If you are missing a tooth and have already made the decision to have an implant, it is time to find out about the different brands on the market.
Both the manufacturer and the material from which the screw that will replace the root of your tooth is made influence the durability of the treatment.
Therefore, we want to tell you about Straumann implants, one of the most recognized brands, and the benefits it can give you in terms of quality and final result.
The brands of dental implants
There are currently more than 100 manufacturers of dental implants worldwide and, of course, not all of them have the same long-term efficacy.
However, they all have similar characteristics in terms of the material from which they are made: a titanium alloy.
This is a chemical element that is totally biocompatible with the human organism and therefore does not generate allergic reactions.
Once the brand has manufactured the dental implant, the screws are sent to a gamma-ray sterilization company, where they are also packaged.
In our dental clinic, we work with two of the most recognized European brands: Straumann and Avinent implants.
Differences between dental implants
The main difference between Straumann and Avinent implants lies in the spiral design and shape.
Both characteristics affect the screw attachment inside the dental bone and, at the surgical level, it may be convenient to opt for one type of implant or the other.
That is to say, taking into account the state of the mouth and where the tooth to be replaced is located, the dental implantologist will recommend one type or another.
While a more pronounced spiral may be aggressive in some cases, such as when the bone is softer, in others it may be the most suitable option to ensure the success of the treatment.
Similarly, another aspect to take into account is the fastening system before starting the prosthetic phase, i.e. before placing the dental crown.
There are two ways of attaching the sleeve to the implant:
Through an internal connection: this is convenient for placing only one crown.
Through the external connection: more appropriate method for placing more than one.

Characteristics of Straumann implants
Now that you know the surgical factors that the implantologist must take into account, it is not surprising to find more than 2 or 3 brands in a clinic.
In this way, and according to the individual requirements of each mouth, the specialist will be able to choose the most suitable brand and type of dental implant for the patient.
If we focus on Straumann implants, we can say that they only have models with internal connection.
That is why, even if a person prefers to have this brand, it is not always possible.
Let’s remember that the internal connection is the most recommended for the placement of a single crown, so if you need a prosthesis with more pieces, it is preferable to opt for the external connection.
The other brand we work with in our clinic, Avinent, does manufacture implants with both types of attachment, which we consider to offer greater versatility.
In this way, we ensure that we can treat all types of patients, no matter which is the best approach to their treatment.
Both Straumann and Avinent implants have the same durability. Their difference lies in the type of attachment and shape.
What other aspects should you consider?
Now that you know that Straumann and Avinent implants are a safe and reliable choice, it is time to focus on other factors before starting your treatment.
For implant surgery to go smoothly, it is important to choose a dental clinic with the right facilities and a professional you can trust.

Technical equipment and clinic technology
When placing the implants, the technique and technology used by the specialist have a great influence.
Therefore, our recommendation is that you do not go with the first clinic you find, but ask if they have less invasive ways of placing Straumann or Avinent implants.
Technique
At DrAW Clinic, we have the most advanced knowledge in implantology to improve the postoperative period and achieve longer lasting results.
Our patients have the option of requesting guided surgery, a technique that allows the specialist to plan the operation using a computer.
In this way, and through a custom-made splint, he knows exactly where the implant should be placed without the need for stitches.
Likewise, our implantologists apply the immediate loading technique, thanks to which a patient can recover his or her teeth in just one day.
Let us advise you
Even if you go to the dentist with the idea of Straumann implants, there may be another brand that suits your needs.
Technology
Technical equipment not only allows us to obtain a more accurate diagnosis, but also helps the dentist to place the implant.
Therefore, we have a dental CT scanner and a 3D intraoral scanner with which the patient has a more bearable experience in the clinic.
Specialized dental implantologist
It is obvious that the patient’s mouth must be in good oral health, but the skill of the dental implantologist is also a fundamental aspect.
We know that not all dentists can perform all dental treatments with the same success, so our implantologists are dedicated to their specialty exclusively.
