Implant Systems
Osstem
Osstem Implant is a dental implant manufacturer founded in South Korea in 1997 by a practising dentist. Headquartered in Seoul, the company specialises in dental implants and the surgical equipment that supports implant treatment. It is known for implant systems such as the TS III line and for its SA and SOI surface technologies. Osstem implants are now used in clinics across many countries worldwide.
Use at the clinic
Osstem implants are used across a wide range of treatments, from a single missing tooth to full arch restorations. The reasons the system is chosen in the clinic are its well documented surface technology and the brand's broad international network. If you live abroad, your implant can be followed up and maintained in your home country.
Strengths
Modern surface technology
Osstem's SA surface is prepared by sandblasting and acid etching. Its super-hydrophilic SOI surface is designed to help bone integrate with the implant more readily.
Wide range of options
The system offers many implant diameters and lengths for different bone conditions and treatment scenarios. That variety makes it easier to plan your treatment around your own anatomy.
Investment in research and training
The company set up a dedicated bone science research institute in 2008. It also runs implant training programmes for dentists around the world.
Global availability
Osstem has offices and distributors in many countries. If you ever need a part or maintenance years after treatment, finding support in your own country is usually straightforward.
Points to consider
Market segment
Osstem sits in a more accessible segment than the premium Swiss and Swedish brands. If you specifically want a premium segment system, the alternatives can be talked through at your consultation.
Parts availability varies by country
Although the brand is widespread, not every clinic works with every system. If your follow-up care will happen in another country, it is worth asking in advance whether your local clinic handles Osstem-compatible parts.
Not an automatic choice for everyone
Your bone volume, gum health and general health all shape the implant plan. The brand alone does not decide the outcome; the system that suits you best is agreed after your examination.
Frequently Asked Questions

- With regular care and good oral hygiene they can serve you for many years. Longevity depends largely on your daily cleaning, your bone health and how consistently you attend check-ups.

- Osstem has been in business since 1997 and has manufactured implants for many years; its products are licensed for use in many countries. The company runs its own research institute and training programmes for dentists. Whether it is the right fit for your case is discussed at your consultation.
- Can my dentist at home maintain an Osstem implant?
- In most countries, yes, because the brand has a wide distributor network. At the end of your treatment you receive records with your implant's brand, diameter and length, so your local dentist can continue your care.
