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.

Warranty conditions.
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.
