dental implants
American Made Dental Implants
Since our beginning, BioHorizons has manufactured dental implants in the U.S. Every implant we produce is the result of advanced engineering, precision manufacturing and rigorous quality control.
tapered dental implants
tapered dental implants
The tapered family of dental implants provides excellent primary stability, maximum bone maintenance and soft tissue attachment for predictable results. All implant diameters from 3.0 to 5.8 can be placed with the same instrument kit providing you surgical convenience and flexibility to choose the ideal implants for each patient's needs. With all these features, you no longer have to accept the clinical compromises that come with other implant systems. Implant lengths are available from 6mm to 18mm.

bone attachment
Laser-Lok® microchannels achieve superior osseointegration
connective tissue attachment
Laser-Lok uniquely creates a physical connective tissue attachment and biologic seal1,2
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. 4,5
"There is no other implant that shows functional orientation of fibers. There is not one. This is the only one. This is so important." 6
— Dr. Edward P Allen
legacy implants
BioHorizons began manufacturing parallel wall square thread implants in 1997. Learn more about legacy implants here.
