The Astra Tech Implant System
Astra Tech Implant System | Dentsply Sirona
In clinical use for over 30 years with well-documented results, the Astra Tech implant system has proven to be a worthy competitor to most implant brands on the market.
Its primary purpose has been for ease of use and uncomplex treatment protocols.
The surgical technique needs to be without fault if the implants have the best possible survival rate. The more complex the treatment, the more room there is for error.
Astra Tech has taken all the unnecessary thinking out of implant treatment and has developed an easy-to-use, colour-coded implant system with a history of success.
The Astra Tech system has minimal multifunctional components in its use and so can be used in a wide array of situations.
All Astra Tech Implant s come with a lifetime warranty.
Implant Design
There are specific aspects of the implant design which is unique to Astra Tech implants bio-management complex:
- A fluoride-modified nanostructure surface technology that encourages early bone regeneration and bonding to the implant surface. This is required for optimal osseointegration.
- A micro-thread at the implant’s neck has been proven to establish an optimal load distribution and stable stress values. This means that these implants have the potential for long term treatment success.
- A tapered apex of the implant enables this system to be suitable for cases where there is softer bone and under-preparation is required.
These design features have given Astra Tech a multifunctional ability for its simplistic implant system. It is a great brand when simple treatment planning is required but also the most stable result too.
Main benefits of the Astra Tech Implant System:
- Ease of use. This system has minimal components but maximum flexibility of service. It is a simple and reliable product that has proven to provide long term stability.
- It can be used for either single-stage or two-staged implant treatment.
- The components can be used for immediate loading cases where early biting pressures may be applied.
- It has multiple therapeutic choices such as screw-retained, or cement-retained or attachment-retained prosthesis. This gives the clinician a wide spectrum of vital flexibility.
- The treatment protocol has a coded colour system whereby the Driver can easily be matched to the type of implant being installed. This makes the use of the system for less experienced and experienced clinicians alike very easy.
- Simple treatment planning. There are only three sizes with one implant-abutment connection. These, too, are colour coded. This means that treatment planning and inventory management becomes very easy and straightforward.
- Single-use Patent drills mean no cleaning or sterilisation stages, and they are always sharp to use. This makes this system very clinically safe and easy management for the entire team.
- Colour coded system. All components, including the impression pins, are colour coded to match the chosen implant, so treatment with Astra Tech implants are made very simple.

At The Perfect Smile, we understand that patients may be naturally nervous when thinking of undergoing dental implant surgery.
We want to reassure you that the dental implant treatment is not painful due to the proper use of local anaesthetics to numb the bone and gum deeply.
We can also use sedation techniques that also contribute to no pain or discomfort. More.
Single Dental Implant Timeline
- We will start the process with a highly detailed and thorough comprehensive examination and assessment. We will then construct a customised treatment plan and design your implant treatment.
- An implantologist surgically places your new implant (s) in your mouth.
- We will assess your healing on this review appointment and make sure everything is going as planned.
- The dentist records and impressions to construct the implant’s top part (post and crown).
- The dentist will fit the final part of the implant (post and crown).
- Your final appointment allows you to have any further refining cosmetic enhancements or minor adjustments.
Insufficient Bone
- When you lose a tooth, the surrounding bone that holds the tooth in place will diminish in height, width, and volume. This may affect the immediate and final appearance of the gum tissue in this area and possibly the surrounding teeth.
- The larger the width of bone or the height of the bone, the wider and longer implant can be. A wider and longer implant increases implant stability and thus success. We assess the bone height and width by taking digital radiographs or by taking a CT Scan. More.
Competitive Costs
