Losing one or more of your teeth creates a gap in your smile, affects your ability to chew properly, and can alter your diet and nutrition.
While these are all serious issues, did you know that tooth loss also leads to bone loss?
When a tooth is lost, the jawbone beneath it begins to shrink (or atrophy) and becomes brittle from lack of exercise. Not only does losing a tooth affect your smile, it also changes the shape of your face causing you to look prematurely aged.

• maintains bone*
• maintains your youthful appearance
• restores your natural smile
Dental implants are the new standard of care for tooth replacement. They are secured into the bone to provide long term support for crowns and dentures.
BioHorizons dental implants are treated with our proprietary Laser-Lok technology. This helps your smile remain beautiful over time.
BioHorizons' implants are lightweight, strong, biocompatible and made from titanium, the most widely used material in implant dentistry. Restore and maintain your natural smile with individual dental implants, implant-supported fixed bridges, or implant-supported dentures.
Ask your dentist for more information about restoring and maintaining your natural smile with individual dental implants or implant-supported fixed dentures from BioHorizons
Titanium posts (implants) are inserted into the jaw, where the bone will heal around them. After the implants have healed, your denture is modified to snap onto the implant abutment. The denture will be secure but may be removed for cleaning with a simple "snap".
