Since 1985 dentists have been offering patients the benefits of the Bicon Dental Implant System. With the Bicon implant, your dentist has the ability to provide you with secure implant restorations that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. We invite you to learn more about what the Bicon implant can do to help address your dental needs.

NanoTite™ is an ion-beam modification of Bicon’s standard Integra-Ti™ titanium alloy surface. Using an Ion-Beam Assisted Deposition process, the titanium alloy is modified with a thin (less than 1 micrometer) amorphous calcium phosphate compound with HA-like chemistry for enhancement of bone integration.

Bicon’s new Brevis™ Overdenture System is designed to work with all Bicon implant lengths and diameters, offering exceptional restorative simplicity and flexibility. The Brevis™ System provides a lower profile overdenture abutment which achieves 3.0mm of reduced height compared to the o-ring abutment system. The Brevis™ Abutment is packaged with its own pink titanium housing.

Introduced on September 9, 2005, at the Bicon World Symposium 2005, SynthoGraft™ is a synthetic, biocompatible and resorbable granulate ceramic made of pure phase Beta-Tricalcium Phosphate (Ca3(PO4)2) which is used as a matrix for oral and maxillofacial bone regeneration or augmentation.

This innovation is only possible because of Bicon’s elegant plateaued design, which provides cortical-like bone with central vascular systems around the implant. This cortical-like bone not only grows faster, but also provides for functionally different capabilities than the appositional bone around non-plateaued implants. With Bicon, longer implant length is not necessarily better.
