Il mio impianto Straumann è originale?

Domande, con risposta

Chiedete il passaporto implantare. Un impianto Straumann originale arriva in una confezione sigillata ed etichettata del produttore con i numeri di riferimento e LOT/serie — e da Dental Med Austria quei numeri vengono registrati in un passaporto implantare che portate a casa, così voi, o qualsiasi dentista ovunque, potete verificare il componente esatto presso il produttore.

Why documents beat assurances

It is a fair question. Straumann is the premium name in implant dentistry, and wherever a premium name commands a premium price, patients are right to ask how they would know what was actually placed. The answer is never a verbal assurance — it is paperwork that survives the trip home.

Every genuine Straumann implant reaches the clinic in sealed manufacturer packaging whose labels carry the component's reference and LOT/serial numbers. A clinic that documents its work records those numbers at placement and hands them to you. At Dental Med Austria that record is the implant passport, issued with every implant we place — Straumann or otherwise.

How to verify, step by step

Before you travel and after your surgery, this is the sequence that removes all doubt:

1Before booking, get the implant system named in writing — brand and line (e.g. Straumann BLX or BLT) — in your treatment plan, with its price.
2At the clinic, you can ask to see the sealed Straumann packaging for your implant before surgery; the labels carry the reference and LOT/serial numbers.
3After placement, receive your implant passport recording the system and those serial numbers — at Dental Med Austria this is standard, not on request.
4Back home, have your dentist match the passport against your radiographs and clinical records; the implant's connection type is visible on X-ray.
5Keep the passport with your medical records: it identifies the exact component with the manufacturer and is the basis of any Straumann Guarantee paperwork.

Genuine Straumann in Albania, answered

How do I make sure my Straumann implant in Albania is genuine?

Ask for the implant passport. A genuine Straumann implant arrives in sealed, labelled manufacturer packaging carrying its reference and LOT/serial numbers. At Dental Med Austria those numbers are recorded in an implant passport you take home, so you — or any dentist, anywhere — can verify the exact component with the manufacturer.

What is an implant passport?

A document issued to you after surgery that names the implant system placed and records its reference and LOT/serial numbers, taken from the manufacturer's packaging labels. It makes the implant in your jaw traceable for life: any dentist can match it against your records and radiographs, and it is the paperwork a manufacturer guarantee claim is built on.

Can the serial numbers really be checked with Straumann?

Yes — the reference and LOT/serial numbers on Straumann packaging identify the exact component, and the manufacturer or its local distributor can confirm them. Your home dentist can also match the passport against your clinical records and X-rays. That is why the passport, not a verbal assurance, is the standard of proof to insist on.

Does the Straumann Guarantee apply to an implant placed in Albania?

The Straumann Guarantee is the manufacturer's own programme, with scope, conditions and claim procedure defined in Straumann's published terms; claims are documented through a treating dentist using the implant's recorded serial numbers. Because Dental Med Austria records those numbers in your implant passport at placement, the documentation a claim requires exists from day one.

What should I ask a clinic before booking a Straumann implant abroad?

Three things, in writing: which implant system will be placed (brand and line, e.g. Straumann BLX or BLT), the price for that named system, and confirmation that you will receive an implant passport with the serial numbers after surgery. A clinic that documents its implants will answer all three without hesitation.
