Global dental leader transforming Malaysia’s oral care with unmatched quality and global expertise.
Kuala Lumpur, 27 August 2024 – Straumann, the leading brand of the Straumann Group – one of the world’s largest implant manufacturers – proudly announces its 70 years of innovation. Renowned for its pioneering advancements in dentistry, Straumann has established itself as an iconic implantology brand in the dental community. Straumann’s innovations in Malaysia are recognised and embraced by local dental professionals and institutions, and this anniversary reflects on past achievements and a steadfast commitment to future advancements in Malaysia’s and global dental care.
“At Straumann, our commitment goes beyond offering advanced dental solutions. In 2023, our focus remained on continuously innovating and adapting to meet the needs of our customers, ultimately transforming lives and enhancing smiles. We are proud to have improved the oral health and quality of life for 5.6 million people globally.
“In Malaysia, we aim to elevate dental care standards, support local dental professionals, and ensure that high-quality care is accessible to everyone. This dedication fuels our drive to push the boundaries of what’s possible in dental care and to uphold our mission of restoring not just smiles but confidence,” said Vida Lau, Straumann Group’s Southeast Asia Commercial Director.
Straumann has played a critical role in transforming dental care, driven by its commitment to Swiss engineering and manufacturing standards and a deep-seated culture of research, innovation, and education. The brand’s achievements in dental implantology, material and surface science, digital dentistry, and regenerative solutions underscore its relentless pursuit of excellence to give access to better oral care globally.
According to recent studies, nearly 40% of Malaysians suffer from untreated dental issues, which significantly impact their overall health and quality of life[1]. Moreover, poor oral health in Malaysia has a broader impact on individuals’ social and economic well-being as inadequate oral health is linked to higher rates of unemployment and reduced productivity[2]. By focusing on comprehensive dental health strategies and equipping local dental professionals with advanced technologies and training, Straumann aims to elevate the standard of care in Malaysia and improve its population’s overall quality of life.
From its inception in 1954 to the cutting-edge developments in implantology and digital dentistry, Straumann’s history is marked by significant milestones that have shaped the dental industry. The brand’s trajectory from research and science through implantology and establishing the International Team for Implantology (the leading provider of education and research grants in implant dentistry for dental professionals worldwide) to IPO and its global expansion is remarkable. This journey has culminated in groundbreaking innovations underpinned by Swiss premium engineering, showcasing an enduring commitment to enhancing dental care and exemplifying a formidable entrepreneurial spirit.
Vida Lau highlighted, “Our focus on digital innovations in Malaysia is aimed at elevating the precision and efficiency of dental treatments, thus addressing local needs more effectively. At Straumann Group, we offer dental implants, other regenerative solutions, and digital solutions like ClearCorrect aligners. In addition to our product offerings, Straumann prides itself on providing thorough end-to-end services and robust after-sales support to ensure your customer leaves with a smile.
“For dental professionals, our comprehensive training solutions and platforms at Straumann Campus Live are designed to provide the necessary education and support for upscaling the dental community with the latest technology. Its diverse resources are digitally accessible, surpassing geographical limitations through hands-on workshops and collaboration with leading global universities.”
Straumann’s significant impact on implantology, prosthetics, digital dentistry, and regeneration has solidified its position as a top choice in premium dentistry. The company’s engagement with dental professionals, academic institutions, and clinical settings underscores its commitment to understanding and meeting the evolving needs of the dental community and patients amidst the rapid digital transformation of dentistry.
Anticipating future innovations, Straumann focuses on integrated, open systems, services, and solutions aimed at enhancing the experiences of both practitioners and patients, emphasising product quality, scientific and clinical excellence facilitated by enabling technologies.
