...and now let's look at the available options in detail.

MegaGen AnyOne Implant – The Cost-Effective Solution

The MegaGen AnyOne implant type, while a lower-cost class product, is a reliable system with well-designed dimensions and a wide range of prosthetic options. Its use ensures simple surgical and prosthetic application. It can be used to replace a missing tooth or for the complete rehabilitation of a fully edentulous patient, whether for fixed restorations (bridges) or fixed dentures (locator retained dentures).

A product made of pure titanium with an Xpeed SLA surface. The head connects to the body of the implant via a short conical connection. The manufacturer's aim is to provide optimal conditions for bone tissue growth, as the goal is for bone cells to migrate to the surface of the implant during the healing period after implantation.

Available in various sizes, but no thinner than 3.5 mm in diameter, making bone grafting necessary in cases of narrow jaw ridges.

The required healing time is 5 months.

AnyRidge Implant – Premium Solution, suitable for immediacy

The AnyRidge implant is the premium type of MegaGen implants, representing the best dental implant system in the company's range. Due to its unique thread design, it is extremely versatile. It is specifically designed for immediate implantation and allows for immediate loading.

In the field of dental implants, it provides exceptional primary stability, even for the immediate replacement of molar teeth. This can accelerate the dental implant placement process.

Advantages of the MegaGen AnyRidge Premium Implant

Recommended for immediate implantation or, if bone grafting is necessary, for simultaneous use with bone grafting, making it the best implant in the manufacturer’s range. 

With this system, it is also possible to create an immediate temporary crown, allowing for immediate plastic restorations.

It can also be used with the proprietary surgical drill guide system (R2Gate - guided implantation), allowing placement in a position planned based on a dental CT, without the need for flap creation or sutures.

The required healing time is 3 months, after which the final dental restoration can be made.

The manufacturer provides a lifetime warranty for the product.

Straumann implant – Premium quality from Switzerland

Straumann GmbH is one of the Swiss implant manufacturers with the most established legacy. We use both the "tissue level" and "bone level tapered" types of Straumann implants, which provide solutions even in cases of unfavorable bone conditions.

In most cases, we use the Straumann Roxolid implant, composed of 85% titanium and 15% zirconium, which has 40% greater fatigue strength, making it the best dental implant from the manufacturer.

It can also be used simultaneously with bone grafting. Multiple implants can be placed to create a full bridge, or it can be used to secure a denture, stabilizing removable dentures. Based on our experiences, the locator system of Straumann is the most durable on the market.

Straumann implant Bone Level Tapered (BLT) Roxolid SLActive

The Swiss manufacturer's premium product features an advanced surface. The SLActive implant surface offers more favorable healing conditions compared to the traditional SLA surface.

• The material is high-strength Roxolid, allowing for availability in diameters as small as 2.9 mm. 
• The special surface of Straumann SLActive allows for loading after just 3 months of healing. 
• The premium-quality conical connection can be used with high reliability in any situation.

Astra Implant – Standard solution for non-immediate loading

The Astra Tech implant is a high-quality dental implant system designed and manufactured in Sweden. It is made from pure titanium with an Osseospeed surface. The long conical neck connection results in minimal micromovements around the implant. The manufacturer provides a lifetime warranty for the product.

The implant thread is not very aggressive, resulting in relatively low primary stability, which makes it less ideal for immediate implantation, and in soft bone surroundings. Consequently, the dental implantation process is slower. A diameter of 3.0 mm can be used with specific indications.

Advantages of the Astra Dental Implant:

• The design and surface treatment of the screw aid in healing and osseointegration.
• The long conical connection between the body of the screw and the abutment.
• Available from a diameter of 3.0 mm.
• Another advantage is its acceptable price.
• Operates on the platform shifting principle.

Disadvantage of the Astra Dental Implant:

• Not ideal for immediate dental implant placement.
• Not suitable for immediate loading.
• A healing time of 4 months is required.
• Not adequate under soft bone circumstances. 

It is strongly recommended that if you have missing teeth, you consult one of our implantology specialists, as the failure to replace lost teeth over time can lead to irreversible consequences.

At Helvetic Clinics, a team of skilled experts with international experience performs dental implant placements. They have extensive experience in the field of implantology, resulting in a long-term success rate of over 98%.
