Consulting a Straumann implants in Turkey guide is the preferred route for international patients who refuse to compromise on quality regarding their dental health. Straumann is widely recognized as the “Rolls Royce” of dental implantology, setting the global standard for reliability and innovation. At Clinic Care Center, we offer this premium Swiss technology at costs significantly lower than the UK or US, without sacrificing authenticity or expertise.
The Science Behind the Price: Roxolid and SLActive
Why do Straumann implants command a higher price tag? The answer lies in proprietary engineering that defies standard biology.
- Roxolid® Material: Unlike standard implants made of pure titanium, Straumann uses a unique alloy of Titanium and Zirconium. This material is significantly stronger than pure titanium, which allows us to use smaller, thinner implants without risking fracture. This is a game-changer for patients with narrow jawbones, often saving them from the need for invasive bone grafting surgeries.
- SLActive® Surface: This is a chemically active, hydrophilic (water-loving) surface technology. It effectively attracts blood and cells to the implant immediately after insertion. This accelerates the Osseointegration (bone fusion) process dramatically, reducing healing time from the traditional 12 weeks down to just 3 to 4 weeks. This is critical for patients with diabetes or smokers who may have compromised healing abilities.
Clinic Care Center: Expert Warning (Authenticity)
Because Straumann is a premium brand, it is unfortunately a target for counterfeits. A real Straumann implant always comes with a digital or physical ‘Implant Passport’ containing a unique serial number. If a clinic offers you a Straumann implant for an unbelievably low price (e.g., €300), be extremely cautious. It may be a generic copy. At Clinic Care Center, we provide the original barcoded sticker from the sterile vial for every single implant we place, which you can verify on the official Straumann website.
Straumann (Premium) vs. Standard Titanium Implants
To decide if the investment is right for you, compare the technical specifications of a standard implant versus the Swiss engineered option.
| Feature | Standard Implant Brand | Straumann (Roxolid SLActive) |
|---|---|---|
| Material | Grade 4 Titanium. | Roxolid (Titanium-Zirconium). Higher tensile strength allowing smaller diameter. |
| Healing Time | 3 to 6 Months. | 3 to 4 Weeks. (Accelerated by SLActive Surface). |
| Bone Graft Need | Higher. Requires standard diameter to prevent breaking. | Lower. Can use thinner implants safely in narrow bone. |
| Success Rate | 95-97%. | 99%+. Supported by the best long-term clinical data in history. |
| Global Warranty | Varies by brand. | Lifetime Guarantee accepted by any Straumann certified dentist worldwide. |
BLX vs. BLT: Choosing the Right Model
Straumann offers specific designs for different clinical situations. Your surgeon at Clinic Care Center will choose the best fit for your bone type:
- BLT (Bone Level Tapered): The classic all-rounder. It mimics the shape of a natural tooth root and offers excellent stability in fully healed bone.
- BLX (Fully Tapered): The newest innovation designed specifically for Immediate Loading (“Same-Day Teeth”) and soft bone. Its aggressive thread design “bites” into the bone to ensure the implant doesn’t move, even right after surgery.
Frequently Asked Questions about Straumann
Is Straumann worth the extra money?
For complex cases, absolutely. If you have low bone density, are diabetic, or need a faster recovery, the reduced risk of failure justifies the cost. For straightforward cases with perfect bone, a standard implant may suffice, but Straumann offers peace of mind.
How can I check if my implant is real?
Every Straumann implant comes with a verification sticker inside the sterile packaging. We stick this into your “Implant Passport.” You can enter the serial number on the Straumann patient portal to verify its origin.
Can I get Straumann crowns in the UK later?
Yes. Straumann is the most universally recognized system. If you need a crown repair or maintenance 10 years from now, almost any dentist in the UK, USA, or Europe will have the tools to work on it.
Does it hurt less?
The surgical pain is the same (minimal, under local anesthesia), but the healing period is faster and more predictable, leading to less long-term inflammation.
Is it safe for diabetics?
Yes. In fact, the SLActive surface was specifically researched and proven to increase success rates in patients with compromised blood supply, such as diabetics or those who have undergone radiotherapy.
What is the lifetime warranty?
Straumann guarantees the implant screw itself for life. If it fractures or breaks (extremely rare), they provide a replacement implant free of charge. Note that this warranty covers the hardware, not the dentist’s labor or the ceramic crown.
