About Dental Implants
What is a dental implant?
Dental implants are small titanium screws designed to replace the root portion of a tooth and restore the physical appearance and the chewing function of patients with partial or full tooth loss. Straumann dental implants are intended for use in either the upper and/or the lower jaw to support prosthetic devices, such as artificial teeth. By integrating with the jaw, they enable restorations that range from replacement of one single tooth to an entire arch of bridgework, or as stabilizing elements for overdenture applications. Straumann manufactures dental implants from titanium, which is both biocompatible and strong.
Are dental implants successful?
With more than three decades of clinical experience and over a million patients treated, crowns andbridges supported by Straumann implants are highly successful. Ourstatistics confirm a success rate of nearly 95 percent for individual implants* – even higher for the bridges they support. Dental implants placed in our first patient 35 years ago are still functioning today!

How much do implants cost?
The fee for tooth replacement with dental implants will depend on several factors, including the number of teeth being replaced and the number of implants required to support your replacement teeth. Some additional procedures may be required prior to the placement of your dental implants to ensure the long-term health of your dental implants. Typically, there is a fee for the surgical procedure and a separate fee for attaching the posts and constructing your replacement teeth. To obtain a specific fee estimate, it is necessary to have a doctor examine your mouth. After a thorough diagnostic examination, your dentist will recommend the treatment that is best for you.
