About Dr. Jack Hahn
Dr. Jack Hahn’s Tapered Implant Journey
"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. You can pay nearly three times as much for an implant I designed for Nobel, but you’re not going to get better results." – Dr. Jack Hahn
Insisting on Innovation
Why Another Implant System?
Only by constantly improving our tools and techniques can we hope to reach the growing number of patients who benefit from this superior form of oral rehabilitation.
- Dr. Hahn
Given the immense popularity and success rates of implants Dr. Hahn has developed in the past, some have asked him, “Why not leave well-enough alone?” But he is not one to rest on his laurels. With more clinicians learning to place implants and more patients embracing this form of treatment, Dr. Hahn wanted to create a system that makes the process simpler, safer, and more predictable — at a cost that the average patient can afford.
How to Bring the New Design to Life?
After meeting with Jim (Glidewell), it was clear that we shared the same goal of expanding the availability of high-quality treatment to more patients.
- Dr. Hahn
The search for a manufacturing partner led Dr. Hahn to some of the same engineering personnel and business leaders with whom he had successfully collaborated in the past, now employed by Prismatik Dentalcraft, the ISO-certified manufacturing division of Glidewell.
The Culmination of a Lifelong Pursuit
Dr. Jack Hahn has been placing and developing dental implants for more than 50 years. His innovations, including the original tapered implant, have played a key role in making implant therapy the predictable mode of treatment it is today. Furthering that legacy, the Hahn Tapered Implant System combines proven features with contemporary design, serving to make implant treatment simpler, safer, and more predictable than ever before.
