Straumann is widely regarded as the gold standard of dental implantology. Founded in Switzerland in 1954, the company's implants are backed by more long-term clinical research than any other implant system in the world. For UK patients who want the highest-confidence implant available — but baulk at the £3,000–£3,500 UK price — Turkish clinics using genuine Straumann systems offer a remarkable opportunity.
About Straumann: The Gold Standard
Straumann has published more peer-reviewed clinical data on implant outcomes than any other manufacturer. Their implants have a documented 10-year success rate of 97.5% and a 25-year success rate in excess of 94%. The Straumann tissue level implant design has been in continuous clinical use since the 1970s — giving it the longest unbroken outcome data of any dental implant system.
Key Straumann innovations that are now industry standards:
- SLActive surface: The titanium surface treatment that accelerates osseointegration — reducing healing time from 12 weeks to 6–8 weeks
- Bone Level Tapered (BLT): Designed for excellent primary stability in compromised bone
- Roxolid material: Titanium-zirconium alloy 50% stronger than commercially pure titanium — allows narrower implants in limited bone space
- CARES digital workflow: Fully digital prosthetic workflow from scan to CAD/CAM crown

How Straumann Distributes to Turkish Clinics
Straumann sells directly to registered dental clinics through its regional distribution network. In Turkey, Straumann has a fully operational commercial presence with in-country support, technical training programmes, and authorised distributors. Turkish clinics that use Straumann are trained by Straumann representatives and purchase implants through official channels.
This is important because it means genuine Straumann implants in Turkey are exactly the same product as those in UK clinics — manufactured in Basel, Switzerland, under the same quality control standards. There is no "Turkish Straumann" vs "Swiss Straumann." The implant is identical.
How to Verify Genuine Straumann Implants
When booking a clinic, ask for:
- The specific Straumann system and diameter being used for your case
- The clinic's Straumann authorised partner status (many display this on their website)
- The implant batch documentation provided in your clinical records before departure
Straumann implants arrive in individual sterile sealed packages with a batch number. A reputable clinic will provide you with the packaging information (batch number, system, diameter) as part of your clinical records. This allows your UK dentist to identify the exact implant if follow-up work is ever needed.
Straumann at Taki Dent, Antalya
Taki Dent is one of Antalya's most prominent Straumann users. Dr. Baris Kipritoglu (Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon) performs Straumann BLT and Bone Level RC placements as standard for patients requiring the premium Swiss system. Straumann implant documentation is included in every patient's clinical records before departure. The clinic also uses Nobel Biocare for All-on-4/6 cases where the Nobel system's specific angled implant configuration is preferred.
Straumann vs Nobel Biocare vs Osstem: Which Is Best?
The three tiers of implant systems available in Turkey:
- Straumann: The most studied implant system globally. Preferred for cases where clinical research documentation is paramount, or for patients who want the longest-established outcome data. Premium price within Turkey (£600–£800).
- Nobel Biocare: Pioneer of the All-on-4 system. The preferred choice for full-arch restoration. Clinical outcomes comparable to Straumann. Similar price range (£650–£900).
- Osstem: One of the world's largest implant manufacturers (South Korea). Excellent quality, extensive clinical data, lower cost (£400–£550). The most cost-effective branded option for patients on a tighter budget.
All three are internationally recognised, with 10-year success rates in the 95–97% range. For most patients, any of the three represents an excellent choice. Straumann is the premium option with the most extensive long-term data.
Conclusion
Genuine Straumann implants — the same Swiss-manufactured system used by top UK private practices — are available in Turkey at £600–£800 per implant including the crown, versus £3,000–£3,500 in the UK. For patients who want the gold standard without the gold-standard price tag, this is one of the most compelling arguments for dental tourism to Antalya.
