Straumann, Thommen and Osstem Implant Systems

A dental implant system combines the implants used to replace missing teeth with compatible components for the final restoration. Selecting a system involves considering your bone anatomy, the location of the missing tooth, the planned restoration and other clinical needs, alongside the brand.

At DentLotus, we use Straumann, Thommen and Osstem implant systems. Their different implant designs and restorative options allow our dentists to plan care suited to each case.

The implant system is selected according to your needs following a detailed clinical assessment and dental imaging.

Implant Systems at DentLotus

At DentLotus, we consider the entire implant treatment journey, from surgical planning to the final implant-supported restoration.

Before treatment, we assess the area of tooth loss, available bone, gum tissues, neighbouring teeth and the planned restoration. These findings guide the implant’s position and dimensions and the choice of system.

The implant and restorative components available through Straumann, Thommen and Osstem allow us to choose a system suited to your clinical needs. Brand selection forms part of personalised treatment planning.

Key Features of Implant Systems

Options for Different Clinical Needs

Different implant designs and sizes allow planning for a range of clinical needs.

Personalised Treatment Planning

The system can be selected according to your bone anatomy, treatment site and restorative needs.

Restorative Options

A range of components is available for implant-supported crowns, bridges and other restorations.

Comprehensive Dental Care

Surgical and restorative stages are considered together so the implant’s position and final restoration are planned as a whole.

How Implant Systems Support Your Treatment

Implant planning involves choosing a system and components suited to each patient’s clinical conditions. The amount and structure of available bone, the implant site and the planned restoration can all influence treatment.

Access to different implant systems allows the dentist to consider these factors and choose an appropriate option for your case.

At DentLotus, system selection is considered alongside the clinical examination, dental imaging and restorative planning. The aim is a personalised plan in which implant placement and the final restoration work together.

Where Are These Systems Used?

Straumann, Thommen and Osstem systems can be used to plan treatments ranging from a single missing tooth to more extensive tooth replacement.

Single-Tooth Implants

In suitable cases, a single missing tooth can be replaced with a crown supported by an implant.

Replacing Several Missing Teeth

When several teeth are missing, implant-supported restorations can be planned according to the clinical conditions.

Replacing a Full Set of Teeth

For suitable patients who have lost all their teeth, fixed or removable implant-supported options may be considered.

Implant-Supported Restorations

Compatible components from the selected system are used when planning implant-supported crowns, bridges or other restorations.

Your Implant Treatment Journey

Implant treatment follows planned stages, from clinical assessment and imaging through surgery and healing to the final implant-supported restoration.

Examination and Imaging

We assess your teeth, gums and proposed implant site. The necessary dental imaging helps examine the bone and surrounding anatomical structures.

Selecting Your Implant System

Clinical findings and imaging guide the implant’s position and dimensions and the system best suited to your case.

Implant Placement

The planned implant is surgically placed in the jawbone. Additional surgical procedures may be included where needed.

Healing and Your Final Restoration

After healing, we assess the implant’s clinical condition and prepare the final restoration at the appropriate time to complete treatment.
