Rounding up the most innovative dental implant systems

Roughly 3 million Americans have dental implants, and that number is expected to grow by 500,000 a year, according to the American Academy of Implant Dentistry. It should come as no surprise then that more and more companies are developing innovative dental implant systems.

These revolutionary systems allow for faster osseointegration and a more comfortable fit. What’s more, many of these systems are now interchangeable and compatible with most of the industry’s leading implant manufacturers.
