People who care about their dental health are always looking for the best options for diagnosing and treating oral diseases. In some cases, it is necessary to replace a natural tooth with an artificial one - in such a situation, Zimmer dental implants, which are manufactured in the USA and are in great demand around the world, would be an excellent solution. High-quality prostheses are characterized by a high survival rate and rapid osseointegration. In addition, they can be installed using different methods depending on the specific clinical case.
Our business-class dental clinic specializes in implantology and offers patients optimal designs for implantation from well-known manufacturers. For example, the American implant from Zimmer is sold at an affordable price and impresses with its high reliability.
We are located in the center of Moscow, welcome!
About the manufacturer
Previously, these products were produced by the Swedes under the trademark Sulzer Calciteck. However, since 2003, the production of Zimmer implants has been owned by an American company.
But the production of dental structures is not the only advantage of the brand. Instruments are also produced for the neurosurgical industry, traumatology and other segments of medicine.
The company has established itself as a manufacturer of high-quality, reliable products. It was Zimmer who was the creator of an innovative prosthetic system, creating implants with a trabecular surface.
Initially, parts were created for orthopedics, especially hip reconstruction. After the successful implementation of the system in traumatology, a dental implant with identical data for fastening was developed.
General overview
The Zimmer trabecular implant is a development by Zimmer Biomet, created through the joint efforts of American and Swiss specialists. A corporation specializing in the production of dental prostheses provides all the necessary equipment and auxiliary instruments, providing a full cycle of orthopedic restoration. The certified models included in the line under consideration are distinguished by a high rate of osseointegration, eliminate the occurrence of negative consequences from surgical intervention, and guarantee the safe operation of prostheses under any load.
Design Features
The company is the only one in the world that produces implants from a unique material – tantan.
The material has a number of undoubted advantages relative to traditional titanium:
- the quality of biocompatibility is one step higher;
- completely hypoallergenic;
- corrosion is absolutely excluded;
- installation takes place without complications, the product takes root 100%;
- a structure due to which bone tissue grows surprisingly quickly.
Another feature of Zimmer dental implants is their spongy surface. Bone tissue grows into a real porous structure and forms a single mechanism. Thanks to this technology, the risk of foreign body rejection is zero.
Attention! The company’s systems also have exceptional quality: they hold tightly, eliminating the possibility of unwinding. This is achieved through an innovative fastening method using small teeth on the upper end of the product.

Indications and contraindications
What Zimmer differentiates is that they fit where other implants fail. Thus, there is a wide range of indications for implantation:
- with minimal bone volume;
- with bruxism, these are the only systems that provide such an opportunity;
- to minimize the healing time, the prosthesis can be fixed after 2.5 months;
- in case of pathologies and other exceptional cases;
- If you previously had a bad experience and the engraftment failed, this is not possible with implants from Zimmer.
There are no contraindications to implantation of products of this particular brand. Relative prohibitions with an individual approach are completely eliminated .
However, it is worth noting that there are absolute prohibitions on the installation of orthopedic structures in general:
- diabetes mellitus 1 degree;
- autoimmune diseases;
- endocrine problems with the thyroid gland;
- age of the patient (individual condition is taken into account).
Reviews
Despite the little popularity of implants from an American manufacturer in the Russian Federation, many patients have already appreciated the advantages of the trabecular structure of these products.

The lineup
The company's dental products are divided into three main types: standard, thin and mini implants. The former are used in standard cases that do not have exceptional structural features.
The latter are prescribed when there is very thin bone tissue. The internal part of such rods is narrowed and allows you to easily install the base without the risk of transformation.
Mini implants are used for a one-step procedure. The operation is carried out immediately after the removal of your own tooth, which allows you to reduce drilling or completely eliminate it. A characteristic feature is the root of the structure, fused with the abutment.
Attention! You can only find out which implant is suitable in a particular case by consulting a specialist. Often in expensive private clinics, where the patient agrees to install the expensive Zimmer system, the consultation is free.
Product catalog
The manufacturer produces 3 categories of artificial roots:
- Standard (root-shaped) - used for classical (two-stage) restoration of the dentition. As a rule, the upper roots are replaced.
- Mini - created for express prosthetics and are often used if it is not possible to install a standard option.
- Thin – excellent for patients who have bone deficiency or anatomically narrow alveolar space.
Installation sequence
After the consultation, the dentist reports on the installation progress and its sequence. The operation is performed only after the preparatory part and complete elimination of all contraindications.
The time required to secure the implant is from 30 to 50 minutes, depending on the specific case. Implantation can take place either under general anesthesia or local anesthesia.
Tolerable pain after fixing the structure is quite normal, since surgical intervention took place in the bony part of the jaw.
After a few days or a week, the discomfort will disappear. However, if the pain symptoms do not go away on the 10th day, it is imperative to consult the doctor who performed the installation.
Preparation
Preparatory procedures include:
- identifying contraindications through conversation with the patient;
- the general condition of the oral cavity and the condition of the teeth in the immediate vicinity of the necessary are studied;
- An X-ray or computed tomography scan of the jaw is required to determine the density and thickness of the tissue for implantation;
- It is imperative to treat other unhealthy teeth and gums before surgery to avoid possible complications.
Also, a week before the implantation procedure, it is necessary to maintain complete oral hygiene. In addition to standard brushing of teeth, it is recommended to rinse with special antiseptic solutions.
Elimination of relative contraindications
Elimination of relative prohibitions on the installation of structures is carried out solely on the basis of the individual characteristics of the organism.
Zimmer implants are universal and do not have their own contraindications, but common problems must be eliminated before surgery.
For example, gum inflammation, herpes and other changes in the oral cavity are considered a minor obstacle. However, before the operation, you must undergo a course of treatment and completely get rid of them. To do this, the dentist himself prescribes treatment or sends you to another more competent doctor.
Diseases such as caries, periodontitis, periodontitis and periodontal disease must be eliminated. Also, when replacing old structures with new ones, it is necessary to thoroughly study the compatibility of materials in order to avoid corrosion.
Implantation surgery
The operation to install one implant takes about 10 minutes. The rest of the time is preparatory work and a short break after.
A classic operation without complications and bone grafting is performed according to the following scheme:
- the gums and periosteum are retracted to expose the bone;
- a bed for the structure is formed in the jaw in the right place using a special machine;
- the implant is inserted into the bone and securely fixed;
- then the gums return to their normal state; if necessary, the soft tissues are cut and stitched back together at the end of the operation.
Interesting! To prevent the bone tissue from overheating due to the speed of drilling, the machine is equipped with a system with a special irrigation liquid. Therefore, the implantation takes place with an assistant to remove excess solution that obscures the view.

Recovery period
During the rehabilitation period, maximum attention is paid to oral hygiene. You should always brush your teeth on time. To do this, it is recommended to use medium-hard brushes. Antiseptic rinsing solutions should not be neglected.
Food during recovery should certainly be soft. Fatty, sour and spicy foods are excluded - foods can serve as a catalyst for the development of infections, which will lead to complications. It is also recommended to avoid very hot or cold drinks, coffee and soda.
Undoubtedly, you need to take antimicrobial drugs, which are necessarily prescribed by your doctor. Often, for the first time after the procedure, it is recommended to treat the gums with special ointments for speedy healing.
Prosthetics
In the best case, prosthetics are performed 2 months after installing the implant on the lower jaw, and after 4-6 months on the upper jaw . These deadlines are maintained to minimize the risk of rejection.
There are methods of instantaneous loading (everything is fixed at once). And in three days you can get a finished prosthesis, but in this case the possibility of infection or further rejection increases several times.
The installation of a crown can be either permanent or conditionally removable prosthetics. One differs from the other mainly in the preparation of implants and teeth located nearby. The second method is used only if the patient has complete absence of teeth.
Important! If the implant “scrolls” before or during prosthetic surgery, it is entirely the dentist’s fault. You should not listen to explanations about “organism factors.”
In private clinics, a similar situation is immediately specified in the contract, and most often the clinic performs a repeat operation at its own expense or returns the money.

Warranty and service life
Zimmer provides a 20-year warranty on its products. In fact, after 15 years of the manufacturer’s activity in the dental market, it is difficult to talk about the real service life of tantalum implants.
Despite this, experts note the high quality of the products presented and the rare cases of their rejection. The opinions are confirmed by a huge number of positive reviews from grateful and satisfied patients.
The service life of the structure can be shortened by the following factors:
- poor oral hygiene;
- decreased immunity;
- general health problems;
- design features of the installed implant;
- length of service and experience of the specialist who performed the operation.
It is important to know! Do not confuse the service life of the tantalum part of the tooth and the prosthesis installed on it. The crown may be damaged, but the metal element will retain its integrity. This means that over the entire lifespan of the artificial root, the patient can change more than one prosthetic structure.
Price
The cost of Zimmer dental implants is not even in the middle segment of this market. But the high price for the product has several influencing factors:
- the cost of the material itself;
- installation specialists are trained only in the USA;
- The production of prostheses is almost individual.
Due to the fact that products are ordered abroad, their cost in rubles depends on the current exchange rate. However, a complete installation from A to Z is estimated at 100 thousand rubles and more.
Information for comparison with implants from other manufacturers
Until recently, the leadership in the production of dental implants belonged to the Swedish company Nobel (Nobe Biocare), which uses class 4 titanium (G4Ti) in its production, which does not contain aluminum and vanadium impurities.
It is also worth highlighting the American company Bicon Dental Implants, which uses high-quality titanium in its production. The rods are small in size and can be installed in cases of severe bone atrophy.
Manufacturers from the German company Xive produce titanium products with a special FRIADENT coating, which have a high survival rate. Zirconium dioxide is also used to produce pins and abutments.
