Implant Systems
Straumann
Straumann is a Swiss dental implant manufacturer headquartered in Basel, with roots in a research institute founded in 1954. The company introduced its first dental implant in 1974 and today produces implant systems, the crown and bridge components that attach to them, and biomaterials used to support the jawbone. It is known for technologies developed in house, including the SLActive implant surface and Roxolid, a titanium-zirconium alloy.
Use at the clinic
Straumann implants are used across a wide range of treatments, from a single missing tooth to full-arch implant restorations. The reasons this system is chosen in the clinic are its long record of published clinical research and the availability of its parts in most countries. For patients travelling from abroad, that means aftercare can continue at home after treatment in Antalya.
Strengths
Decades of clinical research
Straumann implants have been followed in independent clinical studies for decades. The company also works with the International Team for Implantology (ITI), a worldwide scientific network.
SLActive surface technology
SLActive is a surface technology the manufacturer developed to support the healing phase after an implant is placed. It is one of the distinguishing features within Straumann's own product range.
Roxolid material
Roxolid is Straumann's titanium-zirconium alloy, designed for strength. In suitable cases it allows your dentist to choose a narrower implant.
Parts available worldwide
Because Straumann is so widely used, spare parts and compatible components can be sourced in many countries. Even years after treatment, a dentist in your home country can obtain what they need.
Points to consider
Premium price segment
Straumann sits in the premium segment of implant systems, so the overall cost of treatment can be higher than with some alternatives. The options are discussed with you at your consultation.
Suitability depends on an assessment
The volume of your jawbone, the health of your gums and your general health all determine whether implant treatment is right for you. In some cases, bone grafting is needed before an implant can be placed.
The brand is only part of the outcome
How long an implant lasts depends not just on the brand, but on treatment planning, the surgery itself and your daily care afterwards. Attending regular check-ups is an important part of that.
