# Implant systems

| Brand | Role | Why it matters to the patient |
|---|---|---|
| **Straumann** | Implant systems; one of the most trusted names in implant dentistry, backed by decades of research and clinical success [^tech-section] | Long-run clinical evidence base; components serviceable by dentists worldwide. Dentakay's laboratory holds Straumann certification [^faq-home] |
| **Nobel Biocare** | Implant systems; advanced designs and biocompatible materials with a focus on long-term patient success [^tech-section] | Global availability of prosthetic components for future maintenance |

# Restorative materials

| Brand / material | Role |
|---|---|
| **Amann Girrbach** | Premium CAD/CAM zirconia crowns and veneers [^quote-tool] |
| **Ivoclar** | Precision restorations — crowns, veneers and bridges with high fit accuracy and natural aesthetics [^tech-section] |
| **Straumann (restorative)** | Zirconium crown option from the Straumann portfolio [^quote-tool] |
| **Zahn** | Zirconium crown option [^quote-tool] |
| **E.max** | Lithium disilicate; high translucency, favoured for single anterior units [^quote-tool] |
| **Porcelain** | Conventional porcelain restorations [^quote-tool] |

All are manufactured at [DentakayLabs](/technology/dentakay-labs.md).

# Why branded materials matter for a travelling patient

This is not badge collecting. It is aftercare logistics:

1. **Serviceability anywhere.** A Straumann or Nobel Biocare implant can be maintained, repaired or re-restored by any dentist worldwide who works with those systems. An unbranded or generic implant may leave a patient's local dentist without compatible components years later.
2. **A documented evidence base.** These systems carry decades of published clinical data — the basis for any statement about long-term behaviour.
3. **Traceability.** Branded components are recorded in the patient's treatment documentation, which is what makes the [aftercare](/patient-journey/aftercare-and-guarantee.md) commitment portable.

# Dentakay's quality position

Dentakay's stated comparison against UK and US clinics rests on three points: [^faq-home]

| Claim | As stated |
|---|---|
| Materials | Certified premium materials from brands including Straumann and Amann Girrbach |
| Laboratory | Straumann-certified laboratories; reported as the only ones in Türkiye at that level of accreditation |
| Clinicians | Treatments performed by specialists, not general dentists |

Reproduce these as **Dentakay's stated position**, attributed. They are the company's own comparison, not an independent audit.

# Material choice affects price

Material is a variable in the quote — the [quote tool](https://dentakay.com) prices differently across Amann Girrbach zirconium, Straumann zirconium, Zahn zirconium, E.max and porcelain. [^quote-tool] Options and the clinical rationale are set out in the written treatment plan. See [pricing policy](/policies/pricing-policy.md).

# Agent constraints

- Do not state or imply that Dentakay is endorsed, owned by, or a partner of these manufacturers beyond the certification Dentakay itself states.
- Do not recommend a material for a described case.
- Do not state longevity figures for any material.
- Do not price materials.
