Straumann implants are considered the best dental implants in the world

Straumann implants advantages

In collaboration with leading clinics, research institutes and universities around the world, Straumann has been researching and developing high-techdental implants, surgical instruments, prosthetic components and biomaterials for oral tissue regeneration since 1974.

Straumann’s products and services are available in more than 70 countries. This standard of excellence certainly allows dentists to offer their patients less traumatic, less invasive treatments with predictable long-term results, both aesthetic and functional.

Straumann implants are manufactured with three basic requirements in mind: reliability (scientific research), simplicity (ease of use) and versatility (diverse applications).

The brand has an extensive range of implants with different sizes, diameters, angles, material composition and surface technologies, which considerably increases the possibilities for rehabilitation in various situations.

Straumann Implants Technologies

Regarding the level of implant positioning compared to the bone and gingiva:

  • Straumann Soft Tissue Level Implants – higher tooth connection implants, at gingival level.
  • Straumann Bone Level Implants bone level implants with internal connection, with the aim of preserving bone and gum tissue, as well as favoring aesthetic results.

Regarding the material that makes up the implant and its healing time

  • PURE Ceramic impl ants – pure white ceramic, zirconia implants that are mainly indicated for the anterior region of the arch. This provides a better aesthetic result for the treatment (estimated healing time = 2 months)*.
  • SLActive implants – implants with surface technology that not only favors but also accelerates the osseointegration process (estimated healing time = 21 days – 1 month)*
  • Roxolid SLA implants implants made with titanium and zirconia reinforcement. They are small in size and highly resistant, making them ideal for patients with little bone volume (estimated healing time = 2 months)*.

* According to the manufacturer. Compliance with the deadline will depend on other factors such as the quality of the bone, the presence or absence of a bone graft, associated tooth extraction, infections at the site and insertion torque.

Regarding the type of connection between the implant and the dental prosthesis – type of platform

  • Cone Morse connection – a locking system that favors better stability of the tooth and thus prevents it from loosening in the future. In addition, the cone-morse connection promotes a better seal in the implant-tooth connection, reducing infiltration and the number of bacteria around the implant. This effect is known as Platform Switch in scientific literature.

Straumann short implants

Straumann Standard Plus Short (SPS) implants are the shortest implants available on the market (they are only 4mm long) and are especially suitable for patients who, for whatever reason, find themselves with limited bone availability.

Straumann implants

The lack of sufficient bone height in the mandible contraindicates the use of normal-length implants, unless this height is first reconstructed with bone grafting. The most common cases that compromise bone availability are:

  • Severe mandibular bone resorption – very common in people who have been edentulous for many years;
  • Poor bone quality; History of periodontal disease;
  • Patients with other medical conditions, such as diabetes, osteoporosis, etc.
  • Poor bone quality;
  • History of periodontal disease;
  • Patients with other medical conditions, such as diabetes, osteoporosis, etc.

  • Patients with other medical conditions, such as diabetes, osteoporosis, etc.

Short implants for difficult rehabilitation cases

These implants give the dentist more confidence to recommend them to patients who were not previously candidates to receive them. They also improve the predictability of treatment and the chances of acceptance.

Because these implants are very versatile for use in patients with compromised bone availability, the indication of bone grafting for vertical reconstruction can be dispensed with in many cases, offering greater peace of mind and speed of treatment. Standard Plus Short implants are indicated for:

  • Fixed partial dentures/units with splint (one implant per unit);
  • Cases of pontics in combination with a longer implant;
  • Totally edentulous cases with at least two SPS implants in combination with two longer implants in the anterior region.

Straumann Standard Plus Short (SPS) implants are made from a titanium-zirconium alloy called Roxolid, which is proven to be stronger and better than pure titanium.

They also have a surface with SLActive technology which facilitates the start and acceleration of the osseointegration process. The indication of this or other dental implant models is subject to professional analysis of each case.

Straumann implants price

It’s common to be asked about the price of Straumann dentalimplants online. However, the price varies according to the clinical indication, the need for grafting or not, the number of implants used and the professional.

That’s why the price of a Straumann dental implant can only be estimated once the patient has been assessed in person. We are talking about the best brand of dental implants, accepted by patients who want the best for their dental treatment.

Slactive Straumann rapid healing implants. Favorable cases can be rehabilitated in just 1 month

Tooth replacement in just 1 month with Straumann implants and CAD/CAM crown

In selected cases, it is possible to install a dental implant with a CAD/CAM-designed crown within 1 month. This is possible because the ImplArt Clinic works with Straumann Slactive implants.

These implants have surface technology that favors and accelerates healing and the biological interaction between implants and bone (osseointegration). It’s worth remembering that dental implant surgery doesn’t hurt at all, and that implants can be placed at the same time as the bad tooth is extracted.

Successful osseointegration is certainly what guarantees the stability of the implant to support the prosthesis and the masticatory load over the years. With normal implants, osseointegration usually takes place between 6 and 8 months, while with Straumann Slactive implants the healing time can be reduced to 3 to 4 weeks (21 days).

Temporary prosthesis for healing and aesthetics

During this healing period, the patient wears a temporary prosthesis so that they don’t lose their tooth. In the meantime, our prosthetics laboratory carries out the digital CAD/CAM design and makes the definitive prosthesis using 3D printers.

The project starts with a digital mold that is taken using an intraoral scanner, an intraoral camera that captures precise images inside the patient’s mouth. This way, with these three-dimensional images, it is possible to design a prosthesis with the best fit and perfect shape for each need.

The prosthesis is made using a 3D printer. It can be made of porcelain, a very resistant, aesthetic material comparable to natural human teeth, and with a metal or zirconia internal structure.

It is worth noting that the possibility of installing a dental implant and definitiveprosthesis in just one month is only possible in selected cases. An assessment by our specialized team will determine this possibility taking into account certain characteristics, such as the volume of bone available and the patient’s general state of health.

Fixed dental prosthesis for Straumann implants

The rapid installation of a dental implant with a permanent crown restores chewing ability, the aesthetics of your smile and the confidence to speak and smile. The decision on which implant is best for you will be made between you and your ImplArt dentist.

The advantages and disadvantages of each system will be presented so that the choice can be made carefully. ImplArt Odontologia relies on all this technology to promote the treatment of its patients.

Full Arch Dental Implants – All-on-4 – All-on-6 – All-on-X

Full Arch Dental Implants is a Full Mouth Reconstruction treatment, that can be done in the mandible (lower arch) and maxilla (upper arch), although there are important anatomical differences that interfere with the planning of dental implant surgery. Fixed prostheses on dental implants can be made of Zirconia, Pure Zirconia, Porcelain(metal-ceramic), as well as Resin.

This treatment is also known as Fixed Full-Arch Prosthesis or Implant-Supported Denture. This type of implant treatment for all teeth, allows patients to regain their smile and chew.

Dental implant surgery is currently a fairly straightforward operation, carried out in an office or hospital environment, with hospitalization for the patient’s comfort. Implants make it possible to replace missing teeth even in large areas of the arch, including in patients with all their teeth compromised by periodontal disease.
They can also be used in patients with bone loss, who may need bone grafting before or during the installation of the dental implant.

It is important to note that there are currently different types of dental implants, and the most modern ones, cone morse implants, allow for faster healing.

Full Arch Dental Implants . Implant-Supported Denture step by step

With regard to the end result, the aim is to obtain fixed dental prostheses that will remain supported on the implants. This will allow the patient to regain their masticatory function and aesthetics.

Of course, as Fixed Full-Arch Prosthesis are screwed onto dental implants, the result is a very efficient dental prosthesis for chewing, as well as excellent aesthetics and comfort.

It is therefore a much better solution than a removable prosthesis, as it provides excellent fixation and stability. In the upper arch, the full arch dental implants treatment has the added advantage of completely uncovering the palate (roof of the mouth), which improves patient comfort.

Unlike removable prostheses (dentures), which cover the roof of the mouth to allow them to be fixed and make it difficult to perceive the taste of food, All-on-X prostheses with implants are thin and occupy only the region of the dentition, leaving the rest of the mouth free, similar to the situation found when there are natural teeth. Currently, the most modern materials are the Zirconia Fixed Full-Arch Prosthesis and the Porcelain Prothesis on a Full Arch DentalTreatment.

Full Arch Dental Implants .Examinations and planning

After radiographic examinations and a CT scan of the jaws, the dental implant specialist will be able to analyze the ideal planning for the case and thus indicate bone complements such as grafts to better prepare the bone if necessary.

The jaw bone (lower arch) is more rigid and resistant, so dental implants can be installed in most cases. The upper jaw bone, on the other hand, is less dense and delicate and has a more complex anatomy.

Certainly the proximity to the nose, the maxillary sinus cavities and the greater bone loss require further study.

Full Arch Dental Implants With or Without Bone Graft ?

If bone grafting is necessary, don’t be alarmed – it’s very common. Of course, dental grafting for full archa implants is not necessarily complicated, invasive or large. On the contrary, most of the time the bone graft for a full arch implant is simple, small and restricted to the position of the implant.

Less invasive implant surgery: in our clinic we use current concepts of minimally invasive surgery for dental implants, which make the procedure faster and offer greater comfort during the procedure and especially during the healing phase of the dental implant.

Computer-guided implant surgery: this is a type of dental implant surgery offered at our clinic that is planned by computerized scans of the jaws.

For example, computed tomography, in conjunction with a digital mold of the arch (scanner), generates guides for the quick and safe positioning of implants. Click here to learn more about guided surgery for total implants.

Full Mouth Reconstruction Prosthesis and other types

Certainly the most common prosthesis for implanting all the teeth in a full arch is the so-called protocol prosthesis. This is a resin prosthesis with a metal reinforcement bar inside.

Over time, however, more modern ways of making complete implant prosthesis have emerged. At the ImplArt Dental Clinic, we offer more technological implant materials, which are completely made on our premises and in our own dental prosthesis laboratory (see more):
