Straumann implants

Straumann implants at AstraDent Warsaw – Swiss quality and durability

Straumann implants are a premium dental implantation system with high biocompatibility and osseointegration (bone tissue integration) indicators. Made of titanium or a unique Roxolid alloy, which is 15% stronger than standard materials. This allows us to install implants even with insufficient bone volume.

Tooth loss triggers bone atrophy. Due to the lack of chewing load, the alveolar ridge (part of the jaw bone in which the roots of the teeth are fixed) loses up to 25% of its height after just 12 months. The consequences of the changes are: displacement of neighboring teeth with subsequent bite disorders, impaired diction, drooping lips and wrinkles around the mouth, deformation of the facial contour.

Implantation is the only method that prevents bone destruction and changes in the shape of the facial skeleton. AstraDent offers comprehensive implantation using Straumann technologies. Premium dental implants in Warsaw have a special SLActive coating, which reduces the osseointegration period by 5-6 times. The risk of loss of artificial tooth roots is by 98.2% lower than in other systems.

Astra Dent has 18 years of experience in the field of implantology and over 10,000 successful tooth restorations. The medical center uses equipment from 2023: 3D tomography, physiodispenser, digital scanners, navigation surgery, piezosurgical device for gentle treatment of bone tissue. Implantation is carried out on a turnkey basis – from preparation to installation of orthopedic structures.

What are Straumann implants?

Straumann is a world leader in the production of premium dental implants. The company was founded in 1954 in Basel (Switzerland) and has been implementing innovative solutions in dentistry since then. Straumann products are in demand in 100+ countries around the world, and in total more than 20 million implants have been installed.

The brand collaborates with leading scientific centers – Harvard School of Dental Medicine and Mayo Center – and has more than 500 scientific publications in the field of implantology. Among the advantages of Straumann implants:

• Rapid healing thanks to SLActive. Standard titanium implants require 3-6 months to integrate with bone tissue. Thanks to the patented hydrophilic coating SLActive, the process is reduced to 3-4 weeks.
• High strength of materials. Roxolid is a unique alloy of titanium and zirconium, which is stronger than traditional titanium. This allows implants to be placed in cases of severe bone deficiency without prior plastic surgery.
• SLA surface technology for stability. The surface of artificial tooth roots is processed using the SLA method (Sandblasted, Large-grit, Acid-etched). The special microstructure stimulates the growth of bone-forming cells, which ensures high stability of the structures and long-term results.
• Bone Control Design technology. Straumann’s unique development minimizes bone loss around the implant. According to clinical observations by Clinical Oral Implants Research, bone mass is preserved 30% better than when using analogues.
• Lifetime warranty on implants. Straumann is one of the few companies that provides a lifetime warranty on implants. All products undergo multi-level quality control, and the rejection rate does not exceed 1.8%.

According to the International Team for Implantology (ITI), Straumann implants demonstrate 45% higher primary stability than standard titanium systems. This is extremely important for patients with insufficient bone mass and an increased risk of osteoporosis.

Who are Straumann implants suitable for?

Straumann implantation in Poland is a long-term solution for a healthy smile. The products of the Swiss company are adapted to a wide variety of cases:

• Loss of one or more teeth. Implants correct single and multiple defects in the dentition without grinding adjacent teeth (unlike bridges).
• Complete edentia (absence of all teeth). The Straumann system uses All-on-4 / All-on-6 technology, which allows us to restore all teeth on 4 or 6 implants.
• Bone deficiency. The Roxolid material (titanium + zirconium) allows us to use implants of a smaller diameter in conditions of insufficient bone mass. In many cases, this helps to avoid bone grafting.
• Patients with age-related changes in bone tissue. Bone Level Tapered technology minimizes bone loss after implantation and is suitable for people with impaired bone mineral density.
• Periodontal disease and periodontitis in medical history. Thanks to the SLActive coating, the risk of peri-implantitis (inflammation of the tissues around the artificial tooth root) is reduced by 60% compared to standard analogues.
• Those who want a premium solution with a lifetime warranty. In the event of a manufacturing defect, Straumann will provide a replacement even after decades.
• Patients with high aesthetic requirements. Implants provide a natural look thanks to the precise adaptation of the crowns and the use of metal-free abutments – transitional elements between the implant and the zirconium crown.

Astra Dent in Warsaw employs leading specialists with international qualifications who are constantly improving their skills. One of them is Ivan Moskovets. A specialist with 10 years of experience specializes in orthopedic prosthetics and smile reconstruction.

Straumann Implantation Process at AstraDent Warsaw

Implantation is a step-by-step process that requires precise planning and a professional approach. Astra Dent uses modern protocols that guarantee the safety and durability of the result.

Consultation and diagnostics

Diagnosis is performed using the latest equipment that allows us to assess the condition of the bone tissue, calculate the position of the implant and predict the consequences:

• Computed tomography is a mandatory stage that allows us to assess the condition of the bone tissue, determine its volume, density and possible anatomical features, for example, the proximity of nerves or maxillary sinuses.
• Digital scanning creates a three-dimensional model of the dentition for precise adaptation of the crown.

A comprehensive analysis allows us to eliminate risks and ensure a predictable result. This is an important stage that guarantees the safety of the procedure and the durability of orthopedic structures.

Surgical installation of the implant

The operation is performed under local anesthesia and takes from 30 to 60 minutes. Artificial tooth roots are installed with minimal tissue trauma, which accelerates healing. The procedure takes place in several stages:

• Anesthesia and preparation. Local anesthesia (Ubistesin, Septanest) or sedation is used (depending on the extent of the surgical intervention, concomitant diseases and the patient’s mental state).
• Formation of the socket. Using a piezosurgical device, a hole is made at the site of the screw installation.
• Implant fixation. The doctor controls the force and speed of installation of the artificial root using a physiodispenser.
• Installation of a gum former. At the final stage, a temporary titanium-zirconia structure is screwed into the internal thread of the implant to form the natural contour of the gums.

Thanks to innovative techniques, Straumann implantation at Astra Dent is quick, painless and with a minimal rehabilitation period.

Healing period and crown installation

After surgery, osseointegration begins – the implant gradually fuses with the bone tissue. The crown is installed in 3-4 weeks. The gum former is replaced with an abutment. The procedure is painless, as it does not affect the bone tissue.

The doctor makes a digital impression and based on it, a crown is made that repeats the shape, color and size of the natural tooth. Ceramic or zirconium materials are used. The finished crown is fixed on the abutment using dental cement or screw fixation.

Warranties and care recommendations

Straumann implants in Warsaw have a lifetime guarantee, and crowns and other orthopedic structures last up to ten years with proper care. It is important to maintain thorough oral hygiene:

• Brushing your teeth twice a day. Use an ultrasonic or electric toothbrush with soft bristles. It effectively removes plaque without the risk of injuring the gums.
• Using an irrigator. It cleans hard-to-reach places around the implant with a pulsating jet of water, which reduces the risk of inflammation.
• Using special dental floss or super floss. Regular floss is not always effective for cleaning around implants, so it is worth choosing a floss with a hard tip that passes between the teeth.
• Rinsing with antiseptic solutions. It is recommended to use chlorhexidine or alcohol-free rinses, which reduce the bacterial load without drying out the mucous membrane.
• Regular professional cleaning. Every 6 months, undergo ultrasonic or AirFlow cleaning at Astra Dent. It helps remove hard plaque and bacteria that cannot be removed at home.
• Nutrition control. Avoid chewing hard foods: nuts, crackers, lollipops. Excessive load can damage the crown or cause microcracks in the abutment.

Following the recommendations will help maintain oral health and ensure the durability of the Straumann implant.

How to take care of Straumann implants after installation?

Caring for a Straumann implant is no different from caring for natural teeth, but requires regular monitoring and professional hygiene. It is important to quit smoking, which slows down healing and increases the risk of peri-implantitis. It is also recommended to undergo professional cleaning every 6 months and visit a dentist to monitor the condition of the implant.
