What is the history of implants?
Dental implants have been available over the past 50 years or so. However, there are significant differences, among the various types of implants that have been used to replace missing teeth. The differences are important since they are directly related to the implants success rates. The implants currently in use today, OSSEO INTEGRATED IMPLANTS, were originally developed in Sweden by Dr. P.I. Branemark., a Swedish Orthopedist approximately 25-30 years ago. They have been used in the U.S. for the past 12 years.
