The same Swiss Straumann fixture your UK dentist orders, placed in Tirana for £760 (€900) with the crown against £2,000-3,000 at home — brand and batch number on the quote, 10-year written warranty, three hours from London.
Free WhatsApp quote →Straumann is a Swiss manufacturer with over sixty years in the field and one of the most documented implant systems in the world. Two things recur in its clinical literature: Roxolid, a titanium-zirconium alloy stronger than pure titanium, which allows narrow-diameter implants where the bone is thin, and SLActive, the hydrophilic surface designed to shorten healing. These are not marketing lines — they are the two technical reasons a surgeon reaches for Straumann in a difficult case.
The implant in the box is the same one a Harley Street practice orders from the same catalogue. What changes is the clinic's cost base: rent, salaries, lab. In Tirana a Straumann implant with the crown costs £760 (€900) at Sky Dental (2026 list), against £2,000-3,000 in the UK — and none of that difference is in the titanium.
We wrote a dedicated guide: how to verify a foreign dental clinic.
No, and it would be dishonest to say so. Straumann is what surgeons pick most often for thin ridges, bone grafts and complex cases. In a standard case with good bone, Nobel Biocare or Alpha-Bio deliver excellent clinical results at a lower cost. The surgeon chooses on the X-ray, not on the price list: here is the three-brand comparison.
Sky Dental uses Straumann, Nobel Biocare and Alpha-Bio Tec as its reference systems, with 3D CT planning, an in-house lab and a 10-year written warranty in English. The clinic that fits your case is proposed after the X-ray review, by our four public criteria.
At Sky Dental in Tirana a Straumann implant with the crown is £760 (€900) on the 2026 list, against £2,000-3,000 at a UK private practice. Bone grafts or sinus lifts are quoted separately; the exact figure is on the written quote after the X-ray review.
Yes. The quote states brand, model and batch number, and the batch certificate can be handed over before surgery. That is the check we recommend in any clinic, in any country.
Roxolid is Straumann's titanium-zirconium alloy, stronger than pure titanium, which allows narrower implants in thin ridges. SLActive is the hydrophilic surface designed to shorten healing time. Both are documented in the manufacturer's long-term clinical studies.
Two separate ones: the manufacturer's warranty on the component, and the clinic's 10-year written warranty on materials, issued in English and handed over before you pay.
Two: 4-5 days for the implant surgery, then 3-4 months of healing at home, then 3-4 days for the final crown. Direct flights from London, Manchester and Birmingham; full records for your UK dentist.
