Bicon Dental Implants

One of the cornerstones of the simplicity of the Bicon Design is the innovation of short implants.

Since then, the natural progression of Bicon’s design philosophy has resulted in 5-, 5.7-, and 6-mm short implants, which all have proven clinical success. For more information, call (800) 882-4266.
