Dental Implants Abroad: The Best Solution for Replacing Lost Teeth

When there is no hope of saving the tooth and your dentist says it must be removed, getting a dental implant abroad is the best treatment option available.

Hi, my name is Josif and I'm the founder of Dentaturism & Patient Care Specialist.

Next, I will provide you with some information about what a dental implant is, when this treatment is recommended, what the best dental implant brands are, and how a procedure takes place.

Before diving into the details about dental implants, let me emphasize a key point:

A natural tooth is more valuable than gold. If you can save your tooth through a root canal or gum surgery, it’s always the best option. But if the tooth is beyond saving and your dentist recommends extraction, then dental implants abroad are the next best treatment solution.

What is a dental implant?


Replacing lost teeth is essential not only for improving aesthetics but also for restoring the functions of the dento-maxillary apparatus.

A dental implant is a prosthetic device, usually made of pure titanium, that replaces the lost tooth. Titanium is a lightweight, highly durable, and biocompatible material, meaning your body generally adapts to it very well. In fact, allergies to titanium are quite rare.

When discussing dental implants abroad, it's important to understand that the treatment concept involves a system composed of three essential parts:

  • The Implant: the titanium screw
  • The Abutment: connected piece
  • The Crown: artificial tooth

Who is suitable for Implants?


An ideal tooth implant patient is a person in good general health who is missing a tooth or is about to have a tooth extracted. Since the procedure involves surgery, it is essential to be in good health to undergo this treatment.

There are certain situations where, due to health problems, a person may be ineligible for dental implants abroad. Specifically, when the patient:

  • has uncontrolled diabetes
  • has blood clotting disorders
  • has heavy smoking habits
  • has metabolic bone disease
  • is under cancer treatment

Which are the best dental implant brands?


There are literally hundreds of different implant companies out there so it's important to know which type of tooth implant your dentist is using for your treatment. Why? Because not all dental implants are created equally.

From my point of view, if I am putting something in my body, I want to make sure that it’s the best product out there for me. There are many high-quality brands available globally, and the ranking can vary depending on factors such as product quality, cost, and availability in different regions.

Therefore, the list of the most popular brands of dental implants that are recognized worldwide for their quality and reliability include:

  • Straumann
  • Nobel Biocare
  • Dentsply Sirona
  • Zimmer Biomet
  • BioHorizons

  • STRAUMANN 


  • Implanturi Straumann
  • Straumann is a leading brand in dental implants, renowned for high-quality, durable solutions. Made from titanium and ceramic, Straumann implants ensure biocompatibility and safe, lasting results. Key innovations include Roxolid, a strong titanium-zirconium alloy, and SLActive, which accelerates osseointegration, reducing healing time.

  • NOBEL BIOCARE


  • Implant Nobel Biocare
  • Nobel Biocare, a global leader in dental implants, provides solutions designed for long-term stability and natural aesthetics. Crafted from titanium and ceramic, these implants integrate seamlessly with the patient’s bone. Nobel Biocare’s standout technologies include TiUnite, which enhances osseointegration, and NobelActive, a system that ensures immediate stability and enables quick loading for faster results.


Which Dental Implant brand should you choose?


Dentaturism offers tailored treatment solutions for both quality-focused patients and those seeking a strong price-to-quality ratio.

To meet diverse needs, we provide premium implants from top brands like Straumann and Nobel Biocare, as well as reliable mid-level options from Bredent (Germany) and Biotech Kontact (France).

For patients prioritizing cost-efficiency, Adin implants (Israel) offer an economical yet effective solution, ensuring options that fit every budget and expectation.


Key factors in choosing the right implant


Choosing the right implant is only possible after a thorough analysis of each individual case. Based on this evaluation, Dentaturism specialists develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to meet each patient’s unique needs.

The specific model and brand of dental implant are selected after carefully assessing the case’s details, with criteria that cover both medical and social considerations, including: 

  • Bone condition at the implant site: The quality and volume of the bone play a crucial role in selecting the implant model. Low bone density may necessitate an implant with specialized features that minimize risks and enhance the likelihood of treatment success.
  • Implant position: Implants are chosen according to the placement area—front or back. For front placements, a thinner implant might be selected, while in the molar area, a thicker and longer model may be preferred to ensure additional stability.
  • Patient expectations and budget: Factors like aesthetic outcome, financial capacity, and the implant's lifespan are also significant in determining the appropriate implant model.

What does dental implant abroad involve?


The procedure itself is straightforward and comfortable. During treatment, you may feel slight vibrations and mild pressure, but no discomfort. At Dentaturism, most patients complete the entire tooth implant surgery in under an hour.

The standard procedure timeline for dental implant abroad placement includes the following steps:

  • Tooth Extraction (if needed): First, any damaged tooth is extracted. After removal, a healing period of approximately three months is typically required for the bone to heal fully. In some cases, an implant can be placed immediately after extraction, known as immediate implantation. Immediate implants can be highly successful if the case is well-suited to this approach, though not all cases are compatible.
  • Implant Placement: Once the bone is healed and solid, the implant is placed.
  • Crown Placement: After an additional three-month healing period, the final crown is secured to the implant, completing the restoration.

Advantages and Benefits


The treatment is generally very durable and precisely replicates the look and feel of a natural tooth once the artificial crown is fixed onto it. Among all available alternatives, the dental implant abroad is the solution that offers the most advantages and benefits:

  • Restores a natural, pleasing aesthetic appearance
  • Provides better functionality, improving chewing
  • Prevents bone loss
  • Prevents migration and keeps adjacent teeth stable
  • Durable, with a success rate of over 97%
  • Enhances quality of life

Risks and Inconveniences


I always tell to the patients that once they have a dental implant abroad, they need to pay more attention to oral hygiene than with natural teeth. Daily use of a water flosser, careful brushing, and consistent flossing are essential.

Annual follow-up X-rays are crucial to ensure everything is progressing well. Implant-related problems are generally painless, so regular check-ups are key. Missing these appointments may lead to discovering issues only when severe symptoms arise, making it difficult to save the implant.


FAQs


What is a Dental Implant?

A dental implant is a prosthetic device made of titanium or ceramic that replaces lost teeth by integrating with the natural bone. This provides a durable and aesthetically pleasing solution for restoring dental functionality.

Who Can Benefit from a Dental Implant Abroad?

Dental implants abroad are ideal for individuals in good overall health who have lost one or more teeth. However, patients with uncontrolled diabetes, blood clotting disorders, or those who smoke heavily may not be suitable candidates.

Leading brands include Straumann, Nobel Biocare, and Dentsply Sirona, recognized globally for their quality and reliability.

What Risks Are Associated with Dental Implants Abroad?

Conclusion


In conclusion, I encourage you to prioritize saving your natural teeth whenever possible, resorting to implants only as a last option. While dental implants abroad are an effective solution for missing teeth, they do come with potential risks, and it is crucial to make an informed decision.

Despite diligent care—such as daily brushing and flossing—issues can still arise. Over time, screws may loosen, and crowns may chip with wear. However, implants typically last an average of 15 years, and with annual check-ups and proper hygiene, their lifespan can be extended significantly.
