History
SDS Swiss Dental Solutions AG emerged from many years of engagement with metal-free treatment concepts, biological dentistry, and the evolving demands of modern implant dentistry. During the 1990s and early 2000s, important foundations were established for the development of ceramic implant systems.
During this period, zirconia gained increasing attention as an implant material in both research and clinical practice. At the same time, new approaches to biocompatible and metal-free treatment concepts were developed, further increasing the demand for high-performance ceramic implant systems.
Between 2001 and 2004, the first ceramic implant solutions were developed and brought to market. The knowledge gained during this period laid the foundation for the continued advancement of modern ceramic dental implants and helped shape the direction of future innovations in this field.
Founding of SDS
The continuous advancement of ceramic implant systems led to the founding of SDS Swiss Dental Solutions AG in 2007. Over the following years, the company developed into an internationally recognised leader in the field of ceramic implant systems.
Between 2002 and 2012, the first two-piece ceramic implants were developed, with strength values today exceeding those of comparable titanium implants. Further innovations followed with the development of the latest generation of one-piece hybrid implants in 2013–2014.
In 2016 the SWISS BIOHEALTH CLINIC for biological dentistry and medicine was established in Kreuzlingen, followed in 2017 by the SWISS BIOHEALTH EDUCATION CENTER, which now attracts over 4,000 participants annually.
Between 2017 and 2019, Bone Growing Implants and the BISS Bone Implant Stabilisation System were developed. In parallel, the Anatomical Implant Method (AIM) ad-hoc navigation system, the RAP aesthetic reconstruction method, and the GAP guideline for guided augmentation procedures with structured training formats were introduced. In 2021, the LONGEVITY FAST TRACK GUIDE was published in German and English.
In 2022, the SDSBOX, one of the most precise fully guided navigation systems to date, was developed and became the first navigation system accredited by the CleanImplant Foundation. Additionally, the SDSAIM ad-hoc navigation system and the 1.2_BRIGHT_2.2 ceramic implant system received CleanImplant accreditation, with the implant system being the first worldwide to achieve double certification for both production and manufacturing.
At the end of 2023, the strategic development of SDS Swiss Dental Solutions AG was further strengthened through the entry of a leading healthcare private equity investor, Gilde Healthcare, and experienced industry experts.
Today, the clinical application and ongoing development of the systems is carried out by a team of experienced specialist dentists and implantologists, who have collectively placed several thousand implants and continue to advance the philosophy of biological, metal-free implantology.
