SmileAward contest 2022: 2021 winners tell you why you should participate too

At Straumann, our mission is to change people's lives by giving smiles back and in 2022, with the second edition of the Straumann® SmileAward contest, we aim to see this impact in action. In this video, three 2021 winners, Sergio Piano (Italy), Philip Tan (Australia) and Karla Soto (USA) will tell you, why they participated, what the experienced, and why YOU too shouldn't miss the opportunity to enter the competition.

Everyday thousands of dental professionals across the globe use Straumann products to give patients the confidence to smile again – to laugh freely with friends, to eat the foods they love. Our mission is to change people's lives by giving smiles back. But while Straumann produces dental implants and everything related to them, it’s not the implants that change lives... it’s you, the dental professional, who does.

Now show us how YOU make your patients smile

Show us how YOU are changing the lives of your fully edentulous patients and how dentistry can give back confidence and improve the overall well-being of individuals. Please create and submit your best patient story, together with the clinical procedure and the patient's testimonial by 20th July 2022. All cases fulfilling the criteria will be submitted for public voting.

The jury: world-renowned thought leaders
