Dr. Batorfi, who has gained the degree Master of Oral Medicine in Implantology in Münster in 2006 and his team of experts place hundreds of dental implants every month. The decades of dental implant experience and their records come with a 98 percent success rate for thousands of patients now happy to have the pleasure of natural chewing back.
'I would recommend you to anyone who is thinking of having dental implants and I would be more than pleased to show them the work you have done.'

What is a dental implant?
Dental implant is an artificial tooth root made of a bio-material, which is placed in the socket of the lost teeth to carry a tooth replacement. The material is generally pure, unalloyed titanium, which is completely accepted by the human body.
Types of dental implants we use:
1. Nobel Biocare (Sweden):
- Nobel Replace
- Nobel Active
Characteristics of NOBEL® dental implants:
As the world leader in innovative esthetic dental solutions, Nobel Biocare (Sweden) provides completely new dental implant for easy, effective and esthetic treatments. The proven dental implant design from Branemark System and the popular internal connection from Replace is the perfect match. Together with a wide variety of Nobel Biocare prosthetics and the Procera range of personalized components, beautiful esthetics can be created for every case and every patient.
Nobel Biocare offers an extremely broad solution portfolio in order to meet the individual needs of dental professionals and their patients. The four most popular implants in the portfolio are NobelReplaceTM, NobelActiveTM, NobelSpeedyTM, and Brånemark SystemTM.
Together, these four implant families cover the full range of possible restorations-from single tooth and full arch.
Nobel Replace
Its versatility, ease-of-use and predictability have made NobelReplaceTM the most widely used implant design in the world.
Considered a general-use, bone-level implant system, NobelReplace performs equally well in soft and hard bone. It can be used in both one- and two-stage surgical procedures, and with immediate temporary abutments and prosthetics, while the tapered shape consistently delivers optimal initial stability.
Dental professionals benefit from a system that is unique in ease of use, flexibility and breadth of application - a system that grows according to their needs and requirements.

2. Straumann (Switzerland):
- SLActive
Characteristics of STRAUMANN® SLActive dental implants:
The Straumann SLActive System (Switzerland) is the newest dental implant system available and combines the outstanding technological precision of their German manufacturer with a number of key innovations that reduce treatment time and the risks of infection.
Although they are about 10% more expensive than other dental implant systems, they allow us to offer a complete treatment from dental implant to crown within only 3 months. In some cases it is possible to achieve the crown fitting within 1 month.
Straumann SLActive is the newest technology tooth implant. With more than 20 years of clinical research that have resulted in over 3000 scientific publications, this implant is the most extensively documented, clinically validated and practice-proven implant system.
The Straumann system is reliable, simple and versatile. Reliable because it works with reduced healing time, designed for optimal tissue response and has maximum stability. Simple because it is simple to use by the oral surgeon and versatile because it has successful outcomes with any indications, many surgical possibilities and prosthetic options.
Most of the implant surfaces are made rough with a titanium plasma spray (TPS) so to help osseointegration. Straumann had created a new technology in 1997 with which they had cut healing time by half. This surface was called SLA (sandblasted and acid etched) and resulted much greater than its anchestors. These surfaces were already very popular by the time Straumann had created a newest surface in 2005, the first hydrophilic surface (SLActive), which cut healing times by half again.
With SLActive Straumann had sett new standards in implant dentistry. SLActive provides 60% more bone after two weeks, cutting the healing time from 6-8 weeks to 3-4 weeks. Higher treatment predicability and reduced risks.
Most implant failures occur in the critical early period between week 2 and 4. This is the pivotal 'dip' (stability gap), presents in the period between primary and secondary stability in the bone formation process. The innovation of SLActive is the 'Activation of full healing potential' which means the full and immediate activation of the human body's natural healing potential. The SLActive surface (chemicall active, hydrophilic) promotes the initial healing reaction, allowing for direct cell interaction at the initial stage of the osseointegration process. Bone formation is immediately initiated resulting an earlier secondary stability and reducing the critical dip.
