High Quality Dental Implant Brands Used At Marylebone Implant Centre

At a time when dental implant brands are becoming more popular than ever, in the UK and worldwide, the implantology industry has a market value currently worth millions of pounds. 

With such a variety of options, how can the patient know which high-quality dental implant brands are right for them?

Although there are nearly 600 dental implant companies in the world, there are just a few companies that have sufficient research to back the claims of their products.

Why does dental implant material matter?

With such a large market for dental implant brands, dental professionals and implantologists have to carefully compare the differentiating factors between brands, namely dental implant materials and coatings.

This ensures they are giving patients the high-quality dental implant brands they expect, that will last a lifetime with proper care and good dental hygiene.

As such, the implant materials and coatings are of considerable importance, as choosing the wrong type can result in implant failure.

WHAT IS A DENTAL IMPLANT COATING?

Nowadays, most implants are manufactured to meet exacting designs, all of which improve functionality.

This includes having a rough or medium-rough surface which helps it to lock in the bone when implanted.

If an implant is too rough, it may leave gums prone to infection because of the increased risk of plaque build-up, so it needs to be carefully calibrated by the specialist dental laboratorians that manufacture them, sometimes to bespoke, patient-specific parameters.

Alongside this external roughened texture, modern advancements have allowed implant companies to introduce active biological substances to dental implant surfaces.

These implant coatings allow for quicker integration of the implant as part of osseointegration and greater resistance to infection, which is the most common reason implants fail.

WHAT ARE THE BEST DENTAL IMPLANT BRANDS?

At Marylebone Implant Centre, we use Straumann-brand dental implant systems in our dental implant treatments.

Straumann is a global leader in implant, restorative, and regenerative dentistry and has completed extensive pioneering research in the field of implant dentistry in collaboration with a range of leading clinics, research institutes and universities. 

Similarly, with a product range that includes titanium and ceramic porcelain dental implants and implant coatings, our patients can receive dental implant technology that speeds up essential areas like osseointegration and healing.

Straumann Dental Implants

Straumann SLActive: faster healing times and more predictability

The scientists at Straumann have researched the possibilities of significantly reducing healing time after insertion and enhancing predictability of the outcome, without additional risk to the implant integration. The outcome: Straumann SLActive, the ground-breaking and clinically proven implant surface.

This technology may cut healing time in half by initiating the bone formation process at an earlier stage, resulting in substantially improved implant stability. Furthermore, it improves treatment predictability in clinically challenging situations.

TITANIUM DENTAL IMPLANTS – STRAUMANN ROXOLID®

STRAUMANN ROXOLID®: LESS INVASIVE TREATMENT THANKS TO HIGHER STRENGTH

Implants are anchored in the jaw-bone like natural teeth. If there is not enough bone available, a bone augmentation procedure, called bone grafting is needed.

However, with Roxolid®, Straumann has developed a unique high-performance alloy (15 % zirconium and 85 % titanium) for dental implants that offers:

  • Higher tensile strength – for higher loads
  • Excellent osseointegration capabilities – to help implants fuse with the jawbone faster
  • Reduced invasiveness during treatment – thanks to a reduced diameter and shorter depth of implants, which can remove the need for bone grafting.

SPECIFIC STRAUMANN DENTAL IMPLANT SYSTEMS

ZIRCONIA DENTAL IMPLANTS

For patients seeking the ultimate in aesthetics, the Straumann PURE Ceramic implant combines reliable performance with PURE aesthetic results – thanks to the white dental implant and abutment system.

Offering reliable and successful alternatives to traditional titanium implants, Straumann PURE Ceramic implants offer zirconia-based treatment options for areas with thinner gums, helping to blend in existing teeth and dental implants.

Geistlich Materials

GEISTLICH BIOMATERIALS: BONE GRAFTING

Used for 95% of bone grafting procedures at MIC, Geistlich is a leader in dental biomaterials. 

Primarily, we use Bio-Oss® and Bio-Gide® in our bone grafting treatments. Used in tandem, Bio-Oss® and Bio-Gide® provide long-term implant survival rates and positive aesthetic results for Marylebone Implant Centre patients.

IS IT POSSIBLE TO GET A PORCELAIN DENTAL IMPLANT?

For patients seeking an increasingly natural appearance, a porcelain dental implant can seem like a good idea – and some clinics seem to offer this treatment.

However, it is important to note that dental implants featuring porcelain will only have a porcelain prosthetic tooth or crown – not in the dental implant screw or abutment itself.

This is because although porcelain is attractive and visually mimics natural teeth, it lacks the tensile strength needed by the dental implant and abutment.
