Why should it matter what dental implant system the provider is using? Knowing about the brand and quality of the implant system used by the provider is very important since not all dental implants are the same. There are a limited number of implant systems on the market that have the design, surface characteristics, and parts and pieces required for a predictable immediate full mouth implant teeth therapy.
During your consultation visit, you should ask the provider about the implant system he/she is using.

Here’s why it is important to choose a market leader implant system:
- They have spent decades acquiring manufacturing expertise
- Over time, your implants may need parts (like new screws that hold the bridge)
- Established companies are far less likely to disappear, giving you peace of mind that you’ll always be able to access spare parts
- These implants are recognized globally wherever you go. Their parts and pieces are distributed globally
- These brands have hundreds of research studies published on their products; other less established brands have just a few (if any)
Summary:
The potential problems related to lesser-known implant systems are simply not worth the short-term cost savings—especially if you average the savings over the number of years your implants will serve you.
