Over the past decade, dental implants have become a standard in dentistry, but we often encounter patients who are unaware of the differences between various dental implant systems and the long-term implications of each.
When making such an investment, it is normal to want an implant with the best possible guarantee, durability over time and an almost 100% success rate, but only a few dental implants can offer such advantages, and those are also the most popular worldwide.
Straumann has distinguished itself since 1974 by investing in research, and this has enabled the development of numerous technologies in dentistry. Straumann comes up with a special product made of titanium and zirconium that offers much greater strength than titanium. These investments in research and development have contributed decisively to the best implants on the dental market.
From the very beginning, Straumann specialists have been involved in the research, development and manufacture of dental implants that offer a lifetime guarantee and are biocompatible with the body. At the heart of a Straumann dental implant are over 35 years of scientific research and more than 700 scientific papers certifying all these benefits for the patient.
Thanks to Swiss quality and reliable scientific research, Straumann implants are used by some 18 million patients in more than 70 countries around the world.
The quality of a Straumann implant is recognized all over the world, with a market share of 23% globally, a very high value that is constantly growing thanks to continuous investments in technology and digitalization.
Ongoing investment in research has also led to the creation of an ideal dental implant composition that adapts quickly in the body and ensures lifelong resistance.
For an aesthetic result, Straumann offers patients dental implants made of ceramic. With titanium implants, there is a risk that the aesthetic quality of the treatment may be impaired and stand out next to the gingiva, where a grayish tint will be noticeable. With a ceramic implant you eliminate this risk and enjoy a natural smile.
Straumann provides patients with short implants, which avoid the need for a bone addition procedure, sometimes considerably reducing the total price of the treatment plan. At the same time, smaller implants protect vital structures and vascularization.
The Straumann dental implant comes with a lifetime guarantee from the manufacturer, because they are made from materials that have proven their strength over a very long time. Patients enjoy a new smile that can last a lifetime and will return to their daily routine immediately after treatment.
Advanced research in the field has helped Straumann specialists produce a dental implant that can also be successfully adapted for patients with diabetes or osteoporosis. The treatment success rate in these patients has always been close to 100%. Straumann implants with SLActive have a narrow diameter and are very well anchored in the bone, offering long-lasting strength.
The Straumann specialists wanted a dental implant that is biocompatible with the body and at the same time adapts quickly in the bone. Thus, the SLActive implant reduces the implant-to-bone adaptation time to 3-4 weeks from 6-8 weeks, accelerating the healing of the treated area.
