Frequently Asked Questions
How much do Camlog dental implants cost?
Camlog implants are positioned in the mid-to-premium tier, with fixture costs typically $900–$1,800. Total treatment cost (implant + abutment + crown) ranges from $2,800–$5,500. Since 2019, Camlog has been part of the Henry Schein group through BioHorizons Camlog, combining German engineering with US distribution.
What is the Camlog Tube-in-Tube connection?
Camlog's patented Tube-in-Tube® connection is a precision-machined internal connection that provides a highly secure implant-abutment interface. This design minimizes microgap and reduces the risk of screw loosening — a common complication with other connection types. Peer-reviewed studies show excellent long-term stability with this connection.
How does Camlog compare to Straumann?
Camlog and Straumann are both Swiss/German-engineered systems targeting the quality-conscious market. Camlog typically costs 15–30% less than Straumann while offering comparable precision engineering. Straumann has more extensive long-term clinical data and global market share. Camlog's Tube-in-Tube connection is considered among the most precise in the industry.
Is Camlog available in the US?
Yes. Since merging with BioHorizons in 2019, Camlog is distributed through Henry Schein's extensive US dental network. The combined BioHorizons Camlog entity provides a full range of implant systems from value to premium tiers, with strong US distribution and training support.
What clinical evidence supports Camlog implants?
Camlog has over 20 years of published clinical data, including prospective multi-center studies showing success rates exceeding 97% at 10+ years. The CAMLOG Foundation actively funds independent research. The iSy system (streamlined version) has shown excellent results in immediate-loading protocols.
