Tapered Short implants

Now available in 6mm and 7.5mm lengths, offering a solution for cases with limited vertical bone height and minimizing the need for bone grafting.1 The implant design features an aggressive thread profile and tapered body for primary stability, even in compromised situations.

A platform switched, dual-affinity, Laser-Lok® surface offers crestal bone retention and a connective tissue attachment for flexible placement in uneven ridges.

Laser-Lok: better science, better implants

Control cellular migration - control esthetic outcomes

Only the Laser-Lok surface has been shown using light microscopy, polarized light microscopy and scanning electron microscopy to also be effective for soft tissue attachment. 3,4

"There is no other implant that shows functional orientation of fibers. There is not one. This is the only one. This is so important." 5
