Written warranties

Every implant, crown, and prosthesis comes with a written manufacturer warranty.

20 years on the ICX implant body and abutment — among the longest in the European implant market, backed by TÜV Rheinland-certified German engineering. 3 years on crowns, 2 years on veneers — manufacturer-backed material warranties, documented in writing at consultation, transferable across the EU.

The full schedule

All warranties in one table.

No marketing math. No fine print buried in a 30-page document. Every warranty we offer, listed.

Item Warranty
ICX dental implant (body) 20 years
Abutment / superstructure on implant 20 years
Retention element for prosthesis on implant 1 year
Zirconia (metal-free) crown 3 years
Metal-ceramic crown 3 years
Porcelain veneer (E.max) 2 years
Acrylic prosthesis 3 years
Metal prosthesis 3 years
Retention elements of metal prosthesis 1 year

All warranties cover materials only and exclude biological-medical changes. The 20-year warranty refers to the ICX manufacturer guarantee — Medentis medical GmbH, Germany. Other implant systems (Straumann, Nobel Biocare) carry their own manufacturer warranties — we work with patient-requested systems on demand.

The ICX Implant Passport

Proof of originality, in your hand.

Every patient who receives an implant at Ars Salutaris leaves with a physical ICX Implant Passport. It contains:

  • · The unique manufacturer serial number for every implant placed in your jaw
  • · The TÜV Rheinland certification reference
  • · Date and location of placement
  • · Treating surgeon's signature
  • · QR code linking to Medentis medical GmbH's manufacturer verification portal

Any dentist anywhere in the European Union can scan the QR code and confirm — instantly — the origin, batch, and warranty status of every implant in your mouth. This is what traceability actually means in implant dentistry. It is the difference between "trust us" and "verify for yourself."

Straumann and Nobel Biocare both ship with equivalent documentation if you specifically request one of those systems.

The fine print, in plain language

Warranty conditions.

Condition 1

One control visit per year

The warranty periods above require at least one annual control visit, either at our clinic in Zagreb or with your own dentist in Sweden who provides us with the visit record. This is the same condition that any prosthetic warranty in the EU carries.

Condition 2

Materials only, not biology

Warranties cover the materials we placed — implant body, abutment, crown ceramic, veneer ceramic, prosthesis material. They do not cover biological-medical changes (e.g. bone loss from untreated periodontitis, peri-implantitis from poor hygiene, traumatic fracture). Those are clinical-care issues handled separately under our Zero-Abandonment Guarantee.

Condition 3

In writing, at consultation

Specific warranty terms are documented in your treatment agreement before any procedure starts. You sign it, we sign it, you keep a copy. There is no "we'll figure it out later" warranty here.

Condition 4

Transferable across the EU

The ICX 20-year manufacturer warranty is honoured by Medentis medical GmbH directly. If you move to another EU country, the warranty travels with the Implant Passport.

Why ICX is our default

German engineering, EU traceability, 20-year warranty.

ICX is manufactured by Medentis medical GmbH in Walporzheim, Germany. The implant body is TÜV Rheinland-certified. It is the same implant system used in thousands of EU clinics, with peer-reviewed survival data of ~93% at 9 years (PMC 4541089) and warranty terms among the longest in modern implant dentistry.

We choose ICX as our default for two reasons: (1) the 20-year manufacturer warranty on the body and abutment materially outlasts the 5–10-year warranties most implant systems offer, and (2) Medentis ships the Implant Passport with every implant, which is the documentation Swedish dental tourists need to verify what they got.

If you specifically request Straumann or Nobel Biocare, we work with those systems on demand. Their warranties differ — typically 10–lifetime depending on the model — and we document the exact terms in your treatment agreement before placement.
