Which dental implant brand is best?
Quick answer: Straumann and Nobel Biocare are the two most researched, longest-proven premium implant brands, and these are the only systems used at Taki Dent in Antalya. Osstem, MegaGen and Dentium are reputable value-tier brands that also perform well. Premium systems offer the longest published track record, reliable osseointegration and lifetime warranties. Independent research reports around 95% implant survival at 10 years (Howe et al., Journal of Dentistry, 2019) when quality implants are correctly placed.
Why does the implant brand matter?
A dental implant is a titanium root that must fuse with your jawbone — a process called osseointegration — and then support a crown, bridge or full arch for decades. The brand influences four things that determine whether your implant lasts: the quality of the implant surface and its osseointegration, the strength of the published clinical evidence, the warranty behind it, and the future availability of matching components.
This last point is often overlooked. If you ever need a repair, a new abutment or a replacement crown years later, the parts must match your specific implant system. Premium brands such as Straumann and Nobel Biocare are stocked worldwide, so a dentist anywhere can source components. Obscure or unbranded implants can leave you stranded if the manufacturer disappears or parts cannot be found.
That is why the brand — combined with the skill of the clinician placing it — is one of the most important factors in a lasting result, and why Taki Dent commits to premium systems only.

Are cheap implants safe?
Reputable value-tier brands such as Osstem, MegaGen and Dentium are safe and effective when placed correctly by a skilled clinician — they have real research behind them and are used by clinics around the world. The genuine risk lies with unbranded or ultra-cheap implants that have little published evidence, weak warranty support and poor availability of matching parts. With those, a future repair can become difficult or impossible.
Independent research reports around 95% dental implant survival at 10 years (Howe et al., Journal of Dentistry, 2019) when quality implants are correctly placed — but that figure depends on both a proven implant and an experienced surgeon. A premium implant placed poorly can still fail, and a good value implant placed well can succeed.
Taki Dent removes the guesswork by using only premium Straumann and Nobel Biocare systems, placed under the care of Specialist Prosthodontist Dr Sadık Taki, and backing every case with a 5-year written guarantee.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which dental implant brand is best?
Straumann and Nobel Biocare are widely regarded as the two best dental implant brands, thanks to decades of clinical research, proven osseointegration surfaces and lifetime manufacturer warranties. Osstem, MegaGen and Dentium are strong, well-established value-tier brands that also perform well. The "best" brand for you depends on your case and budget, but premium systems have the longest published track record. At Taki Dent in Antalya, only premium Straumann and Nobel Biocare systems are used.
Which implant brand does Taki Dent use?
Taki Dent uses premium implant systems only — Straumann (Switzerland) and Nobel Biocare (Sweden/Switzerland). These are the two most researched and clinically proven brands in dentistry, with reliable osseointegration and manufacturer warranties. Because these are the same premium implants used across the UK, Germany and the rest of Europe, patients travelling to Antalya receive top-tier brand quality at a much lower price, backed by Taki Dent's own 5-year written guarantee.
Do cheaper implant brands work as well as premium ones?
Reputable value-tier brands such as Osstem, MegaGen and Dentium can achieve excellent results and have solid clinical evidence, so a well-placed value implant works well for many patients. The concern is with unbranded or ultra-cheap implants that have little research, limited warranty support and poor availability of matching parts for future repairs. Independent research reports around 95% implant survival at 10 years (Howe et al., Journal of Dentistry, 2019) when quality implants are correctly placed. Taki Dent chooses premium Straumann and Nobel Biocare for the longest proven track record.
Why does the implant brand matter?
The brand matters because it affects osseointegration (how well the implant fuses with bone), long-term survival, warranty support and the future availability of matching components. Premium brands such as Straumann and Nobel Biocare have decades of published research and global parts availability, so if you ever need a repair or a new crown years later, the components can be sourced anywhere. Choosing a proven brand, placed by a specialist, is one of the most important factors in a lasting implant.
