BioHorizons Dental Implants — Smart Value with Laser-Lok® Technology
BioHorizons offers excellent value, utilizing Laser-Lok technology—a series of micro-channels on the implant collar that helps soft tissue attach vertically, preventing bone loss. They are an excellent mid-tier choice balancing cost and advanced features.
Key Technical Features
- Laser-Lok® micro-channels — patented 8/12 micron channels for perpendicular connective tissue attachment
- Only implant technology with independently validated physical soft tissue attachment
- RBT (Resorbable Blast Textured) surface — calcium phosphate blasting, comparable to premium surfaces
- Tapered Internal Plus system — good primary stability across bone types
- $300–$500 less per implant than premium brands with comparable outcomes
- FDA-cleared, Made in USA (Birmingham, Alabama)
Risks & Limitations
Smaller clinical evidence base than the Big Three (Straumann, Nobel, Astra Tech) — fewer long-term (10+ year) studies available. Less extensive global presence — may be harder to service if relocating internationally. Fewer advanced digital workflow integrations compared to premium brands.
