BioHorizons Tapered Pro
BioHorizons · 🇺🇸 United States
In plain English
Designed for immediate placement and stability in soft bone.
The top of the implant sits level with the jawbone. This gives the dentist the most freedom to shape the gum for a natural look, which is why it is the most common type today.

What the connection means
A six-sided socket inside the implant stops the abutment from rotating. It is easy for dentists to work with and very widely copied, so parts are easy to find.
About the surface
Laser-made micro-channels on the collar help gum fibres attach to the implant, which may reduce bone loss around the neck. The body uses a resorbable-blast (RBT) texture.
