3 Not all implants are created equal Your dentist trusts Straumann dental implants because they are not willing to compromise on the products they select for patient care. Just as you have a choice of dental clinicians, your dentist has a wide choice of dental implant manufacturers. Most patients are not aware of the important differences in dental implant systems, including variations in quality, technology, and scientific research. With the increased popularity of dental implants, many lower cost knock-off implant systems are available from a wide range of manufacturers. These implants may not be manufactured to the same engineering and quality specifications as Straumann implants. 2 1 A cross-section of a Straumann dental implant 1 with a dental implant abutment 2 attached, on which an artificial crown is placed
