The BioHorizons portfolio of implants includes multiple options to expedite treatment, helping you deliver implant treatment for your patients in fewer appointments.
Tapered Pro
BioHorizons Tapered Pro implants have been designed to deliver predictable immediate results in all indications from single unit to full-arch cases.
“The design of the Tapered Pro implants allows me to use the system for a range of treatment protocols, from single implants to complex immediate-loading cases. The thread design and primary stability from the implants makes my immediate cases much more predictable.”
— Arshiya Sharafi, DDS
Tapered Short
When vertical bone height is limited, Tapered Short implants can expedite treatment by avoiding bone grafting procedures.
“Treatment of resorbed ridges can present several challenges. Bone augmentation requires longer treatment time, added costs and morbidity. In addition, patients often object to complex surgical procedures. Tapered Short implants have been a welcomed addition to my practice as they can avoid adjunctive surgical procedures while delivering similar treatment outcomes for my patient. Although clinical studies have shown short implants may have higher failure rates during healing, I have not experienced one Tapered Short implant failure to date. This is likely due to the improved primary stability from the tapered body design and deeper buttress threads.”

Tapered 3.0
Anterior sites often have inadequate space and bone volume, and placing standard diameter implants can result in prolonged grafting procedures. Tapered 3.0 implants are designed to be placed in anterior sites with limited space and have been proven to be 17 to 40 percent stronger than competitor implants when loaded.
"Anterior implant sites can be challenging when it comes to having enough bone volume and/or adequate spacing. When these situations arise, it's nice to have the Tapered 3.0 implant from BioHorizons. With this tapered implant around, my patients can often avoid additional bone grafting procedures while saving time and money, all the while taking one step closer to restoring their smile."
