    The Two Giants of Dental Implantology

    When choosing premium dental implants, two names dominate the global market: Straumann (Switzerland) and Nobel Biocare (Sweden/USA). Both are available in India at significant savings.

    Straumann Implants

    Founded: 1954 in Switzerland Market Position: World's largest implant manufacturer

    Key Technologies:

    • SLActive® Surface: Reduces healing time from 6-8 weeks to 3-4 weeks
    • Roxolid®: Titanium-zirconium alloy for narrower, stronger implants
    • BLX System: For immediate loading protocols

    Best For:

    • Patients wanting fastest osseointegration
    • Narrow ridge cases
    • Immediate loading procedures

    Nobel Biocare Implants

    Founded: 1981 (invented the modern dental implant) Market Position: Pioneer with longest clinical track record

    Key Technologies:

    • TiUnite® Surface: Proven osseointegration over 40+ years
    • All-on-4® Protocol: They invented this technique
    • NobelParallel™: Versatile implant for all bone types

    Best For:

    • All-on-4/All-on-6 procedures
    • Complex cases
    • Patients wanting longest-proven track record

    Cost Comparison in India

    Implant BrandUSA/UK CostIndia CostSavings
    Straumann BLX$3,500 - $5,000$600 - $90080%
    Nobel Biocare Active$3,500 - $4,500$550 - $85080%
    Straumann BLT$3,000 - $4,500$500 - $80080%

    Which Should You Choose?

    Honestly, both are excellent choices. The difference often comes down to:

    1. Your dentist's expertise with a particular system
    2. Specific clinical requirements (bone density, immediate loading)
    3. Warranty terms (both offer lifetime warranties)

    The TrustedHeal Recommendation

    We partner with implantologists certified in BOTH systems. During your consultation, we'll recommend the best option based on your specific case—not brand preference.
