At Gordon Dental Implants and Cosmetics, we trust the Hahn Glidewell HT system because of its unique combination of proven design features and cutting-edge innovations.

With decades of research and clinical success behind it, this implant system is engineered to simplify treatment while providing long-term stability, function, and esthetics. It is produced by Glidewell Laboratories and made right here in the USA.

Key Design Features of the Hahn Tapered Implant

1. Tapered Body for Versatility

The tapered shape of the Hahn implant allows it to be placed in both narrow and wide areas of the mouth from replacing a small lateral incisor to restoring a molar extraction site. This design also provides secure anchorage, even in anatomically challenging areas.

2. Advanced Thread Pattern for Stability

The implant features sharp buttress threads with self-tapping grooves, enabling the implant to engage securely with bone during placement. This provides excellent primary stability, even in softer bone or fresh extraction sockets.

3. RBM Surface for Osseointegration

Each implant is treated with Resorbable Blast Media (RBM) surface technology, a process that roughens the titanium surface and enhances bone-to-implant contact. This promotes faster and stronger osseointegration the biological fusion of implant and bone.

4. Conical Internal Hex Connection

The implant’s conical prosthetic connection creates a tight seal and adds mechanical strength. This helps prevent micro-movement and bacterial leakage at the connection point, protecting the bone and ensuring the stability of the restoration.

5. Machined Collar and Microthreads

At the top of the implant, a machined collar and coronal microthreads are specifically designed to preserve crestal bone and support healthy gum tissue. This leads to more natural-looking esthetics and long-term soft tissue stability by significantly the reducing chance for peri-implantitis.
