Dental Implants - a bit of history

For many of us, implant technology for missing teeth is a new concept; something we never imagined possible. In an age of medical breakthroughs and longer, healthier living, it shouldn't be surprising that lost teeth no longer means dentures floating in a glass. Science offers a better solution.

The success of Nobel Biocare Dental Implants is based on one ingenious discovery made in the early 1950's by Swedish scientist Per-Ingvar Branemark. He observed that titanium, a very strong and lighweight metal, will intergrate with the natural jaw bone tissue, thereby creating a platform for permanent teeth replacements.

Professor Branemark completed his first dental implant case on a patient in 1965, putting a big smile on the face of Gosta Larsson. The method has now been documented for 35 years and in that time Nobel Biocare has created more than a million new smiles around the world.
