01

Why Are Dental Implants So Important?

Thanks to advancing implant technologies, we can now offer customized solutions for every patient. So which best dental implant brand is the most suitable option for you?

02

Innovations in the World of Dental Implants

Thanks to current technologies, exciting developments are taking place in the field of dental implants:

  • Smart Surface Technologies: New-generation implant surfaces are reducing osseointegration time to as little as 6-8 weeks.
  • Custom 3D Implants: Implants designed digitally to perfectly match the patient's jaw structure are being produced.
  • Navigated Surgery: With guided implant surgery performed with millimetric precision, the risk of complications is minimized.
  • Rapid Healing Protocols: Special surface treatments are making same-day implant procedures safer.

Expert Advice: New technologies do not always mean better. We prefer implant systems with clinically proven, long-term success data.

  • FDA/CE Approvals: Compliance with international safety standards
  • Osseointegration Success: Bone integration rates should be above 95%

Practical Usage Factors

  • Surgical Ease: Applicability for experienced surgeons

Implant Brands Used at Our Clinic

At Derya Dental Clinic, the following implant brands are applied based on case-specific factors:

BrandOriginSegmentClinical Preference Note
ImplanceTurkeyFDA-approved domestic brand; economical standard cases
Megagen AnyoneSouth Korea₺₺Tapered design; price-performance for standard cases
NeobiotechSouth Korea₺₺SLA surface; preferred in surgical practices
Megagen AnyridgeSouth Korea₺₺₺Knife-edge thread design; preferred in immediate loading cases
StraumannSwitzerland₺₺₺₺SLActive surface; preferred in immediate loading and aesthetic zone cases

💡 In cases requiring immediate loading (same-day temporary teeth), Megagen Anyridge and Straumann are predominantly preferred. Their high primary stability designs allow placement of a temporary prosthesis in the same session.

Brand selection is determined by Spec. Dt. Aykut Gurel based on factors such as bone density, immediate loading needs, aesthetic zone, and patient budget.


Mid-Range Imported Implants (Value Segment)

Options that combine high quality with affordable prices:

  • Osstem (South Korea): 97% success rate, economical pricing
  • Bego (Germany): German engineering, reliable performance
  • Megagen (South Korea): AnyRidge system, effective in low bone density
  • Dentium (South Korea): SuperLine series, wide diameter options

Turkish-Made Implants: Domestic Production

Quality implants manufactured in Turkey meeting CE standards:

  1. Implance: The first Turkish implant brand to receive FDA approval
  2. Nucleoss: High success rates, economical solution
  3. Bilimplant: Developed with domestic R&D
  4. Mode: Wide indication range

Our Clinical Experience: Domestic implants show comparable success to imported brands in standard cases. We especially prefer them for patients with budget constraints.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions

Which implant brand is the best?
The best implant brand varies depending on the patient's condition. We may prefer Straumann for anterior aesthetic cases, Nobel Biocare for complete edentulism, and Osstem for an economical solution. What matters is the correct diagnosis and appropriate brand selection.
Are domestic implants reliable?
CE-approved domestic implants are reliable. They show similar success rates to imported brands, especially in standard cases. They can be preferred for patients with budget constraints, but imported brands are more advantageous for premium cases.
How much do implant brands cost?
Premium brands range from 15,000-25,000 TL, mid-range from 8,000-15,000 TL, and domestic brands from 5,000-10,000 TL. Prices may increase depending on additional procedures and prosthesis type.
Are there zirconia implants?
Full zirconia implants are rarely used. Generally, a zirconia crown is placed on a titanium implant. This combination provides ideal results in terms of both durability and aesthetics.
Can an implant brand be changed?
If an existing implant fails, it can be removed and replaced with a different brand. However, this requires additional surgery and may cause bone loss. Therefore, making the right choice initially is important.
Is Osstem implant good quality?
Osstem is one of the most widely used implant brands worldwide. With a 97% success rate and more than 10 years of clinical data, it is a reliable option that stands out for its price-performance balance. In standard cases it gives results close to premium brands.
What do patients say about domestic implant brands?
CE-certified domestic implants (Implance, Nucleoss) achieve a 93–96% success rate in standard cases — a reliable alternative for budget-conscious patients. Imported brands give more predictable results in anterior aesthetic cases and difficult bone conditions.
Which implant brand is best for me in 2026?
There is no single "best" brand — the right choice depends on the individual case. For anterior aesthetic zones we recommend Straumann; for full edentulism Nobel Biocare (with All-on-4); for price-performance Osstem; for budget-conscious cases Implance or Nucleoss.
Do you accept international patients for implant treatment?
Yes. We treat patients from across Europe, the UK and beyond. We provide written estimates in EUR or GBP, support with travel and accommodation coordination, and remote follow-up via WhatsApp and email after you return home. The team's working English level is B2 across all four dentists, with translation support available throughout the visit. --- > Specialist Dt.
