This article compares two approaches side by side to clarify how they differ in principle and practice. A complete restoration generally involves three parts: the implant body placed in bone, an abutment that connects to it, and the final crown, bridge, or denture that a clinician restores on top. As a medical device manufacturer, INVAMED develops technologies in this area; the information here is educational and not medical advice.
Background: Dental Restoration with Osseointegrated Titanium Implants
Dental implants are small titanium fixtures placed into the jawbone to serve as artificial tooth roots, onto which a prosthetic tooth or bridge can later be attached. The DENTURA system from INVAMED groups the implant fixtures, prosthetic abutments, and surgical instrumentation intended for placing and restoring these implants. A complete restoration generally involves three parts: the implant body placed in bone, an abutment that connects to it, and the final crown, bridge, or denture that a clinician restores on top.
Titanium implants vs Zirconia implants: Key Differences
Titanium and zirconia are both used for dental implants, with titanium having the longest and most extensive clinical track record. Titanium is valued for its biocompatibility and capacity to osseointegrate, while zirconia is a ceramic sometimes considered for its tooth-colored appearance. DENTURA Dental Implants use a titanium implant body with an osseointegration-enhancing surface treatment. Which material is appropriate for a given patient is a clinical judgment that considers esthetics, site, and individual factors.
How INVAMED Supports Both Approaches
INVAMED organizes the DENTURA dental line around the components and processes involved in placing an osseointegrated implant and building a prosthesis on top of it. Procurement teams should confirm local registration and indication status, which can vary by market, and reference product documentation for full specifications. DENTURA Dental Implants use a titanium implant body with an osseointegration-enhancing surface treatment and are available in multiple diameter and length options.
Key Considerations
- Adequate bone volume and quality at the implant site are central to planning, and may prompt consideration of grafting as judged by the clinician.
- Cost and treatment packages are set by the providing clinic and depend on many case-specific factors rather than the device alone.
- Osseointegration underpins implant stability, and the healing interval before loading is determined case by case.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are DENTURA implants made of?
DENTURA Dental Implants use a titanium implant body with an osseointegration-enhancing surface treatment, and are offered in multiple diameter and length options.
What osseointegration figures does INVAMED report?
INVAMED reports osseointegration rates exceeding 95% at 5 years for DENTURA implants; this describes studied performance and is not a guarantee for an individual.
What is the INVAMED dental implant system called?
INVAMED's dental line is the DENTURA system, comprising the DENTURA Dental Implants, the DENTURA Dental Abutment, and the DENTURA Dental Surgical Kit.

Clinical and Technical Context
Osseointegration underpins implant stability, and the healing interval before loading is determined case by case. Whether immediate or delayed loading is appropriate is determined by the treating clinician, not by the device alone. INVAMED reports osseointegration rates exceeding 95% at 5 years for its DENTURA implants, a figure that describes studied performance rather than an individual guarantee. Titanium is widely used because it is biocompatible and can integrate with bone; surface treatments are designed to encourage that integration further. A complete restoration generally involves three parts: the implant body placed in bone, an abutment that connects to it, and the final crown, bridge, or denture that a clinician restores on top. Modern implant workflows are typically staged over several months to allow healing, though timelines and loading protocols are determined by the treating clinician for each case. Whether a titanium implant is appropriate for a particular patient is a clinical decision that depends on bone volume, site, and overall assessment. Within the DENTURA system, the DENTURA Dental Abutment is intended to pair with the DENTURA implant body platform.
