Did you know that not all dental implants are the same? Many factors contribute to success, comfort, natural feel, appearance, and how long they last.

differ from one brand to another? Are they different from one another?

Well, the answer to this is no.

There are nearly 200 brands of dental implants available, and each has different features that affect the success of the implant. Some of the features which vary are:

• Grade of titanium
• Are the implants designed to work as a short or long implant
• The type of screw, the shape of the thread
• Is it tapered or straight?
• How does the post or abutment for the final tooth attach to the implant?
• Can the final result be made to look as real as possible
• Is it a new dental implant brand?
• Track record of the brand
