Thanks to the rapid development of such a field of dentistry as implantation, everyone can become the owner of full-fledged dentures that look natural. The choice of designs is large, so it is difficult to figure out which dental implants are better.
Before dental implantation, you need to consult a dentist, because each design has its own characteristics and is not suitable for every patient. Implants can vary in material, shape and size, so your preference alone is not enough to determine your choice. The specialist will offer several options from which you can choose. So that you can do this, let’s look at the features of implants from different manufacturers.

Switzerland is a leader in the production of implants
Swiss-made designs are considered the most expensive and high-quality. Specialists from the world's leading clinics prefer to work with systems from well-known companies such as Straumann and Nobel Biocare. Manufacturers are constantly improving technologies and finding new solutions to reduce the percentage of complications during prosthetics.
The advantages of Swiss implants include:
- high survival rate;
- variety of configurations;
- high quality material;
- precision manufacturing;
- aesthetics;
- use even in difficult cases.
The only significant drawback of these systems is their high price. Installation of such structures is not accessible to everyone. But if there is an opportunity, then the amount spent will be repaid by the long service life and stability of the prosthesis in the bone tissue.
Implants Nobel Biocare (USA)
Nobel Biocare has been around for over four decades. Their main office is located in Switzerland. Manufacturing laboratories are located in the USA. Their products are highly effective and come with a lifetime warranty. Products are numbered, which prevents counterfeiting. Other advantages:
- Nobel products have an almost 100% survival rate.
- The shape of the products is anatomical and round, as well as other configurations.
- Nobel is installed even in those patients who have minimal bone volume.
- The special surface accelerates survival even in difficult situations.
- Restoration of masticatory organs for any clinical picture.
- Nobel is installed in the form of single crowns and units of the entire dental system.
Product components are made from materials that do not oxidize. They are perfectly compatible with all tissues of the oral cavity. The company's designs are ultra-strong, they are no different from natural chewing organs.
US made systems
America stands out in almost all areas, and implantology is no exception. Biohorizon and Bicon products are considered to be US developments. The rest of the American implants were developed by specialists from other countries. Today, the United States owns several of the largest European companies, including the Swedish Astra Tech. This allowed the Americans to take their rightful place in the world market. The systems are also expensive; of course, they are a little more affordable than Swiss ones, but not cheaper than German ones.
How important is the manufacturer of a dental implant and its reputation?
Try to pay close attention to the choice of implant manufacturer. Ultimately, the quality of the products depends on his integrity.
Clinical sites and training centers
The official representative of the company must have its own clinical base and service center in the country where it supplies its models and components. It is also desirable that technical support and training of doctors be provided. Specialists should have the opportunity to gain new knowledge regarding manufactured models, exchange experience with foreign colleagues, and undergo certification.
For example, in order to have the right to use a brand like Biomed in his work, it will not be enough for a doctor to take courses; he will need to visit Europe more than once. After all, the manufacturer insists on going through a multi-stage training system and cares about its reputation. The doctor should not have the right to make mistakes, so he will not receive a certificate until he has honed his skill level so much that the company can trust him.
Good to know! Companies that have earned great trust from patients and doctors in the implantation industry spare no expense in researching and improving their products. They publish materials on their official websites, as, for example, Nobel does . Please note that a company that sells truly high-quality products must have an impressive track record. If it exists for only a few or even ten years, then it is too early to talk about any lifelong operation - there is simply no evidence for this.
Software and proprietary implantation techniques
Among other things, the manufacturer must have computer programs that help specialists approach the planning stage of the implantation procedure more carefully and eliminate any risks and errors. For example, Nobel has software - NobelClinician, NobelGuide, Straumann has Exocad.
Also, some companies, together with the implant models they produce, are developing their own complexes that help patients around the world solve the problem of edentia quickly and at a favorable cost. A striking example of this is again Nobel with all-on-3 or all-on-4 implantation complexes, and its direct competitor Straumann with solutions on 4-6 Pro Arch implants is not far behind.

It is also important that manufacturing companies provide a full range of materials for implantation - active membranes and bone substitutes, tools for installing implants, different models for certain clinical cases and, of course, abutments for all occasions. Only then will it be possible to use one system to solve certain clinical problems, obtaining the most worthy and durable result.

Korea
Koreans offer modern and affordable systems for implantation. This allowed them to take a leading position in sales. Manufacturers Implantium and Osstem have gained worldwide fame. The choice of prosthetic configurations is quite diverse; they are used in different clinical cases. Korean implants are not as versatile as European and American ones.
Like any budget implants, Korean products have their drawbacks. These implants are not suitable for all patients, and the survival rate is high, but inferior to their European counterparts.
In our country, products from Korean manufacturers are popular because they are high quality and affordable.
Rating of the best implants - TOP 10 models
If you are deciding which dental implants are best to choose in terms of quality and successful experience in practice (and not just price), then the rating will be distributed as follows - see the table:
| Brand/company | Level of marginal bone subsidence | Surface Features | Survival rate |
| Nobel Biocare | There is no resorption in the first 5 years, but in 10 years the level decreases by 0.3 mm | Hydrophilic TiUnit active surface coated with phosphorus ions | Up to 99.3% (10 year perspective) |
| Straumann | Subsidence of 0.45 mm over 5 years | SLActive surface with hydrophilic properties | 97-99.2% (10 years) |
| Astra Tech | Maximum subsidence over 5 years is about 0.3 mm | Active hydrophilic OsseoSpeed surface with fluoride ions. | 94-100% (10 years) |
| Ankylos | Up to 0.6 mm in 3 years | Volumetric surface with a large number of micropores FRIADENT Plus | 94-100% (8 years) |
| XiVE | No data available | 95-99% (5 years) | |
| M.I.S. | 0.7 mm in 1 year | SLA – rough and microporous surface | 97.3% (5 years) |
| Alpha Bio | No data available | Microporous coating NanoTec | 98.3% (5 years) |
| Osstem | Up to 0.8 mm in 5 years | Surface with hydrophilic properties | 96-98% (5 years) |
| Implantium | On average, resorption is 0.45 mm over 1 year | Classic SLA surface (rough) | 98% (5 years) |
| Biomed | No data available | For solid ones - smooth with antimicrobial coating | 96-98% (5 years) |
Israeli dental implants
Another economy class manufacturer is Israel. The MIS and Alpha Bio systems are widely known in Moscow and other regions of our country. They are reliable, easy to install, this option is the best solution for prosthetics of chewing teeth.
The disadvantages include limited application possibilities. The designs are not suitable for all patients; in some cases it is difficult to achieve maximum naturalness and aesthetics.
The price of Israeli implants is affordable for the average Russian, so these systems are used very widely. Practical experience in their use is the best indicator of quality.
How to choose between root substitutes from two manufacturers?
So, what should you prefer, Korean or Israeli dental implants? Some experts believe that higher quality artificial roots are produced in Korea. But you need to understand that for successful implantation it is important not only to use reliable implants, but also to carry out this operation in a clinic with a good reputation and experienced specialists. Accurate adherence to the treatment protocol and the correct choice of model are also of great importance.
With increased bone density, it is advisable to choose Israeli implants for installation, which have a less aggressive thread and are made in the shape of a cylinder. Korean root substitutes are also less suitable for restoring anterior teeth, due to possible bone atrophy around the implant and further subsidence of the gums.
The choice of country of manufacture and implant model is best done with an experienced dentist. The doctor will suggest the best options based on the specific characteristics of the clinical situation.
What to choose
If your budget allows, Swiss implants will be your best choice. Their survival rate reaches 99%, and the unique design helps restore teeth even in the most difficult cases.
| Rating of dental implants by price | |
| Straumann, Astra Tech, Anthogyr | from 55,000 to 70,000 R |
| Xive, Nobel, BioHorizons | from 40,000 to 50,000 R |
| Osstem, MIS, Adin, Zimmer | from 20,000 to 35,000 R |
| Alpha Bio, Implantium, Niko | from 10,000 to 20,000 R |
If funds are limited, you need to take a closer look at budget implants. Find out from your dentist whether your anatomical features allow you to install a Korean or Israeli system. If so, why not opt for them. If budget systems do not allow high-quality restoration of the dentition in a particular case, then there is no alternative; you will have to choose the most expensive designs.
If you decide to place an implant, rely on the professionalism of a specialist. In some cases, you will be offered several options. If you cannot choose, ask your doctor about the features of the proposed systems and experience in using them.
Implantation is a surgical procedure, the recovery period after which is quite long. We must do everything possible for a favorable outcome. Do not rush to install an unknown system in a random clinic that has low prices. A high-quality implant installed by an experienced doctor will last for many years.
Average cost implants
Dental designs in the mid-price segment are inferior to premium ones in some respects. These are high-quality implants that take root well in the gums. Their use rarely causes complications. Prosthetics using them is cheaper. The cost of mid-price implants is 25-35 thousand rubles.
This category includes:
- Oraltronics
(Germany). German titanium implants with double FBR coating. They are characterized by fast and good survival rate and high primary stability. This allows you to speed up implantation, reducing the time between prosthetic stages. They have almost no contraindications; the bone settles minimally during implantation. - SuperLine
(South Korea, USA). The Dentium brand is from South Korea, and the system is developed at facilities in the USA. Installation of SuperLine implants is characterized by minimal trauma and rapid survival. Thanks to the special design of the double threaded rod, it is suitable for use in clinically difficult cases. Forms a single system with bone tissue. The model range includes both standard implants and products for one-stage implantation. - Anyridge
(South Korea). The systems of this brand are distinguished by simple and low-traumatic installation for the patient. With their help, you can carry out prosthetics even immediately after tooth extraction. They have practically no contraindications; they can be installed in dense and loose bone tissue, with a narrow bone or lack of height. The rod takes root quickly and is highly stable. The surface of the rod is coated with calcium ions, which accelerates healing. - ROOTT
(Switzerland). Implants for one-stage installation. They are used when two or more teeth are missing in the dentition. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia in one visit to the doctor. The rehabilitation period is about 3 weeks. The main advantage of this system is the absence of contraindications. It can be installed for any condition of bone tissue, for periodontal diseases. - Bicon
(USA). Bicon systems use a screwless connection. The abutment can be positioned 360 degrees. This makes the system one of the best in its segment. The procedure is minimally invasive. The rod takes root quickly and well, forming a single system with the bone tissue. - BioHorizons
(USA). Suitable for use in difficult cases - with loose bone tissue, in conditions of limited interdental space, etc. The shape, which follows the root of the tooth, facilitates installation and allows the use of implants even immediately after removal.

German quality Ankylos
German Ankylosis implants, used in the clinics of the German Implantology Center, are distinguished by a special thread and a special type of porous surface, which is patented. The thread of the implants is arcuate. Ankylosis implants have an ideal fit of the gingival part, which makes the product in demand for the restoration of the frontal row. Artificial roots of this German brand take root approximately 2 times faster than inexpensive implants used in other clinics such as Impro and Biohorizons. Clinical and practical observations show that Ankylos implant systems are stable in bone even decades after their installation.
Recommendations from specialists for postoperative care
The success of implantation largely depends on how pedantically the patient follows the surgeon’s recommendations in the postoperative period. Doctors advise not to eat, drink, or rinse your mouth for 3 hours after surgery. During the first month, you cannot do heavy physical work, play sports, visit the bathhouse, sauna, beach, or solarium. The diet after surgery should be gentle; food and drinks should not be hot or cold, sticky or hard. During the first week, food should be taken pureed, alcohol should be excluded, and smoking should be limited.
If pain occurs, you should take a painkiller. If pain occurs after a few days, swelling appears, then you should urgently consult a doctor. As a rule, after surgery, the surgeon prescribes a course of antibiotic therapy. Antibiotics are needed to prevent the proliferation of pathogenic microflora and prevent infection from penetrating the installed implant. The doctor will also recommend rinsing the mouth with antiseptic solutions (3 to 4 days after surgery).
Note: Neglecting the doctor’s recommendations can cause implant rejection, tissue inflammation, abscess formation, and blood poisoning.
