What Manufacturer is the Best for Dental Implants?

Is one manufacturer best than others when considering the type of 'post' for an implant procedure - i.e. OCO, Novel, 3i Biomet - I'm looking to replace a full mouth of dentures (upper/lower) but am unclear on how to research which type of titanium post is the best - I am 55 & dentures for over a year - is the only way to tell if I need bone graph thru a panoramic xray? what about immediate load vs. multi step procedure? Since my gums have had a year to heal would I be a candidate for implants?

Which implant companies are trusted?

I use Zimmer primarily, but also have 3i and nobel. All three companies are well respected, have great products, and lots of research and literature behind them. I do have concerns about some implant companies that do not have a lot of studies behind them and they market themselves as the cheaper (discount) option! These include implantdirect and osstem. I also have concerns about Bicon and their long term success and aesthetic results. It's best to discuss this with an oral... more

Major implant manufacturers all have good products

I think at this point the major implant manufacturers all have good products and get good results. I like Astratech, Zimmer and Straumann. Seeing an oral surgeon and getting a cone beam CT would be a good first step to see if you are ready for implants. see video

Best brand of dental implants

If you are looking for the "best" implant on the market you are going to be hard set in finding a winner. I would look for how long the company has been around (not good to have a ton of implants and then 10 years later realize the company is bankrupt and not making parts any more) You also want to see what grade of titanium is being used. grade 1 is the best but sometimes hard to find that info. I think that the big ones biohorizons, nobel, strauman, astra and 3i are all solid... more

Dental implant companies and "best" dental implant

The topic about implant manufacturers is very straight forward but however is extremely sensitive. Nowadays there are more than 150 different companies producing dental implants, those which have been on the market for 20+ years and the really young ones. The secrets of titanium alloy used for implants was released long time ago. And basically the type of alloy used for implants is the same in every company, but the major differences include: the type of the production, quality of implant... more

There isn't a best implant company

Each Dr uses his choice of implants for each case based on patient needs. Some dr's use 2-3 different brands because of its design and shape, so its not really viable to find the best company..

"best" dental implant company would be opinion

Every company will say that they are the best, and many companies are very comparable. Each type of implant has advantages and disadvantages and applications that are more appropriate (mini implants are great to stabilize a denture, but are not great for single crowns or bridgework). I like NobelBiocare for many applications, but there are other companies that work just fine. Some new companies are merely people from the older companies setting off on their own, so the... more
