Quick answer: Which brand of dental implants is the best? No single brand is best for every patient. Our 2026 ranking of the top 10 dental implant companies in the world is: 1 Straumann, 2 Astra Tech / Dentsply Sirona, 3 Nobel Biocare, 4 Zimmer Biomet, 5 Hiossen, 6 Osstem Implant, 7 MIS Implants, 8 Megagen, 9 BioHorizons and 10 Neodent. The first five are the top 5 dental implant companies in the world in this ranking, and all 10 are compared in the ranking table below. Which dental implant company is the best for you depends on your bone, the treatment and your budget.
Today’s dental implant systems are produced by globally recognized companies such as Straumann Group, Nobel Biocare, Zimmer Biomet, Dentsply Sirona, Astra Tech, Hiossen, MIS Implants and Osstem. Each manufacturer develops its own implant surface technologies, implant designs and warranty programs.
Understanding these differences between dental implant brands helps patients evaluate implant reliability and long-term performance before treatment.
At Kristal Clinic in Istanbul, Türkiye, we select the most suitable systems when planning treatment and determining the appropriate types of dental implants based on bone condition, treatment goals and budget.

When you compare the best dental implants, dental implant brands differ in surface technology, research backing and global support networks; differences in long-term survival between established systems appear small (see How We Compared below).
Choosing the right manufacturer affects not only osseointegration but also long-term prosthetic compatibility and long-term maintenance.
This 2026 ranking evaluates the most recognized implant manufacturers worldwide based on:
Published clinical survival data
Surface technology advancements
Research and scientific documentation
Warranty policies
Global availability
This dental implant company ranking compares each brand on five points: published clinical evidence, surface technology (manufacturer documentation), the volume of peer-reviewed clinical research, warranty terms and how easy it is to get parts worldwide (market presence). In the price comparisons below, Kristal Clinic prices are given as a quote on request because the final price depends on your treatment plan; the USA and UK figures below are for the implant post only and vary between clinics.
Independent research suggests that survival differences between established implant systems are small. A review of the evidence supplied by six manufacturers found a pooled 5-year survival of 96% across 7,398 implants and no obvious difference between systems, although most of that evidence came from case series (Eckert et al., 2005). That is why this guide also weighs research, parts and warranty, not survival figures alone.
The comparison was reviewed by Dr. Yusuf Sabir, implantologist at Kristal Clinic.
What Are the Best Dental Implant Companies in the World? (2026 Guide)

Dental Implant Surface Technology Explained (SLA vs RBM Implants)
Surface micro-topography plays a decisive role in bone-to-implant contact (see the review by Wennerberg & Albrektsson, 2010).
It directly affects the long-term stability of implant-supported restorations.
SLA (Straumann) – Sand-blasted and acid-etched surface increasing bone integration.
SLActive – A hydrophilic modification of SLA (source: Straumann), designed to significantly accelerate early bone healing. This rapid integration makes it one of the most reliable choices for same-day dental implant procedures and immediate loading.
TiUnite (Nobel Biocare) – An anodized titanium oxide surface that enhances early osseointegration. Because it provides exceptional initial stability, it is the foundational technology behind their pioneering All-on-4 dental implant systems.
RBM (Hiossen) – Resorbable blast media surface providing cost-effective stability.
OsseoSpeed (Astra Tech) – Fluoride-modified surface improving early bone response.
Surface technology directly influences healing time and early implant stability, which is particularly important in immediate-load cases and when supporting components like the abutment in dental implants that connect the implant fixture to the final crown.
Surface technology is one of the main differences between the best tooth implant brands (also searched as best teeth implant brands).
Top 10 Dental Implant Brands in the World (2026 Ranking)
Looking for the top 10 dental implants in the world or the top 10 dental implant brands? This dental implant brand comparison ranks all ten by clinical evidence, surface technology and best use. If you are choosing between the top 10 implant brands in the world for your own treatment, start with the “Best for” column.

Note on Survival Rates: brand-by-brand 10-year survival figures are not shown because we only publish figures we can source; the Source column links to the official page behind the facts in each row. Individual outcomes heavily depend on systemic health, bone quality, surgical planning, and prosthetic load distribution.
How to read it: the best implant brands for one patient may not suit another, so when a clinic quotes you Straumann implants or a Nobel Biocare dental implant, ask which exact system and surface (Key Technology / Surface column) is included in the price.

💡 Additional Cost & Treatment Considerations
If you are researching full-mouth reconstructions or medical tourism, keep these specific guides in mind:
Medical Tourism: Brands like Osstem offer premium quality at a lower price point, which is why they are highly popular in hubs like Turkey. (See: Average Cost of Implants in Turkey).
Corporate Dental Chains: Premium US corporate centers (like Clear Choice) often use top-tier systems like Straumann and Nobel Biocare. Reviewing their specific cost structures will help you understand how the premium hardware factors into the final bill.
Which Implant Brand Lasts Longest?
Long-term studies do not show one brand clearly outlasting the others. A review of six established implant systems found overlapping 5-year survival (pooled 96%) and no obvious difference between systems (Eckert et al., 2005). A Swedish population study did link implant brand to implant loss, alongside smoking and periodontitis (Derks et al., 2015), so the brand is one factor among several.
However, implant longevity depends more on several clinical factors:
• Surgical precision
• Proper case planning
• Bone density
• Occlusal balance
• Patient systemic health
• Gum care and regular check-ups
Brand quality reduces risk — but clinical execution determines success. Understanding how long zirconium implants last can also help patients evaluate long-term durability when comparing different implant materials and treatment options.
Dental Implant Failure Rates and Global Survival Statistics (2026 Guide)
Across large-scale studies, one of the clearest pictures comes from a Swedish population study of 2,765 patients treated in 2003, of whom 596 were examined about nine years later (Derks et al., 2015):
Early implant loss (before the final teeth were fitted): 4.4% of patients
Late implant loss (by the nine-year examination): 4.2% of patients
At least one implant lost overall: 7.6% of patients
Risk factors linked to implant loss in that study included smoking and periodontitis (gum disease) before treatment (Derks et al., 2015). Before treatment, dentists also check bone density, diabetes control and the surgical plan.
Manufacturer quality matters, but in the studies above patient factors and treatment planning weigh more than the brand.

Dental Implant Brands to Avoid: What to Check First
Instead of a list of the worst dental implant brands, check these points before you accept any implant brand, especially one you have not heard of:
The brand and implant line are written on your treatment plan and in an implant passport.
Parts for that system are available in your home country, so another dentist can maintain it.
The manufacturer publishes clinical studies for that implant line.
The warranty terms are written and transferable.
Your surgeon is trained on that system.
Original parts matter too. A lab study found that non-original (“clone”) abutments made for one implant system differed considerably from the original part in fit and mechanical behaviour (Karl & Irastorza-Landa, 2018). Ask whether your implant and its parts come from the same manufacturer.
If a clinic cannot tell you the brand, ask before treatment.
Common Questions About Implant Brands (2026 Guide)
⭐ Straumann vs Nobel Biocare
Both are premium implant systems with strong research and long-term success.
• Straumann → often preferred for complex bone cases.
• Nobel Biocare → widely used for All-on-4 full-arch restorations.
The best choice depends on bone quality, bite force, and treatment goals.
⭐ Hiossen Implant vs Straumann
Hiossen is a US implant company set up by Korea’s Osstem Implant in 2006, and its implants are made in Pennsylvania (source: Hiossen). Straumann is a Swiss company; its SLActive surface is a hydrophilic version of its SLA surface (source: Straumann). We did not find an independent study that compares the two brands head to head, so ask your surgeon which system they place most often and whether parts are available in your home country.
⭐ MIS Implants vs Straumann
MIS is an Israeli implant maker that has been part of Dentsply Sirona since 2016 and serves value-focused customers in more than 65 countries (source: Dentsply Sirona, 2016). Straumann sits in the premium tier in this ranking. As with Hiossen, we found no independent head-to-head study with Straumann.
⭐ Osstem Implant vs Straumann
Patients comparing Straumann vs Osstem usually weigh research volume, surface and price tier. Osstem is a South Korean company and the parent company of Hiossen (source: Hiossen); in this ranking it stands out for value, while Straumann ranks first overall. As with Hiossen, we found no independent head-to-head study with Straumann.
⭐ Straumann vs Neodent
Neodent is a Brazilian implant brand fully owned by the Straumann Group since 2015, and the group positions it as a more affordable option (source: Straumann Group). So Neodent implants and Straumann implants come from the same group but sit in different price tiers.
⭐ Straumann vs Megagen
Megagen is a South Korean implant company founded in 2002, with its headquarters and factory in Daegu (source: MegaGen). Straumann is a Swiss company whose history goes back to 1954 (source: Straumann Group). As with Hiossen, we found no independent head-to-head study with Straumann.
⭐ Are Straumann Implants Better Than Korean Implants?
Not necessarily. A review of established implant systems found no obvious difference in 5-year survival between them (Eckert et al., 2005). Korean brands such as Osstem and Megagen usually compete on price, while Straumann sits in the premium tier in this ranking; the right choice depends on your case and on parts being available where you live.
⭐ Does the Implant Brand Really Matter?
It matters for the evidence behind the system and for getting parts later, but studies point to patient factors and planning as bigger drivers of success (Eckert et al., 2005; Derks et al., 2015). See which implant brand lasts longest.
⭐ What Is the Highest Quality Dental Implant?
No single implant is highest quality for every case. Compare the surface and best-use columns in the ranking table above with your dentist.
⭐ How Many Dental Implant Brands Are There?
We did not find an official worldwide count of implant brands. This guide ranks 10 of the best-known brands; if a clinic offers a brand you have not heard of, use the checklist in the brands-to-avoid section above.
⭐ Best Implant Brand for All-on-4
Common options include:
• Nobel Biocare
• Astra Tech / Dentsply Sirona
• Straumann BLT
• Zimmer Biomet systems
All can work well when treatment planning is done correctly. The implant brand matters less than surgical accuracy and proper healing.
⭐ Cheapest Implant Brand That Is Still Safe
Affordable implant brands like Hiossen, MIS, or Osstem are widely used around the world and can give excellent results when placed by experienced implantologists.
Safety depends on planning, sterilization, and aftercare — not just brand price.
⭐ Implant Brand Success Rate Studies
Clinical research on established implant systems reports high survival: one review found a pooled 96% at 5 years across 7,398 implants (Eckert et al., 2005).
Good planning, correct implant position, and hygiene are the biggest factors in long-term success.
