Comparison in terms of material and materials used

Implants are mainly made of titanium metal and sometimes of zirconia in order to have a high compatibility with the patients' body and not to cause sensitivity. Titanium implants may also be made of pure titanium metal or of titanium alloys. In general, German companies use the best raw materials to make their products.

Comparison in terms of longevity and durability

The lifespan of both types of German and Korean implants is generally considered to be 10 years. Although the manufacturing technology, design and quality of the implant are directly related to its durability, however, other things such as how to perform dental implant care, oral and dental hygiene and the skill of the surgeon also affect this durability.

But in general, due to the high quality and good design of German implants, we can expect these implants to last longer than Korean implants.

Comparison in terms of abundance and availability

Due to sanctions, it is easier to import Korean implants than German implants. Also, due to the lower price of these implants, more Korean implants are imported into the country and it is easier to access them.

However, German implants are expected to have a higher success rate due to their high quality and compatibility.

Advantages and disadvantages of German and Korean implants

All implants have common advantages and disadvantages that are undeniable. For example, all implants replace lost teeth, but implanting them all in the jawbone causes bleeding gums and facial swelling. However, some implants have characteristics that clearly represent the country of their manufacture.
