Dental Implant Brands in Turkey: Straumann, BEGO, Hiossen and Osstem Compared

Written and clinically reviewed by Dr. Arzu Uluköylü
Last updated: 19 October 2026

Choosing a dental implant is not only about choosing a brand. The right implant system depends on the bone available, the position of the missing tooth, gum health, bite forces, the final crown or bridge planned above it, and the clinician’s ability to use that system properly.

Still, implant brand matters.

Patients travelling to Turkey often ask whether clinics use recognised implant systems, whether replacement parts will be available in the future and whether a lower-cost implant is appropriate for their case. This guide explains the differences between four implant brands commonly discussed by international patients: Straumann, BEGO, Hiossen and Osstem.

At FineUp Clinic, implant treatment is planned with digital imaging and in-house laboratory support. The final decision about the implant system is made after clinical assessment and treatment planning, not from a brand name alone.

Quick answer: which dental implant brand is best?

There is no single implant brand that is best for every patient.

Straumann, BEGO, Hiossen and Osstem are all established systems used internationally. The most appropriate choice depends on the individual case, including:

• The quantity and quality of jawbone

• Whether the implant is for one tooth, several teeth or a full arch

• The area of the mouth being treated

• Whether bone grafting or sinus treatment is required

• The planned crown or bridge material

• The patient’s bite and clenching habits

• The clinician’s treatment protocol and access to compatible components

A properly planned treatment with a suitable, documented implant system is more important than choosing a brand based only on advertising, price or country of origin.

Why does the implant brand matter?

An implant is a medical device placed into the jawbone. After healing, it supports a crown, bridge or full-arch restoration. The implant system includes more than the titanium implant fixture itself.

It can also include:

• The implant-abutment connection

• Healing caps and surgical components

• Abutments or customised connecting components

• Screws used to secure the final restoration

• Laboratory components

• Digital planning and restorative workflows

• Availability of compatible parts for future maintenance

For patients travelling abroad, clear documentation is particularly useful. After treatment, you should be able to keep a record of the implant system used, the implant position and the final restoration. This helps a dentist in your home country understand the treatment if future maintenance is needed.

Straumann implants in Turkey

Straumann is a Swiss implant company with a long international history in implant dentistry. It is widely recognised for its implant systems, restorative components and digital treatment workflows.

Straumann is often considered by patients who are looking for an extensively established implant brand with global availability. However, the suitability of any Straumann system still depends on the individual treatment plan.

A clinician may consider the implant position, bone dimensions, aesthetic requirements and the intended crown or bridge before selecting a system. For example, a front-tooth implant case and a full-arch case may require very different planning even when the same manufacturer is used.

BEGO implants in Turkey

BEGO is a German dental company known for its experience in dental technology, prosthetics and implant-related workflows. The brand is often discussed by patients who want to understand how implant placement connects with the design of the final teeth.

The final crown or bridge is a major part of implant treatment. It affects bite, appearance, cleanability and long-term maintenance. This is why implant planning should include the restorative stage from the beginning, rather than treating the surgical and prosthetic stages as unrelated procedures.

FineUp Clinic is an Official BEGO Support Partner in Türkiye. Our implant cases are planned alongside the restorative process and supported by an in-house dental laboratory.

Hiossen implants in Turkey

Hiossen is an implant brand associated with the United States and used internationally. It is often searched by patients who want a recognised system with a broad range of implant and prosthetic components.

As with every implant system, the relevant question is not simply whether Hiossen is “good” or “bad.” A dentist needs to assess whether the available implant dimensions, connection type and restorative plan are suitable for the patient’s specific needs.

Hiossen can be considered for single-tooth replacement, bridge support or larger restorative plans when it is appropriate for the clinical situation. Patients should ask which system is being proposed, why it is suitable and whether their treatment documents will identify the implant used.

Osstem implants in Turkey

Osstem is a South Korean implant manufacturer with wide international use. It is commonly discussed in implant price comparisons because it is used across many markets and offers a broad range of clinical applications.

Osstem may be considered in straightforward and more complex implant cases, depending on the treatment plan. However, an implant system should never be chosen only because it appears in a low “from” price.

The final cost and long-term result can also depend on:

• Bone grafting or sinus procedures

• The final crown or bridge material

• The abutment and laboratory work

• Temporary teeth, where needed

• The number of visits

• Follow-up and maintenance planning

A transparent quote should explain these elements separately or confirm exactly what is included.

Straumann, BEGO, Hiossen and Osstem: practical comparison

This table is not a ranking. Each system may be appropriate in the right case. Your dentist should explain the clinical reason for the recommendation in clear language.

Does the country you live in affect which implant brand is practical?

It can.

The implant brand does not determine whether treatment will be successful on its own. However, the country where you live may matter for future maintenance, component availability and how familiar local dentists and laboratories are with a particular system.

For example, a patient returning to the United States may prefer to discuss Hiossen as one possible option because the brand is widely recognised in the US market. This can make it easier for a local dentist to identify the system and, where appropriate, source compatible parts or provide routine maintenance.

For patients returning to the United Kingdom or elsewhere in Europe, internationally established systems such as Straumann and BEGO may be practical options to discuss. These systems are familiar to many European clinicians and restorative laboratories, although availability and a dentist’s willingness to provide follow-up care can vary.

Osstem is also used internationally and may be suitable in many cases. Its appropriateness should be decided from the clinical plan, rather than assuming that a patient’s home country automatically determines the correct implant.

Before treatment, ask your clinic:

1. Which implant system is being proposed and why?

2. Is that system commonly supported in my home country?

3. Will I receive the implant brand, model and component information in writing?

4. Can a local dentist reasonably identify and maintain the restoration if routine care is needed later?

No clinic can guarantee that another dentist will accept responsibility for treatment completed elsewhere. However, choosing a documented, established system and keeping complete records can make future communication much easier.

Implant brand is only one part of the treatment

An implant fixture is not a finished tooth.

For a single missing tooth, treatment may include consultation, imaging, implant placement, healing, an abutment, the final crown, laboratory work and review appointments. In other cases, bone grafting, sinus treatment, temporary teeth or additional visits may be required.

This is why two clinics can quote very different prices while both say they are offering the same implant brand.

Before accepting a treatment plan, ask:

1. Which implant brand and model will be used?

2. Does the quote include the implant, abutment and final crown?

3. What crown or bridge material is included?

4. Is a CBCT scan included if it is clinically needed?

5. Is bone grafting included, excluded or still to be determined?

6. Will temporary teeth be provided if needed?

7. How many visits are likely to be required?

8. Will I receive treatment records and implant identification after treatment?

9. What follow-up is available after I return home?

How FineUp Clinic plans implant treatment

At FineUp Clinic, international patients can share photographs and available X-rays before travelling. This allows the team to prepare a preliminary assessment and discuss a likely treatment timeline.

The final plan is confirmed after a clinical examination and imaging in Istanbul. Implant placement, bite planning and the final restoration are considered together. Our in-house laboratory supports the design and refinement of crowns and bridges, helping the surgical and restorative stages work as one treatment plan.

Many implant cases require two stages: implant placement during the first visit, followed by healing and a later visit for final crowns or bridges. The exact timeline depends on the individual case.

Frequently asked questions

Are implant brands in Turkey genuine?

This depends on the clinic and the treatment plan, not the country alone. Ask the clinic to identify the implant brand and model in writing and request treatment documentation after the procedure.

Is Straumann better than Hiossen or Osstem?

No brand is automatically better for every patient. The right choice depends on the clinical situation, bone anatomy, restorative plan and the clinician’s recommended protocol.

Is BEGO a good implant brand?

BEGO is an established German dental company with implant and restorative workflows. Whether a BEGO implant is suitable for a particular patient depends on the treatment plan and clinical assessment.

Can a dentist in the UK maintain an implant placed in Turkey?

A UK dentist may be able to provide routine maintenance or address certain issues, but this depends on the individual dentist, the treatment records and the specific care needed. Keeping complete treatment information is important.

Read our guide: Can UK Dentists Treat Teeth Done in Turkey?.

Should I choose an implant brand based on price?

Price should not be the only deciding factor. Compare complete treatment plans, including the implant, surgery, abutment, final crown or bridge, imaging, laboratory work, temporary teeth and follow-up.

Final thoughts

Straumann, BEGO, Hiossen and Osstem are all implant systems that may be considered in Turkey depending on the patient’s needs. The most important step is a clear treatment plan that explains why a particular system is being recommended and how the final restoration will be designed.

A good implant plan should give you more than a brand name. It should explain the treatment stages, materials, likely number of visits, expected maintenance and the records you will receive after treatment.

If you are considering implant treatment in Istanbul, you can request a preliminary implant assessment from FineUp Clinic.
