Dental implant brands - Straumann, Nobel, Neodent
Why implant brand choice matters for New Zealand patients - genuine components, warranty, and NZ follow-up at Picasso Dental Clinic.
Picasso Dental Clinic uses internationally recognised implant systems including Straumann, Nobel Biocare, and Neodent so New Zealand patients receive components their local dentist can identify, maintain, and document for warranty.
Implant brand is not marketing fluff - it is whether your NZ dentist will touch the case in five years.
