5 Best Dental Implant Brands in the World: Which Does Vietnam Offer?

When it comes to dental implants, not all products are created equal. The brand of implant your dentist uses will directly influence how long your implant lasts, how well it integrates with your bone, and what your options are if you ever need a replacement component anywhere in the world.

With dental tourism growing rapidly and more patients travelling to Vietnam, Thailand, Turkey, and Mexico for implant work, the question of implant brand quality has never been more important. Patients are no longer simply asking “how much?” — they are asking “which brand?” and “what does the science say?”

This guide ranks the five best dental implant brands in the world as of 2026, using peer-reviewed survival data, surface treatment technology, and global clinical reputation. We also tell you exactly which of these brands are available at Picasso Dental Clinic in Vietnam.

Why Implant Brand Matters for Long-Term Outcomes

A dental implant is a titanium post surgically placed into your jawbone to replace a missing tooth root. The implant must fuse with your bone — a process called osseointegration — over a period of three to six months. Only after this fusion is complete can a crown, bridge, or full-arch restoration be attached.

The brand of implant affects:

• Surface treatment: The microscopic texture of the implant surface determines how quickly and reliably osseointegration occurs. More advanced surfaces (like SLActive and TiUnite) accelerate healing.
• Implant geometry: Thread design, taper, and diameter affect primary stability — how secure the implant feels immediately after placement before bone integration.
• Material grade: Implants are typically made from Grade 4 commercially pure titanium or Grade 5 titanium-aluminium-vanadium alloy. Grade 5 offers higher strength for narrow implants.
• Component availability: Premium brands have a global network of component suppliers, so if your crown needs replacing in a different country a decade from now, parts are available.
• Clinical data: Only established brands have 10–20 year published survival data. Some cheaper brands have limited independent research.
• Guarantee programs: Leading brands offer product-level warranties, and many top clinics extend these with their own multi-year guarantees.

Choosing an unknown or budget implant brand to save $200–$300 is a false economy. If the implant fails within five years — as lower-tier implants are statistically more likely to do — you face additional surgery, bone grafting, and replacement costs that far outstrip any initial savings.

Brand 1: Straumann (Switzerland)

Founded: 1954 | Headquarters: Basel, Switzerland | 10-year survival rate: 96–98%

Straumann is widely considered the gold standard in implant dentistry. Founded in Basel, Switzerland over seventy years ago, Straumann has one of the most extensive bodies of peer-reviewed clinical research of any implant company in the world.

Key Technology: SLActive Surface

Straumann’s SLActive (Sandblasted, Large-grit, Acid-etched, Active) surface is among the most studied implant surfaces in clinical literature. Compared to the earlier SLA surface, SLActive:

• Reduces osseointegration time from 6–8 weeks to 3–4 weeks
• Supports bone healing in patients with compromised healing (diabetics, smokers)
• Demonstrates hydrophilic (water-attracting) properties that improve initial blood clot formation

This means Straumann implants can often support earlier loading — sometimes immediately after placement — reducing the number of appointments a patient needs.

Straumann BLT and BLX Systems

The Straumann Bone Level Tapered (BLT) implant is the most commonly placed implant system in the world. The BLX system, launched in 2019, adds enhanced primary stability through progressive thread design — particularly valuable in soft bone situations common in some Asian patient populations.

Straumann Availability in Vietnam

Straumann implants are available at Picasso Dental Clinic across all three locations in Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City, and Da Nang. Picasso uses authentic Straumann components sourced through authorised distributor channels, and patients receive the component documentation needed for international follow-up.

Brand 2: Nobel Biocare (Sweden/USA)

Founded: 1952 | Headquarters: Zurich, Switzerland | 10-year survival rate: 95–97%

Nobel Biocare holds a unique place in implant history: the company’s founder, Professor Per-Ingvar Brånemark, is the scientist who first demonstrated that titanium could fuse with living bone. Nobel Biocare’s implants are therefore grounded in the original scientific discovery of osseointegration.

Key Technology: TiUnite Surface

Nobel Biocare’s TiUnite surface is an oxidised titanium surface with a thick, phosphate-enriched oxide layer. Clinical studies show TiUnite promotes faster initial bone response and performs well in compromised bone conditions. The surface is particularly associated with high success rates in immediate loading protocols — placing the crown the same day as implant surgery.

Nobel Biocare and All-on-4

Nobel Biocare is the developer of the All-on-4 treatment concept — the full-arch implant restoration using just four implants per arch. Nobel Biocare holds the original trademark for the All-on-4 protocol, and their Multi-Unit Abutments are the most widely used components in full-arch reconstructions globally.

For patients seeking full-mouth reconstruction, a clinic with direct experience using Nobel Biocare components and the All-on-4 protocol is a strong indicator of quality.

Nobel Biocare Availability in Vietnam

Nobel Biocare implants and All-on-4 components are available at Picasso Dental Clinic. The clinic’s implant specialists are trained in the Nobel Biocare All-on-4 protocol and use original Multi-Unit Abutments for all full-arch cases.

Brand 3: Osstem (South Korea)

Founded: 1997 | Headquarters: Seoul, South Korea | 5-year survival rate: 96.8%

Osstem is the largest implant manufacturer in Asia and one of the top five globally by volume. It is the most widely researched implant brand in the Asian clinical literature and holds a dominant market position across South Korea, China, Japan, and Southeast Asia.

Why Osstem Has Earned Global Respect

Osstem’s growth from a Korean startup to a global brand has been driven by substantial investment in R&D and an accumulating body of independent clinical studies. A 2021 meta-analysis published in the Journal of Oral Implantology reviewed 14 independent studies and found Osstem’s cumulative survival rate at five years to be 96.8% — statistically comparable to European premium brands.

TS III SA System

Osstem’s TS III SA system uses a sandblasted acid-etched (SA) surface with resorbable blast media, producing a surface similar in profile to Straumann’s SLA. The system is designed for versatility across bone density types and has strong data in posterior molar positions — one of the most mechanically demanding implant sites.

The Cost Advantage

Osstem implants typically cost 30–50% less than Straumann or Nobel Biocare, with no meaningful difference in five-year survival rates in peer-reviewed comparisons. This makes Osstem an excellent value option for patients who want documented, research-backed implants without the premium brand pricing.

Osstem Availability in Vietnam

Osstem is available at Picasso Dental Clinic and is one of the most commonly placed implant systems at the clinic. It is particularly recommended for patients seeking excellent clinical outcomes at a more accessible price point.

Brand 4: Dentsply Sirona (USA/Germany)

Founded: 1899 (Dentsply), 1997 (Sirona) | Merged: 2016 | 10-year survival rate: 94–96%

Dentsply Sirona is the world’s largest dental equipment and consumables company by revenue. Their implant division offers two primary systems: XiVE and Ankylos.

XiVE System

The XiVE implant features a self-tapping thread design and a microstructured surface created by sand blasting. It is a versatile system widely used in Europe and North America, with particularly strong data in the posterior jaw. The XiVE Plus system introduced titanium nitride (TiN) coating on the abutment collar to reduce plaque adhesion in the gum line area.

Ankylos System

The Ankylos system is distinguished by its conical connection — a precise, friction-fit interface between the implant and abutment that is particularly resistant to micro-movement and bacteria penetration. Clinical data shows Ankylos achieves superior preservation of the crestal bone level (the bone immediately surrounding the implant neck), which has long-term implications for gum aesthetics.

Availability in Vietnam

Dentsply Sirona implants are available at some clinics in Vietnam’s major cities. They are less commonly placed than Straumann, Nobel Biocare, or Osstem, but dentists trained in Europe frequently prefer the Ankylos system. Picasso Dental Clinic primarily uses Straumann, Nobel Biocare, and Osstem; patients specifically requesting Dentsply Sirona should enquire directly.

Brand 5: Zimmer Biomet (USA)

Founded: 1927 (Zimmer), 2015 (Biomet merger) | Headquarters: Warsaw, Indiana, USA | 10-year survival rate: 93–96%

Zimmer Biomet is best known as one of the world’s leading orthopaedic implant companies, but their dental implant division has developed a credible product range with OsseoSpeed as the flagship system.

OsseoSpeed System

OsseoSpeed implants feature a fluoride-modified titanium surface that in clinical studies demonstrates accelerated osseointegration — reportedly shortening the healing phase by up to two weeks compared to traditional surfaces. A 2019 study in Clinical Implant Dentistry and Related Research reported a 10-year cumulative survival rate of 94.8% for OsseoSpeed implants.

Tapered Screw-Vent

The Tapered Screw-Vent is Zimmer Biomet’s most widely placed implant in North America, offering a reverse buttress thread profile and a choice of surface treatments. It is a reliable system with strong long-term data, though less commonly seen in Southeast Asian markets.

Availability in Vietnam

Zimmer Biomet implants are available at select clinics in Vietnam’s larger cities but are not among the most commonly offered systems. Patients whose home country dentist uses Zimmer Biomet components may find limited local support for follow-up.

Why Picasso Dental Clinic Uses Straumann, Nobel Biocare, and Osstem

Picasso Dental Clinic’s selection of implant brands is not accidental. The clinic’s clinical team reviewed the peer-reviewed survival data and patient outcome research before establishing its preferred supplier list.

Straumann is used for patients who want the absolute highest standard of Swiss engineering and the fastest-healing surface technology. It is particularly recommended for patients with more complex cases — those with reduced bone density, smokers, or patients opting for immediate loading.

Nobel Biocare is the preferred brand for All-on-4 full-arch cases, given that Nobel Biocare invented the All-on-4 protocol and produces the components specifically designed for it. Using original Nobel Biocare Multi-Unit Abutments ensures that any implant specialist in the world can continue care.

Osstem provides exceptional value. Independent clinical data confirms that Osstem’s five-year survival rate is statistically equivalent to European premium brands. For single tooth replacement in healthy patients, Osstem delivers outstanding results at a significantly lower cost.

All implants placed at Picasso Dental Clinic are accompanied by full component documentation, including the brand name, product code, batch number, and lot number. This documentation is essential for follow-up care in your home country.

Picasso’s guarantee program covers all implant work with a written warranty, and the clinic’s infection control procedures meet international hospital-grade standards.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does the implant brand really make a difference to long-term survival? A: Yes, but the differences between top-five brands are relatively small — a few percentage points in 10-year survival rates. The bigger factor is surgical skill and patient selection. An experienced surgeon using Osstem will typically outperform an inexperienced surgeon using Straumann. Brand choice matters most when comparing premium brands against unknown or unregistered systems.

Q: Are Straumann implants worth the premium over Osstem? A: For most single-tooth replacements in healthy patients, the clinical difference is minimal. Straumann’s SLActive surface offers faster healing, which matters for immediate loading and complex cases. For straightforward single implants, Osstem at a lower price delivers comparable outcomes.

Q: How do I know if a clinic is using genuine branded implants? A: Ask the clinic to show you the implant component packaging before surgery. Genuine Straumann, Nobel Biocare, and Osstem implants come in sealed, labelled packaging with batch numbers. Ask for a copy of the component sticker for your records. At Picasso Dental Clinic, this documentation is provided as a standard part of the treatment record.

Q: Can I get my implant restored (crown replaced) in my home country after getting the implant in Vietnam? A: Yes, if your clinic uses a major brand. Straumann, Nobel Biocare, and Osstem all have global distribution networks, meaning any dentist in Australia, the UK, the USA, or Europe can order compatible components. This is one of the key reasons to insist on a named, major brand.

Q: What implant brand do you recommend for All-on-4? A: Nobel Biocare is the system for which All-on-4 was specifically designed, and using original Nobel Biocare Multi-Unit Abutments ensures full protocol compliance. Straumann’s All-on-4 equivalent — using BLT implants and CARES prosthetics — is also excellent. We recommend against generic or unbranded components for full-arch cases given the complexity of the restoration.

Q: How long does a dental implant last? A: With proper care, implants from premium brands routinely last 20–30 years or more. The 10-year survival rates cited in this article represent clinical studies, which typically show some implant failure from complications, bone loss, or patient health factors. Daily brushing, regular hygiene visits, and not smoking are the biggest factors in long-term implant survival.

Q: Is it safe to get implants in Vietnam? A: Yes, provided you choose an accredited clinic with verifiable sterilisation standards, experienced implant surgeons, and documented use of named implant brands. See our infection control procedures for Picasso Dental Clinic’s full sterilisation protocol, which meets international hospital-grade standards. You can also read verified patient reviews from international patients.

Q: What is the total cost of a dental implant at Picasso Dental Clinic? A: Full implant costs (fixture + abutment + crown) start at approximately $800–$1,200 for Osstem, $1,300–$1,900 for Nobel Biocare, and $1,400–$2,000 for Straumann. This compares with $3,500–$6,000 in Australia, the UK, or the USA for comparable systems. See our full dental costs page for current pricing.
