Astra Tech dental implants

Astra Tech implants are filed with regulators under the name Dentsply Sirona Inc., part of the Dentsply Sirona. The company is headquartered in United States.

The address on its regulatory filings is: York, PA, US (FDA 510(k) applicant address).

Headquarters and factory are not always in the same place. We only list manufacturing sites after we have confirmed them, so a “made in” claim should be checked against the implant's packaging or passport.

Yes. The FDA database lists 21 endosseous implant 510(k) clearances for Astra Tech, the first in 1994.

Recent examples: OmniTaper EV Dental Implants (K221094, 2022); PrimeTaper EV Dental Implant (K210610, 2021); OsseoSpeed Profile EV (K130999, 2013).

FDA clearance means the FDA found the device substantially equivalent to one already legally sold. It is not a quality ranking and says nothing about how one brand compares with another.

Well-known Astra Tech implant lines include Astra Tech Implant System EV, PrimeTaper EV and OmniTaper EV.

Ask the clinic that placed it for the implant sticker or implant passport. It shows the system, diameter, length and lot number. Keep a copy.

Implants sold in the United States carry a Unique Device Identifier (UDI). With the UDI you can look up the product in the FDA's AccessGUDID database.

If no records exist, a dentist can often narrow it down from an X-ray, but that identification is not certain.

Astra Tech is usually offered as a premium option in clinics. It typically sits at the higher end of a clinic's price list.

We don't publish prices, because the implant is only one part of the bill. The clinic, country, number of implants, abutment, crown, scans and any bone grafting all change the total. Ask for a quote that names the brand and system and lists everything included.

Astra Tech is premium implant line from Dentsply Sirona. The FDA database lists 21 implant clearances for it, the first in 1994.

No brand is best for everyone. Whether Astra Tech is a good choice for you depends on your bone and treatment plan, your dentist's experience with the system, and whether parts will be available where you live.

We don't publish a single survival percentage for any brand. Studies differ in patients, follow-up time and how they define success, so their numbers can't be fairly compared between brands.

What makes the biggest difference over the years is gum health, smoking, a history of gum disease, and regular professional cleaning. The European Federation of Periodontology's clinical guideline on peri-implant disease focuses on exactly these factors.
