Neodent implants: history, features and models

Yes. This is a modern international implant system in the Straumann Group portfolio. It is made from medical-grade Grade 4 titanium, has advanced surfaces that support osseointegration and features a stable Grand Morse conical connection.

In simple terms, this is not a case of saving on materials, but a balanced solution with a predictable outcome. In most clinical situations, Neodent can provide a reliable, long-term result without paying extra for a premium brand. When the bone conditions are suitable, it is a very sensible choice.

The difference is not that one implant integrates and the other does not. Both systems work. The distinction lies in the materials, scientific evidence and clinical versatility.

Straumann is a premium system. It uses its proprietary Roxolid alloy (titanium and zirconium), which is stronger than conventional Grade 4 titanium. This is important when bone volume is limited or a narrower implant needs to be placed without additional grafting. Straumann also has one of the world's largest evidence bases, including long-term studies with 15–20 years of follow-up.

Neodent uses conventional Grade 4 titanium and does not have its own unique alloy. Its surfaces and mechanical design are reliable, but its scientific evidence base is less extensive than that of premium systems. In standard clinical conditions, when bone volume is sufficient, patients often do not notice a difference.

Put simply:

• when the situation is typical and the anatomy is favourable, Neodent provides a predictable result at a lower cost;
• when the case is complex, such as thin bone, high aesthetic requirements or challenging loading, premium systems may offer an additional margin of strength and more long-term data.

The decision is based not on the principle that more expensive means better, but on clinical suitability after a CT scan.

With correct placement and regular oral hygiene, implants can last for decades. Clinical data demonstrate high survival rates after 5–10 years of follow-up. It is important to understand, however, that longevity depends not only on the implant system but also on care, loading and gum health.

An implant does not need to be replaced every 10 years. With proper care, it is designed for long-term use.

According to the manufacturer's clinical data, the system demonstrates survival rates above 95–98% in long-term follow-up.

This means that, in the vast majority of cases, the implant integrates with the bone without complications. Important factors include bone density, not smoking and following postoperative recommendations.

Not always. In many cases, implants with a tapered shape and stable thread can be placed without additional bone grafting.

The final decision is made after a CT scan. If there is sufficient bone volume, no additional procedures are required. If there is a deficiency, the dentist selects the most appropriate preparation option.

The key factor is planning, not the implant brand itself.

Neodent provides a lifetime warranty on the implant itself as a medical device, meaning the titanium screw placed in the bone. If it has a manufacturing defect, it is eligible for replacement in accordance with the company's policy.

It is important, however, to understand the distinction:

• the lifetime warranty applies specifically to the implant component;
• it does not mean that repeat surgery will automatically be performed free of charge in every case.

The clinic's warranty for the procedure is usually 1–5 years, depending on the medical facility's internal policy, and applies provided that the patient attends:

• regular preventive check-ups
• professional dental hygiene appointments
• and does not seriously disregard the recommendations.

According to statistics, modern implants have survival rates above 95–98% in long-term follow-up. This means that most patients never encounter a warranty-related issue.

All-inclusive Neodent implant treatment costs 61 000 UAH for one tooth. The price includes:

• a CT scan
• consultation and treatment planning
• implant placement
• a healing abutment
• an abutment
• a ceramic crown

If there is sufficient bone tissue, no additional costs are required. If there is a bone deficiency, bone grafting or a sinus lift may be required, increasing the treatment cost.

The final cost is determined after a CT scan because the anatomy of the jaw determines the complexity of treatment. After the consultation, you will receive a clear financial plan with no hidden additional charges.
