For today’s patients, it is very difficult to understand, considering the large price differences in dental implants available on the market, why these differences exist and what they actually receive for the price they pay.

The most important factors to consider are the type of implant and who places it — whether the procedure is performed by an oral surgery specialist or not. There are inexpensive Chinese and Korean implants on the market that have a very low price, but their long-term durability cannot be compared with implants such as Nobel, Mis, and Straumann. At the Dental Estetic Studio dental clinic, implant placement is performed by an oral surgery specialist with many years of experience, who works with great precision and expertise. After implant placement, you receive a booklet with a certificate stating which type of implant was placed, and if needed, you can have procedures performed on these implants anywhere in the world.

Other differences in implant quality are:

1. The material from which they are made – whether dental implants are made of pure titanium or contain other components. The main characteristic of titanium implants is that they are completely biocompatible, meaning that the body accepts them as its own and rejection does not occur. It is also important that they do not contain additives such as nickel or cobalt, which can cause allergic reactions in certain patients and reduce the success of implantation. Due to their biocompatibility, titanium implants are resistant to corrosion compared to other types of materials and therefore ensure long-term implant durability.
2. The shape of the implant plays a major role in osteointegration and implant stability. One of the newest implants produced by the company Mis Implants, with whom we have been cooperating for a long time, is the V3 implant. It differs from other implants due to its triangular shape, which contributes to a better connection between the bone and the implant because it enables better integration and is ideal for the anterior region. It is extremely important that implants are clinically proven and reliable. In our clinic, we use only high-quality implants from leading global companies such as Nobel Biocare, Schutz Implants, and Mis, which invest significant time and resources into developing implants with excellent characteristics, minimal risk, and the highest possible success rate in implantology.
3. The surface treatment and threads of the implant – the external surface of implants can be processed and treated in different ways. The type of surface treatment affects the integration of the implant with the bone. It must be extremely precise in order to achieve successful osteointegration and allow the implant to be restored with an abutment and dental crown.
4. The type of external abutment and crown on the implant – it is extremely important that the abutment placed into the implant is manufactured with great precision because the connection between the abutment and the implant, as well as the connection between the crown and the abutment, is essential. The overall quality of prosthetic work on implants greatly affects the long-term success of the implant, and Dr. Knego has twenty years of experience in this field. In addition to all the above factors, the long-term success of implants is greatly influenced by excellent oral hygiene maintenance and regular check-ups with professional dental cleaning, especially the removal of dental calculus, which many patients neglect.
