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?
Answer: It depends on situation Different manufacturers make very different implants for various clinical conditions. Some are short and fat to go in bone near a sinus. Some are narrow to fit between front teeth. Some integrate very quickly. Some can be loaded immediately. All implants sold in the US are good. Some better than others in certain situations.

Answer: "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 new implants are clones of the old. They both work.
A pano is not enough to determine if implants are an option. A tomograph will be needed (3D cone beam technology is standard, something like an iCAT image).
Immediate load has many applications, but the traditional and more predictable method is to load after the implant has integrated and healed.

Answer: Best dental implant Great question! All implants in the USA meet specific regulatory guidelines. The different designs of the implant are for different clinical scenarios. I would say that the skill of the surgeon and the case treatment planning are more important for determining clinical success than who manufactured the implant. Good luck!

Answer: What Manufacturer is the Best for Dental Implants? Thank you for your question. There are several great brands of implants. Nobel Biocare is considered to be one of the best. One of the criteria implants are graded is an amount of titanium in the implant. Higher the percentage the better. CT scan is the best way to determine a need for a bone grapht. Nowadays most people can have dental implants done and enjoy a comfort of having a great meal with new teeth.

Answer: Best Dental Implant Brand? There are hundreds of dental implant manufacturers available from around the world. Many dentists use the brand that they are the most comfortable with. A dental implant that uses pure titanium, maintains biocompatibility and has many studies backing their product is superior to others. Ultimately, the dental implant’s proper placement is the biggest factor will help create the most successful outcome for the patient. Without the skill of the surgeon an excellent product could be useless. Find a great surgeon with high patient success rates and you should be in good hands.
