Thanks to the rapid development of such a field of dentistry as implantation, everyone can become the owner of full-fledged dentures that look natural. The choice of designs is large, so it is difficult to figure out which dental implants are better.
Before dental implantation, you need to consult a dentist, because each design has its own characteristics and is not suitable for every patient. Implants can vary in material, shape and size, so your preference alone is not enough to determine your choice. The specialist will offer several options from which you can choose. So that you can do this, let’s look at the features of implants from different manufacturers.

Switzerland is a leader in the production of implants
Swiss-made designs are considered the most expensive and high-quality. Specialists from the world's leading clinics prefer to work with systems from well-known companies such as Straumann and Nobel Biocare. Manufacturers are constantly improving technologies and finding new solutions to reduce the percentage of complications during prosthetics.
The advantages of Swiss implants include:
- high survival rate;
- variety of configurations;
- high quality material;
- precision manufacturing;
- aesthetics;
- use even in difficult cases.
The only significant drawback of these systems is their high price. Installation of such structures is not accessible to everyone. But if there is an opportunity, then the amount spent will be repaid by the long service life and stability of the prosthesis in the bone tissue.

AnyRidge - the best Korean implants
When studying the problem of which implants are best placed, one cannot fail to mention the AnyRidge system. Such dental implants are among the best products in the economy segment, as they have the following positive characteristics:
- Advanced Xpeed coating. When developing such a coating, calcium ions are used, due to which it is possible to significantly accelerate the rate of implant integration;
- Excellent strength indicators. The production process of the above dental systems involves pure titanium, which ensures their unsurpassed quality, excellent stabilization performance and the necessary compatibility with the body;
- Reliable contact with the transition element. In this case, the possibility of loosening of the prosthetic devices and loosening of the fastening screw is eliminated, which is facilitated by the use of a five-degree connection;
- Application of Knife Thread. The cone-shaped design allows for optimal chewing pressure;
- Increased comfort during fixation. During surgery, only one drill is used, due to which it is possible to reduce the degree of tissue trauma and significantly reduce the cost of the dental restoration procedure;
- Expanded surface. This ensures high-quality fixation of implants of various sizes. At the same time, there is no need to implement osteoplastic procedures;
- Perfection of aesthetic parameters. They are famous for their impeccable aesthetics, corresponding to natural analogues;
- Possibility of use in difficult cases. Universality of use is achieved thanks to a wide range of sizes of prosthetic devices.
Taking into account the above advantages, we can draw a clear conclusion to the question: “Which implants are better to install?” The manufacturer AnyRidge produces dental systems that are distinguished by their versatility in use, improved aesthetic characteristics and decent functional parameters.
Swedish implants Astra Tech
The key advantage of Astra Tech implants is their high degree of osseointegration. For this manufacturer, this parameter reaches almost 99%, which is facilitated by a clearly organized production process and the active use of modern technological solutions. Based on the nuances described above, the following conclusions can be drawn:
- Astra Tech systems can be used for a wide variety of clinical situations;
- They have an optimal and gentle effect on the jaw bone;
- Impeccable aesthetics and excellent functional characteristics;
- Prolonged result. Answering the question: “Which company’s implants are better?”, we can confidently give preference to Astra Tech systems. According to patients, their service life reaches 18-20 years, and with proper care they have a lifetime guarantee.
Considering various dental implants and trying to answer the question of which ones are better, we can conclude that Astra Tech designs are the best choice. They have practically no “cons”. But some specialists prefer another implantation system for the reason that they are more accustomed to working with it.
Zimmer Trabecular Implants
In order to clearly decide which implant is best to place, you should first of all pay attention to the technologies used in its manufacture. The Zimmer system is manufactured using a unique technique that creates a spongy surface. This allows for mutual integration of the implant and bone tissue in a shortened period of time.
Also, the competitive abilities of these structures include:
- Expanded contact area with the jawbone;
- There is the possibility of implantation even with significant bone tissue resorption;
- Accelerated process of fixation of prosthetic devices, which is achieved due to a shortened period of osseointegration;
- The use of a unique tantalum material, which is absolutely safe for the human body;
- The presence of an improved connection between the structure and the transition element, which promotes extremely strong contact of the constituent components and eliminates the possibility of penetration of pathogenic microorganisms.
2. Nobel Biocare - excellent aesthetics with high stabilization
In the manufacture of Nobel Biocare systems, a vacuum casting method is used, which provides the necessary strength and, at the same time, allows for the creation of a lightweight design. In the manufacture of Nobel implants, improved technologies are used that contribute to an accelerated process of osseointegration, even when implementing a one-stage implantation technique. Thanks to the porous coating, the probability of rejection of the structure is equal to 0.7%.
In addition, the manufacturer Nobel Biocare pays close attention to its reputation: the entire production process is subject to strict quality control. The company provides a lifetime warranty on all manufactured products. In this case, each implant model is assigned its own serial number.
The only negative point when choosing Nobel systems is the impressive cost. But all costs are recouped due to the impeccable quality of the installed products and the lifetime period of their operation.
Straumann - the best implants in the world
When faced with the choice of which Swiss implants are better, every patient must understand that getting an ideal result when restoring missing teeth is possible only with the Strauman system. These dental implants have no analogues. They are considered completely safe for the human body, are famous for their unsurpassed quality and can be used for life. This is evidenced by both patients and practitioners.
In addition, Straumann provides a number of training programs for doctors. In turn, patients note the following positive aspects when using these dental implants:
- Accelerated osseointegration. Through the use of innovative developments and active research activities, it is possible to achieve almost 100% survival rate;
- The ability to obtain impeccable results even in the most complex clinical cases. Certain Straumann models can be fixed even in the absence of the required bone tissue dimensions, as well as in the presence of limiting factors: elevated glucose levels, inflammatory liver diseases and tobacco abuse;
- Shortened procedure period. By giving preference to the Straumann system, you can always be sure that the time required for dental restoration will be minimal.
Due to close and direct cooperation with this Swiss manufacturer, we are ready to perform the implantation procedure at the lowest cost in the capital. Moreover, our dentistry regularly holds promotions, and regular visitors are provided with impressive discounts on products of this brand.

US made systems
America stands out in almost all areas, and implantology is no exception. Biohorizon and Bicon products are considered to be US developments. The rest of the American implants were developed by specialists from other countries. Today, the United States owns several of the largest European companies, including the Swedish Astra Tech. This allowed the Americans to take their rightful place in the world market. The systems are also expensive; of course, they are a little more affordable than Swiss ones, but not cheaper than German ones.
What criteria should a good implant meet?
- high survival rates: according to research data, today manufacturers in the premium segment can rightfully be proud of this quality - their survival rate in the long term reaches 100%, i.e. There are almost no cases of peri-implantitis or rejection,
- long-term aesthetics: as studies show, over the 5-10 years following implantation, the patient experiences marginal shrinkage, i.e. marginal bone located at the border of contact of the artificial root with the gum. This happens if the manufacturer did not take care of the quality of the design features - the processing of the neck of the metal “root”, the thread on it and the connection of the implant with the abutment,
- Warranties: most of the models presented have a lifetime warranty. But it is important to understand that despite this indicator, everything largely depends on many factors, the main ones being the professionalism of the doctor who performed the work and the responsibility of the patient himself. If you systematically violate oral hygiene and place inadequate loads on the structure, then you should not be surprised if problems arise even after 5 or 10 years after installation.
- availability of certification: ideally, each model should have its own separate serial number registered in the manufacturer’s database. It must be accompanied by an official quality certificate. This measure will help eliminate the risk of buying a fake and protect the patient,
- ease of installation: it is good when the implantation system makes it possible to do without surgery to build up bone tissue in case of atrophy, and the implants can be immediately loaded with a prosthesis. These are used mainly for one-stage implantation protocols. And again, this indicator works if the manufacturer implements software that allows 3D modeling of the treatment process in advance, creating surgical templates that greatly simplify the procedure for installing artificial roots, eliminating the risk of their inaccurate positioning in the bone.
And, of course, for many patients, the price of the implant often plays a decisive role. The attractive price makes you think and analyze the situation. To determine which price segment different implant models belong to, we suggest reading the article to the end.
Korea
Koreans offer modern and affordable systems for implantation. This allowed them to take a leading position in sales. Manufacturers Implantium and Osstem have gained worldwide fame. The choice of prosthetic configurations is quite diverse; they are used in different clinical cases. Korean implants are not as versatile as European and American ones.
Like any budget implants, Korean products have their drawbacks. These implants are not suitable for all patients, and the survival rate is high, but inferior to their European counterparts.
In our country, products from Korean manufacturers are popular because they are high quality and affordable.
Shape and features of the thread
Comparisons of implants used today are also carried out in terms of shape, size, and features of the thread on the body, neck and apical part. These parameters also influence the choice:
- Typically, two-part root-shaped rods of conical or cylindrical shape are used for installation in the jaw.
- When the hard tissue of the jaw is extremely soft, monolithic compression models are used. Thanks to a special type of thread, they compact the sparse bone during installation.
- In case of severe bone deficiency, long zygomatic and basal implants can be installed.
- Plate structures have a completely different shape and are not used for implantation today.
Israeli dental implants
Another economy class manufacturer is Israel. The MIS and Alpha Bio systems are widely known in Moscow and other regions of our country. They are reliable, easy to install, this option is the best solution for prosthetics of chewing teeth.
The disadvantages include limited application possibilities. The designs are not suitable for all patients; in some cases it is difficult to achieve maximum naturalness and aesthetics.
The price of Israeli implants is affordable for the average Russian, so these systems are used very widely. Practical experience in their use is the best indicator of quality.
Mis (MiS)
Medical Implant Solutions, the second largest manufacturer of products for implantology and prosthetics in Israel, produces implants under the abbreviation MIS.
The company produces 6 lines of implants, which can be divided into 3 groups depending on the tasks being solved:
- Root-shaped screws (V3, C 1, Seven, M4) - designed for installation in bones of various densities and are used for one-stage and two-stage implantation.
- Single-stage (UNO) - narrow pins in this series are designed for the restoration of anterior incisors using an implantation protocol with immediate or delayed loading.
- Temporary and orthodontic – used for temporary prosthetics for the period of engraftment of titanium roots or during orthodontic treatment.
MIS implants are well suited for uncomplicated cases with single and multiple defects of the frontal and chewing parts of the upper and lower jaw.
Limitations: the MIS model range does not have enough solutions for limited bone tissue and completely edentulous jaws.
What to choose
If your budget allows, Swiss implants will be your best choice. Their survival rate reaches 99%, and the unique design helps restore teeth even in the most difficult cases.
| Rating of dental implants by price | |
| Straumann, Astra Tech, Anthogyr | from 55,000 to 70,000 R |
| Xive, Nobel, BioHorizons | from 40,000 to 50,000 R |
| Osstem, MIS, Adin, Zimmer | from 20,000 to 35,000 R |
| Alpha Bio, Implantium, Niko | from 10,000 to 20,000 R |
If funds are limited, you need to take a closer look at budget implants. Find out from your dentist whether your anatomical features allow you to install a Korean or Israeli system. If so, why not opt for them. If budget systems do not allow high-quality restoration of the dentition in a particular case, then there is no alternative; you will have to choose the most expensive designs.
If you decide to place an implant, rely on the professionalism of a specialist. In some cases, you will be offered several options. If you cannot choose, ask your doctor about the features of the proposed systems and experience in using them.
Implantation is a surgical procedure, the recovery period after which is quite long. We must do everything possible for a favorable outcome. Do not rush to install an unknown system in a random clinic that has low prices. A high-quality implant installed by an experienced doctor will last for many years.
Swiss brand Nobel
SRC clinics choose reliability and quality. The products of the Swiss concern Nobel meet these criteria. Implants - artificial dental roots - from the Nobel brand have been installed for more than 35 years.
The Nobel brand produces the following lines of implants:
- Nobel Active is low-impact for soft bone structure.
- Nobel Replace with a modernized abutment shape and a special root body. An ideal option for replacing a front tooth, accelerated healing process during implantation after a long absence of a unit.
- Nobel Zygoma – pin installation is possible in the zygomatic bone.
- Nobel Speedy with TiUnite coating on the neck accelerates osseointegration, suitable for installation of All-on-4/6 systems.
In each case, for quality treatment, dental implants are selected after discussing the situation with the patient and a detailed examination.
