Frequently Asked Questions
How much does the Straumann + Wieland (Germany) implant package cost in Beijing?
Our top-tier — Swiss implant + German crown Straumann dental implant fixture + Wieland (Germany) permanent crown package in Beijing is $1,599 — fully transparent, all-inclusive pricing across 1-4 visits over a 4-month treatment pathway. Straumann SLActive implants run $2,200-2,500 in Bangkok and $4,000-6,000 in the U.S./U.K.; our Beijing program offers genuine Straumann fixtures at 30-50% off Western pricing — same brand, same fixtures, fully traceable.
Is the Straumann dental implant safe and high-quality?
Yes. Swiss Straumann SLActive — the global gold standard with the longest peer-reviewed clinical record (50+ years) and accelerated 3-4 week osseointegration. Our partner clinic in Beijing is licensed at China's Grade A international tier, uses the same Siemens/Planmeca CBCT and surgical equipment as top US/UK clinics, and every Straumann fixture is verified by serial number against the manufacturer's database — guaranteeing genuine imported product.
What does the Straumann implant package include?
The $1,599 package includes: comprehensive oral exam (clinical + panoramic X-ray + CBCT 3D imaging), personalized treatment plan, professional pre-surgery cleaning, local anesthesia, Straumann implant fixture placement (typically 60-90 minutes), abutment placement at month 3, custom Wieland (Germany) crown fitting at month 4, post-op review, and full SinoCareLink English-speaking medical coordination throughout.
Are the dentists placing my Straumann implant fully qualified?
Yes. All implant placements are performed by licensed implantologists at our Grade A partner clinic in Beijing, with formal training in Straumann surgical protocols. Our partners include internationally accredited or top-tier Chinese dental facilities meeting strict national standards. Straumann certification documents are available on request.
Will I get English-language support during my implant treatment?
Yes. SinoCareLink provides full English-speaking medical coordination across all visits — including treatment plan walkthrough, professional translation of the consent form and post-op report, in-clinic chaperone, and remote check-in messages during the 3-month osseointegration period. We do not rely on the clinic's own English staff alone.
How long is the full Straumann implant treatment in China?
The standardized pathway runs ~4 months: Visit 1 (Day 1) is the implant placement under local anesthesia. Months 1-3 is osseointegration at home (with remote SinoCareLink check-ins). Visit 2 at month 3-4 places the abutment and takes a digital scan; Visit 3 fits the permanent Wieland (Germany) crown. Some patients consolidate Visits 2-3 into one longer trip, completing the program in 1-3 visits total.
Is the Straumann implant the right choice for my case?
Straumann is best suited for complex cases — patients with diabetes, low bone density, smokers, or those wanting the longest peer-reviewed clinical track record. The Wieland (Germany) crown is ideal for front teeth where aesthetics are paramount — color stability and chip resistance match top-tier crowns at high-end European clinics. Final suitability is confirmed by the dentist after your in-clinic CBCT scan — if your case requires complex bone grafting, sinus lift, or a different brand profile, we will transparently quote any add-ons in writing before treatment proceeds.
Is the dental implant placement painful?
The implant fixture is placed under local anesthesia — most patients report only mild pressure during the 60-90 minute procedure, similar to a routine extraction. Post-op discomfort is typically managed with over-the-counter pain relief for 2-3 days. The Straumann self-tapping thread design minimizes bone trauma during placement.
Can I do the Straumann implant treatment on a 240-hour Beijing transit visa?
Yes for Visit 1. The implant fixture placement (Day 1) plus initial recovery fits comfortably within a 240-hour (10-day) transit window — we recommend arriving 24h before surgery and staying 48-72h after. Visit 2 (abutment + scan) and Visit 3 (crown fitting) can also each be completed within a separate visa-free stay, and many nationalities qualify for China's 30-day unilateral visa-free entry with no onward-ticket requirement. Many patients combine Visits 2 and 3 into a single 5-7 day trip 3-4 months later.
What support do I get after the implant placement?
Comprehensive post-op support: written aftercare instructions in English, prescription guidance for any antibiotics or pain relief, SinoCareLink remote check-in messages at Week 2 and Month 1, urgent-care coordination help if you need a local dentist abroad, and a digital post-op report (English) within 7 working days. Our team helps you navigate the full 4-month osseointegration period from anywhere in the world.
