Swiss · Founded 1954 · Basel, Switzerland
Straumann is one of the most clinically researched implant systems in the world. At Vera Dental, we use Straumann for patients whose anatomy and case complexity benefit from the precision of Swiss-engineered Roxolid® alloy and SLActive® surface technology. Every implant is quoted inclusive of a PFM crown.
Straumann was founded in 1954 in Basel, Switzerland, and published the first clinical data on osseointegration alongside research institutions that shaped the field. Their development of SLA surface technology in 1998 and Roxolid alloy in 2009 represent genuine materials science contributions — not just brand differentiation.
Each implant includes
Every Straumann implant at Vera Dental is quoted as a complete package: implant fixture + PFM (porcelain-fused-to-metal) crown. No separate crown fees.
Straumann Manufacturer Guarantee
Original Straumann implants and abutments are supported by the Straumann Manufacturer Warranty — covering original components and abutments per the official Straumann terms.
Brand story
Straumann's strength comes from one of the largest bodies of published clinical data in implant dentistry. With extensive peer-reviewed publications and multi-centre clinical studies, Straumann implants are among the most rigorously validated in the field.
The Bone Level Tapered (BLT) and BLX systems represent their current-generation implant lines, engineered for predictable outcomes across a wide range of bone types and clinical situations — from straightforward single-tooth replacements to complex full-arch cases.
Straumann is also the parent group of Anthogyr, Neodent, and other global implant brands — reflecting their position as a leading implant group worldwide.
At Vera Dental
Straumann is recommended at Vera Dental for cases where the clinical evidence supports its material advantages — not as a default premium offering.
Roxolid's superior tensile strength enables narrower implant diameters without structural compromise — clinically relevant where bone width is limited and traditional implants would require grafting to accommodate standard diameters.
SLActive surface's hydrophilic properties support faster protein adsorption and bone cell attachment — a consideration in protocols where accelerated osseointegration is clinically appropriate.
For All-on-X and multi-unit cases where implant position, load distribution, and long-term integration are critical, Straumann's prosthetic ecosystem and extensive full-arch data provide a robust clinical foundation.
Clinical highlights
Straumann's material advantages are clinically meaningful — but only when combined with precise surgical technique, accurate 3D planning, and careful aftercare. At Vera Dental, every Straumann placement follows the same meticulous clinical protocol, and every implant is completed with a PFM crown as a single, inclusive package.
The titanium-zirconia composition gives Roxolid higher tensile strength than conventional Grade IV titanium, enabling narrower implant designs without compromising structural integrity under occlusal load.
SLActive maintains a chemically active, moisture-rich surface from packaging to placement, promoting faster protein adsorption and osteoblast attachment compared to conventional SLA surfaces.
The tapered profile generates primary stability through cortical bone compression — especially relevant in soft or low-density bone where achieving initial fixture stability is clinically challenging.
Straumann's clinical literature spans multi-centre studies across diverse patient populations, bone types, and indications — giving clinicians a broad, evidence-based reference for treatment planning.
Patient journey
The process for a Straumann implant at Vera Dental follows the same structured pathway as all implant cases — beginning with thorough assessment and completing with your custom PFM crown.
Initial assessment including CBCT 3D X-ray to evaluate bone density, height, and anatomy. Your dentist reviews your medical history and discusses the proposed implant system and crown plan.
Some patients require bone grafting or sinus lift before implant placement. Your 3D imaging will determine whether this is necessary.
The Straumann fixture is placed under local anaesthesia. The procedure typically takes 30–60 minutes for a single implant. You leave the clinic with a temporary restoration.
The implant integrates with your jawbone. SLActive's surface properties support this biological bonding process. Regular review appointments monitor your healing progress.
Your PFM (porcelain-fused-to-metal) crown is fabricated and fitted to match your natural teeth in colour, shape, and bite. The crown is included in your implant package — no separate fee. Ongoing check-ups protect your long-term implant health.
Honest comparison
Different systems serve different cases well. Our role is to match the right tool to the right anatomy — not to rank implants as better or worse. All options at Vera Dental are quoted inclusive of a PFM crown.
Both are European-engineered and part of the Straumann Group. Straumann offers a longer independent clinical data history and the Roxolid alloy advantage for narrow cases. Anthogyr's Axiom system provides excellent prosthetic flexibility and strong osseointegration for standard anatomy. Many patients are well-served by either system.
For routine implant cases with adequate bone volume and standard anatomy, Korean systems (Osstem, Dentium) are internationally certified and clinically well-documented. Straumann's material advantages become most clinically relevant in challenging cases — narrow ridges, compromised bone quality, or cases requiring accelerated osseointegration protocols.

Common questions
How much does a Straumann implant cost in Singapore?
At Vera Dental, a Straumann implant with PFM crown is approximately $3,449 before Medisave. Medisave claims of up to $1,950 per implant can bring your out-of-pocket cost to approximately $1,499. The price is all-inclusive — implant fixture and PFM crown, no separate crown fee.
Does the Straumann implant price include a crown?
Yes. Every Straumann implant at Vera Dental is quoted inclusive of a PFM (porcelain-fused-to-metal) crown. The $3,449 before Medisave covers the implant fixture, abutment, and PFM crown as a complete package. There are no separate crown fees at Vera Dental.
Is Straumann worth the higher cost compared to Korean implants?
For patients with challenging bone anatomy, narrow ridges, or cases requiring enhanced osseointegration, Straumann's Roxolid alloy and SLActive surface can make a meaningful clinical difference. For straightforward cases with adequate bone, outcomes between premium and standard systems are often comparable. Your dentist will recommend the right system after 3D imaging.
What is SLActive surface technology?
SLActive is Straumann's hydrophilic implant surface — a sandblasted acid-etched surface maintained in a chemically active, moisture-rich state from manufacturing to placement. This promotes faster protein adsorption and bone cell attachment compared to conventional surfaces, and is particularly relevant in protocols calling for accelerated osseointegration.
What is Roxolid and why does it matter?
Roxolid is Straumann's proprietary titanium-zirconia alloy (85% Ti, 15% Zr). It offers approximately 50% higher tensile strength than standard Grade IV titanium, enabling narrower implant diameters without compromising structural integrity — clinically useful where bone width is limited.
Can Straumann implants be placed using Medisave at Vera Dental?
Yes. Vera Dental is Medisave accredited. Straumann implant placement is eligible for Medisave claims of up to $1,950 per implant. Note that Medisave covers the surgical component (fixture placement) — the PFM crown component is not Medisave-claimable. Our team will assist with your CPF submission.
How long does the Straumann implant process take?
The full process typically involves an initial consultation and 3D imaging, implant placement surgery, a healing period of 2–4 months for osseointegration, and then PFM crown fitting. Total timeline varies by patient anatomy and whether preparatory procedures such as bone grafting are required.
