry identical to low-cost systems from ZimVie and DESS. No proprietary innovation. |
| Performance & Reliability | Guaranteed precise fit, consistent retention, and long-term durability. Minimizes remakes and chairside issues. | Variable tolerances may cause looseness, wear, or seating issues. Increases lab remakes and patient dissatisfaction. |
| Warranty & Support | Backed by Zest's full warranty, quality assurance, and U.S.-based technical support. | No Zest warranty or clinical support. Knock-off products are not covered or supported for troubleshooting. |
| System Integration | Seamlessly integrates with Zest's restorative ecosystem. Ensures accuracy across all components. | High risk of cross-compatibility failure with genuine Zest parts. Leads to unpredictable outcomes. |
| Education & Field Service | Supported by national sales and clinical teams for in-lab education, CE programs, and case planning. | No field presence or clinical education resources. Purely transactional sales. |
| Partnership Value | Growth through collaboration, co-marketing, and lab referral programs. | No partnership model. Purchase only. No collaboration or growth support. |
| Bottom Line |
When you order direct from Zest, your lab benefits from:
|
Opaque pricing, stock and inventory delays that affect your business, poor customer service, and no clinical support. āāHigh risk and low reward. |
The Zest Partnership Advantage
When you partner directly with Zest for genuine LOCATORĀ® components, you're choosing more than precision-engineered products. You're choosing complete system integration, comprehensive support, and a relationship built on decades of innovation.
