9 Ways That Hahn™ Implants Help You Build Your Practice
Discover how switching to Hahn™ implants can expand your services and grow your business.
Author
As you strive to improve your business and efficiently provide care for your patients in today’s dental landscape, your choice of implant system has never been more important. From daily cost savings to the confidence to perform more surgical procedures, the Hahn™ Tapered Implant System helps empower clinicians to treat more patients and grow their practices.
Here are nine ways that Hahn can help make implants a bigger part of your practice:
1. Experience — Dr. Jack Hahn has been providing implant treatment for 50 years, and faces the same situations, patient concerns and challenges that dentists encounter across the country on a daily basis. He designed the Hahn Tapered Implant System with these very dentists in mind, resulting in an implant that excels in the procedures typically performed in the general practice.
Dr. Jack Hahn developed the first tapered implant in 1996, and collaborated with Glidewell to launch the Hahn Tapered Implant in 2015, combining the tapered design with a pronounced thread pattern and other features that maximize primary stability and bone preservation.
2. Cost Savings — At $160 each, Hahn Tapered Implants are available at a fraction of the price of other premium implant systems, reflecting Dr. Hahn’s commitment to reducing the cost of offering treatment in the general practice.
“During my career, I’ve discovered what works and what doesn’t, and I’m happy to share the Hahn implant, which is the culmination of everything I’ve learned, with my fellow clinicians at a price that helps grow the dental practice and expand patient access to care. You can pay more than twice as much for an implant I designed for Nobel, but you’re not going to get better results.”
— Dr. Jack Hahn
3. Simplified Protocol — The Hahn Tapered Implant System includes a streamlined, easy-to-follow surgical protocol specifically designed for the general practice. The color-coded Hahn Surgical Kit and drills clearly map the drilling protocol for each implant and include fewer steps than most implant systems.
In addition to the Hahn Tapered Implant's user-friendly design, Glidewell offers an array of live and online courses, helping dentists take on new implant procedures with confidence.
“It is very orderly and simple. The way they color-code the drills is brilliant. For doctors who are just starting out with implants, you don’t want to be thinking too much about what drill comes next and what sequence to follow. The surgical kit makes it all very straightforward. You really can’t make too many mistakes with the Hahn system. Its simplicity is definitely one of the many strengths of the system.”
— Dr. Stuart Coe

4. Designed with Purpose — Every aspect of the Hahn Tapered Implant System is engineered to help you succeed in expanding the implant services you offer patients. The prominent thread design of the Hahn implant allows for swift insertion, enables precise directional control during placement, and has demonstrated excellent primary stability in all bone types. This design is well suited for immediate extraction sites and emergency implant cases, and is particularly beneficial for patients who don’t wish to leave the dental practice without a temporary restoration in place.
The tapered shape of the Hahn implant — a design feature pioneered by Dr. Hahn — eases positioning within anatomically constricted areas. The Hahn Tapered Implant System includes length-specific drills and a wide range of sizes to allow placement in all regions of the mouth, from tight anterior spaces to second molar sites.
5. Save on Your Implant Restorations — When you restore Hahn Tapered Implants at Glidewell, you get 20% off your case every single time, helping you keep your practice’s costs down while making treatment more affordable for patients.*
When Dr. Hahn formed a partnership with Glidewell President and CEO Jim Glidewell, CDT, to create the Hahn Tapered Implant, they found a shared philosophy in making high-quality implant treatment available to more patients by reducing the cost of care, and the 20% discount stands as a proud indication of that commitment.
Dr. Hahn and Jim Glidewell display the Hahn Tapered Implant — the culmination of decades of clinical observations and innovation.
6. Proven and Predictable — In addition to boasting a design informed by 50 years of clinical experience, the Hahn Tapered Implant has demonstrated a 99.2% survival rate in clinical study.† To offer patients implant treatment with confidence, clinicians need an implant they can count on to preserve bone and facilitate a predictable outcome. A retrospective study on the Hahn Tapered Implant exhibited just that, including:
- Less than 0.2 mm average bone loss after two years
- Average increase of 0.05 mm of bone between year one and two
Further, the machined collar of the Hahn Tapered Implant is a feature that has been shown to mitigate bacterial plaque adhesion to the dental implants, as well as preserve crestal bone and soft tissue health.**

7. Trusted by Experts — Leading experts choose the Hahn Tapered Implant as a simple, efficient means of placing implants in the general practice. In fact, the renowned Misch International Implant Institute, which has trained more than 6,000 dentists how to place implants, uses the implant system to teach its students the surgical and restorative aspects of implantology, following the research-based principles for which the institute is known.
“It has simplified the surgical and the prosthetic protocol immensely. With the Hahn system, each implant has a specific … final drill, so you don’t need drill stops. You don’t have to look at the black lines. It makes implants so easy.”
