Have you lost one or more teeth and are looking for a lasting, less invasive and aesthetic solution? At Dental Harmonia, we use the Bicon® implant system, a benchmark technology in dental implantology since 1985. Discover why this extraordinary implant is changing our patients' lives.
What is the Bicon® implant?
The Bicon® system is a dental implant known as "short", marketed under the name Bicon SHORT®. Unlike longer traditional implants, it was designed to suit patients with reduced bone volume, a common situation after prolonged tooth loss.
Clinically proven for more than 40 years, the Bicon® system has established itself as one of the most reliable implant solutions in the world, chosen by thousands of dental surgeons across the globe.
The major difference: the conical connection system (Locking Taper)
One of the major innovations of the Bicon® implant lies in its screwless fixation system. Where conventional implants use a screw to secure the abutment to the implant, Bicon® uses a locking taper, a precision mechanism that offers several decisive advantages:
- ✅ No risk of unscrewing: the abutment cannot loosen over time
- ✅ Bacterial seal: a hermetic joint prevents bacterial proliferation at the implant-abutment junction, which protects the bone and gum tissue
- ✅ Free 360° positioning: the abutment can be oriented in any direction, offering exceptional restorative flexibility for the practitioner
Why is the Bicon SHORT® ideal for patients with little bone?
The reduced length of the Bicon® implant (from 5 or 6 mm) makes it possible to:
- Avoid the maxillary sinus (upper jaw) and the inferior alveolar nerve (lower jaw), two anatomical structures that often limit the placement of conventional implants
- Reduce or eliminate the need for a bone graft, an additional step often dreaded by patients
- Place the implant in narrow spaces, where a standard implant could not be inserted
For many patients who had been refused an implant elsewhere, the Bicon® implant represents a second chance to regain a fixed, natural tooth.
The concrete benefits for the patient
| Criterion | Bicon® implant | Conventional implant |
|---|---|---|
| Length | Short (5-6 mm minimum) | Standard (10-16 mm) |
| Bone graft | Often avoided | Sometimes necessary |
| Fixation screw | No (locking taper) | Yes |
| Bacterial seal | Excellent | Variable |
| Abutment flexibility | 360° | Limited |
| Clinical track record | Since 1985 | Varies by brand |
How is a Bicon® implant placed at Dental Harmonia?
Here, every implant treatment begins with a complete assessment including a 3D scan performed on site. This step is essential to precisely analyze the available bone volume and plan the implant placement with optimal surgical precision.
The protocol then unfolds in several stages:
- Consultation and diagnosis: thorough clinical and radiological analysis
- Personalized treatment plan: selection of the implant, abutment and crown suited to your anatomy
- Implant placement: surgical procedure performed under local anesthesia, often in less than an hour
- Osseointegration phase: the implant fuses with the bone over a period of 2 to 6 months
- Placement of the final crown: an aesthetic and functional result, identical to a natural tooth
