Patients’ expectations
Whatever it takes – there is a solution.

Whether you are looking for high-end esthetic results, want to benefit from short treatment times, need a single-tooth replacement or a complete set of new teeth, your dentist can provide you with a dedicated solution based on our vast choice of implants, prosthetics, materials and modern digital technologies.

It’s got to be affordable

The cost of implant treatment varies depending on your case and expectations. Based on our vast options, ranging from the most sophisticated to the straight forward, you will find a premium solution tailored to your needs and financial situation. Whatever your needs and expectations, learn more about your possibilities and ask your dentist for details.

It must last

At Straumann we are proud of our scientifically proven excellence. For decades we have been committed to technological innovation and uncompromising quality. A retrospective study assessed the 10-year outcomes of Straumann titanium implants with a sandblasted and acid-etched (SLA) surface in a large cohort of partially edentulous patients. Three hundred three patients with 511 SLA implants were available for the examination. The retrospective analysis resulted in a 10-year implant survival rate of 98.8% and a success rate of 97.0%. Over the 10-year period, no implant fracture was noted, whereas six implants (1.2%) were lost. In addition, the prevalence of peri-implantitis in this large cohort of orally healthy patients was low with 1.8% during the 10-year period.1

High-end esthetics

Esthetics is one of the key triggers in mankind. Naturally, you are seeking high-end esthetic dental care. But what makes an esthetic new smile? The artificial tooth must be in harmony with the surrounding teeth. You want to have healthy gum tissue that covers the tooth’s roots and lines up naturally with the rest of your smile. The prosthetic parts should match in color, form and size. This demands a seamless collaboration of partners: dentist, dental laboratory and dental solutions provider. We all work towards one common goal - to provide patients with high-end esthetics and premium outcomes. Accordingly, we collaborate closely and co-create with world-leading dentists and dental labs, while making use of our own high-tech lab facilities.  

Implant treatment despite challenging health conditions

Growing clinical evidence of predictable performance of SLActive® in diabetic patients:

A prospective, case‑control clinical study that compared SLActive® performance in patients with and without diabetes (14 well-controlled and 14 non-diabetic individuals) showed uncompromised performance of SLActive® implants:

  • 100 % implant success rate in the diabetic group after 2 years
  • Bone changes similar to those in healthy individuals2,3

Shorter treatment time and immediate provisional teeth

Dental implant treatment requires a series of appointments and time for the implant to heal. In a so-called immediate procedure, the treatment can be shortened, and you won’t have to expose a tooth gap after implant placement.

Tooth removal (if required), implant placement and a provisional prosthetic restoration will normally be performed in one appointment session. The dentist will assess your dental and medical history, clarify your expectations and explain your different treatment options. For a successful immediate treatment procedure, it is vital that the dental implant(s) can be securely stabilized and anchored into the bone immediately when inserted.

Digital innovation for you

Digital innovation for you

The use of digital technologies is key in modern dentistry. They bring advantages for dental professionals, dental laboratories and, in the end, for patients.

Dentists can plan and verify in advance where to place a dental implant. Digitally produced surgical guides help the dentist place the implant. Intraoral scanners make the annoying dental impression obsolete in most cases.

Dental laboratories can design and produce your crown, bridge or complete set of new teeth using digital data of your mouth. They can do this in advance so that you may be able to receive your new teeth on the day of extraction. The results look highly esthetic as the laboratory can customize the restoration based on your individual situation.

These techniques are designed to make dental treatment more efficient, convenient and help save time and money.
 

Individual solutions for partially or fully edentulous patients

Edentulism is more present in all societies than many people think – and is often treated with dentures which can have their drawbacks. Today, more and more people are choosing dental implant solutions over dentures for smile restoration. Because one size doesn’t fit all, we provide a wide range of treatment options to restore your upper or lower jaw with dental implants and an entire dental prosthesis – according to your individual situation and your and your dentist’s choice.

Straight teeth with nearly invisible aligners

Straight teeth look esthetic, but wires and brackets don’t. Custom-fitted clear aligners may be an alternative to correct crooked teeth. Nearly invisible and comfortable to wear, clear aligners can correct tooth positions without the hassle of traditional orthodontics.
