Dental implant companies range from global implant system manufacturers to specialist suppliers of the surgical and regenerative products that implant cases also need. Choosing a system is a long-term decision, because components, drivers and restorative parts need to stay available for years after placement. This list introduces 10 notable companies in implant dentistry and what to weigh when choosing one.
Key takeaways
- The list covers eight implant system makers and two implant-surgery and regenerative suppliers, in no particular order.
- Long-term component availability and restorative compatibility matter as much as the fixture itself.
- Implant surgery also needs reliable hand instruments for flaps, sinus and grafting work.
- Clinical training and local support are key factors when selecting a system.
How we chose these companies
We selected companies whose main focus includes implants, chosen for breadth of range, specialization and market presence. Eight make implant systems; two are US suppliers of implant-surgery and regenerative products that implant teams commonly use. The list is in no particular order and is not a ranking by revenue, quality or clinical outcomes. Where one company owns another listed brand, we list the implant brand once. More companies are in the searchable Aurix supplier directory.

Global systems, value-focused brands and surgical suppliers
The implant market includes large multinational groups with extensive system portfolios, such as Straumann Group, Nobel Biocare and Dentsply Sirona, and companies that built their reputation in specific markets, such as Osstem and MegaGen from South Korea. US companies including ZimVie and BioHorizons combine implant lines with restorative or regenerative products.
Implant cases also rely on suppliers outside the fixture itself. Regenerative materials, bone-grafting instruments, membranes and general oral surgery instruments are often bought from specialists such as Salvin and Osteogenics. When you evaluate a company, look at how well its products fit with the rest of your surgical and restorative workflow, not only at the implant design.
It also helps to think about who restores the implants you place. If you refer restorations to other dentists, or receive referrals, choosing a system that colleagues and local laboratories already support can make components, scanning parts and prosthetic work much easier to coordinate. A short conversation with your lab before committing to a new system often saves problems later.
How to choose a dental implant company
- Component availability. Ask how long abutments, screws and drivers for each line remain available, and how easy they are to order in your country.
- Restorative compatibility. Check connection types, digital libraries and lab support so restorations can be made efficiently.
- Training and support. Hands-on courses, local representatives and case support matter, especially for practices starting implant placement.
- Surgical kit and instruments. The drill kit is only part of the setup. You also need flap, retraction, grafting and suturing instruments; our guide to dental implant surgical instruments beyond the drill kit covers them.
- Regenerative options. If you graft often, consider how membranes and grafting materials fit your workflow. See top 10 bone grafting instruments for the hand instruments involved.
- Total cost. Compare the full cost per case, including components, kits, training and maintenance, not just the fixture price.
Frequently asked questions
Is this a ranking of the best implant brands?
No. The companies are listed in no particular order. Clinical choice should be based on evidence, training, support and your own restorative workflow.
Why include Salvin and Osteogenics if they are not implant system brands?
Implant dentistry depends on more than fixtures. These companies supply the oral surgery, regenerative and bone-grafting products used alongside implant systems.
Can I use instruments from other suppliers with my implant system?
System-specific drills and drivers should come from the implant maker, but general surgical instruments such as periosteal elevators, retractors, tissue forceps and needle holders can come from any quality instrument supplier.
What instruments help maintain implants after placement?
Maintenance usually involves probes and implant-safe scalers or curettes. Our list of instruments for implant maintenance explains the options.
