What is Astra?

The history of implants is longer than you might think.

In 1965, a patient received the first implant surgery, and he used that implant for as long as 40 years.

This surgery was not simply a tooth replacement, but the result of a medical experiment on how bone and metal could harmonize, and it began in Sweden.

That is why, among today’s implant types, the sense of trust that an imported brand gives comes not from a simple image, but from clinical data and stability proven over time.

At the center of that is the representative brand, Astra Implant.

What Is the Implant Brand Astra?

The structure of implants has continued to evolve over time.

Early implants were designed with an external protruding structure, which had an advantage in terms of fixation, but

they also had limitations such as repeated screw loosening and gum bone loss.

The structure developed to solve this problem was the internal connection implant.

And the implant company that first developed and established the internal connection + bone-height-customized structure is Astra Implant.

In other words, it would not be an exaggeration to say that the standard design of the modern implant we commonly know today was completed around Astra.

Features of the Implant Brand Astra

Surface treatment method: TiO₂ (titanium dioxide) sandblasted surface treatment

Initial fixation: somewhat low

Osseointegration (bone fusion): strongly promoted

Long-term stability: excellent / outstanding performance in preventing bone resorption

Astra Implant

creates a fine roughness on the surface to encourage bone cells to attach to the bone more quickly and more densely.

Although it may seem slightly weak in fixation at first,

the key point is that once it is fixed, it is an implant type that excels at preventing bone loss and maintaining long-term durability.

In other words, Astra’s identity is “an implant that bonds a little later, but lasts longer.”

Strengths of Astra’s Design

• One of the implants with the best ability to preserve the alveolar bone (gum bone)

• Stability for long-term use confirmed for over 30 years

• Nano-scale surface treatment that maximizes the contact area with bone

• Excellent aesthetics, making it suitable even for front teeth

• Considered one of the world’s top three premium implant types

→ It is very suitable for patients who need to consider both long-term stability and aesthetics.

Cost of the Implant Brand Astra

Astra Implant belongs to the premium implant category, and the average cost range is as follows.

Minimum: about 1.2 million KRW

Average: about 1.6 million KRW

Maximum: about 2 million KRW

However, this can vary significantly depending on the patient’s gum bone condition, whether bone grafting is needed, and the difficulty of the surgery,

so the exact cost is determined after diagnosis.

Why Choosing the Right Dental Clinic for Astra Matters

Even with the same implant type, completely different results can appear depending on who places it.

Astra Implant is an implant for which delicate surgical know-how is very important, including initial fixation, osseointegration management, and post-operative care.

Therefore, it is best to receive treatment at a clinic where the medical team has been selected by Astra headquarters as an excellent implant institution, or at a clinic with a collaborative system involving experienced oral and maxillofacial surgery and prosthodontics specialists.

Gangnam Saero Dental Clinic has been selected by Astra headquarters as an excellent institution, received an award in the implant-specialized clinic category, and operates a collaborative system with experienced medical staff on site, helping patients experience stable surgical results over the long term.
